Ouch. No, seriously, ouch. Kinixtion, a particularly good blog with full album uploads, just got busted by Eyeball records. I suppose that this shouldn't surprise anyone, and I suppose that it is justified... it's just, too bad.

Hello,

We recently looked at your blog and found you've been distributing our record to your readers for free. How nice of you!

Since we have access to the numbers for New Atlantic, I assume you'll be sending us the wholesale amount for the copies you distributed?



632 Copies at $9.16 Wholesale = $5,789.12



The check can be made out to Eyeball Records and sent to the address below. The band will be so excited when they find out about the huge royalty check coming their way! They're starving on the road right now so the extra money will really help!



Please also send a check for $9,160.00 for the New London Fire downloads. 1000 downloads sounds about right, They will be so excited! The singer has a wife and two kids. The money you're sending will put food in those kids mouths! You're a great customer.



Number Twelve is really popular. Go ahead and send us a check for $18,320.00 for that one. 2000 downloads sounds about right. The staff here can all use raises since we work damn near close to free to help these bands out. A raise will really bring morale up around here!



Just in case you choose not to send the checks, we'll have the lawsuit ready and waiting. Look forward to your prompt response, and thanks for your business!

Man, I'd hate to be those guys right now. I hope they don't get tagged too bad, because I stole a loooot of music off of them. I'd like to wish that they'd make a return, but, it's likely that these folks are going to be staying away from the pirated music scene for awhile.
