The record companies are trolling your blog

Over the past weekend, I posted about how the new Raconteurs album was leaked online...by iTunes accidentally. What happened next? The Web Sheriff showed up to the mikemcguff.com blog and left this comment:

Hi Mike,

On behalf of XL Recordings and Warner Bros Records, many thanks for plugging "Consolers Of The Lonely" and The Ranconteurs' pioneering, 'fans-first' release concept ... .. it's a pity about the early leak via iTunes, but thanks also, on belalf of the labels and the artist, for not posting any pirate links.

Regards & Happy Easter,

WEB SHERIFF
