I got pulled over (while surfing the web)

I thought I'd publish this comment from my April 26 post in regards new Band of Horses material. I researched Web Sheriff and discovered it is a London, UK-based service that specializes in the protection of on-line rights against infringements and abuse.

Web Sheriff's clients include record labels, music publishers, pop stars, film companies, film stars, celebrities, sports personalities, theatre producers, book publishers, video companies, games companies, national newspapers and the media generally. Check out the Web Sheriff website here if you are so inclined, otherwise, check out what happend when I got pulled over (I was let go with a warning ...).

Also and as a goodwill gesture to fans and bloggers, an exclusive widget for the video of “Compliments”, as well as a preview stream of “Laredo” are currently available via the band’s official website ... .. these are for embedding and hyper-linking ONLY / for streaming by fans directly off the band’s site, so please reciprocate this goodwill gesture by NOT ripping and re-posting the audio files.
