Hello, everyone.
Some of you may have seen mention here of leaked MP3s from the Beekeeper album.
I've removed that thread due to legal issues that might possibly incur from such file sharing here on our forum.
Even offering an outside way to find the leaked songs (through e-mail, a personal website, etc) is not a good idea because you're using the forum as a vehicle for it.
Understand we are not pointing fingers or judging anyone at all!
Let's face it, we all get excited about new Tori music and we want to hear it as soon as possible. These days, there are ways to find the leaked songs pretty easily. But until the official release, anything leaked and shared via the forum here is fair game for "cranky lawyers" (to borrow a term) to come after us for.
It's been discussed among some the admins/mods here and we've decided we don't want to take that risk. We are mostly/especially concerned because it's not just a couple songs, but the full album that's being leaked.
We would like to support and honor Tori's music by NOT condoning the early/leaked sharing of it here.
So PLEASE DO NOT post any further links or have any thread discussions that provide links to the songs.
Furthermore, although I have no way of monitoring PMs (that P in PM truly stands for something), I will also ask that you PLEASE DO NOT PM links to the leaked MP3s amongst yourselves. The reason being that if legal action WERE ever taken, the server would be opened for investigation and PMs would be readily viewable and they would show who was doing the spreading.
If you have come here looking for any leaked MP3s, please do not ask for them further. This includes creating threads and PMing moderators or members. No MP3 information for the Beekeeper album (other than official-news releases, etc.) will be posted on this forum.
I know many fans will still continue to download the leaked songs and pass them on. We cannot stop that, we can only ask that you do not do it here! What you share privately via Instant Message or e-mail or on other sites is in your own hands, of course.
This will become a new toriforum guideline and it will pertain to ALL/ANY kind of full-album unofficial (leaked) music sharing of this nature.
Thanks you guys. Hope I don't sound like the evil stepmother...
I'm just the Queen Bee.
And February 22 isn't THAT far away now.
