Kinixton vs. Eyeball Records

I'm Kinda mad Let me show you why.
There WAS a great website that promoted and allowed for free full album downloads, for great indie music that isn't even in stores.
So eyeball records sent this email saying



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

New Atlantic The Streets, The Sounds and The Love

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!

Frankly I think this is bullshit.
Bands that are on website like these blow up!
Bands usually increase dramaticlly over night.(Like P!ATD)
The record company makes it seem like they are the victims in this.
But they don't create the music that's being ripped.
The real victim is kinixton who is being charged,
$32,000 for albums other websites hosted!
That doesn't seem right does it?
I'm asking everyone to ban Eyeball Records!
The bands that they have signed!
All the bands they have signed!
Write them a letter telling them what assholes they are!
