We can't provide information to means of acquiring pre-release music, nor do we condone such things. All information provided via leak alerts is, by definition, publicly available; we seek to aggregate that info in a useful way.
Jak cannot guarantee that information provided will always be timely, complete or accurate. For instance, if he falls into a well, you might stop getting messages entirely. You get what you pay for, man. Unless you subscribe via cellular text message, in which case you may get slightly less than you pay for.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Dear Calico Jack Bloggers,
On behalf of XL Recordings and Jack & Meg, we would kindly ask you NOT to post unreleased WHITE STRIPES links on these threads / loops. Regrettably, should you do so DMCA notifications shall be forwarded to the site and take-down action shall follow : naturally, however, we hope that this shall not prove to be necessary.
As you may be aware, traffic on this (unreleased) album is being monitored and removed ... .. and not just by Web Sheriff, but also by Warners and their attorneys so, if you have to indulge in this activity (which Jack and Meg would rather you didn't), then do it off-line / do not 'broadcast' it via blogs ; otherwise your details will be harvested and you may be hearing from Warners and / or the RIAA.
On behalf of the artist’s label, we do appreciate that - of course - you are fans of / are promoting THE WHITE STRIPES but, by the same token, you must also appreciate that, by posting a pirate copy of the album or tracks from the album pre-release (or linking to pirate copies), you are potentially causing considerable inconvenience and we are sure that you would not want to be personally responsible (or liable) for all of the resulting damage and disruption.
Thank you for respecting the artist's and label's wishes and, if you want good quality, non-pirated preview tracks, NME magazine in conjunction with XL Recordings are now offering "Icky Thump" (the single) and "Rag and Bone" on coloured vinyl with the current issue of NME. If you want these tracks before release, simply buy / get hold of a copy of NME, but please do not then put these tracks into unauthorised, digital distribution ... .. not only would this be failing to reciprocate the gesture of goodwill / trust shown by the artist and label in giving these vinyl, collectors' items to fans ahead of release, but you'd also highly likely to land yourselves in trouble further down the line when other 'parties' take-over the role of copyright enforcement (with very different methods).
Whilst writing, we'd add that we're not at all against free music BUT, at the end of the day, it should be (and is) the artist's decision as to whether or not they effectively allow the unauthorised distribution of their album on-line before release - as it's THEIR MUSIC !! For the avoidance of doubt, the recent Q101 broadcast was NOT authorised (so there are no double standards applying here).
The album's release is just over a week away now, so thanks, once again, for your co-operation and understanding (and patience).
As you will appreciate, this e-mail - containing, as it does, a position that is potentially prejudicial to our clients’ open / formal position - is written on a without prejudice basis and, as such, all of our clients’ accumulated, worldwide rights remain strictly reserved : please excuse this required formality.
With Thanks & Regards,
WEB SHERIFF
Dear Web Sheriff,
Thanks for the 75,000 messages. Good to hear from you, all those times. Although maybe you should just start a blog.
But Calico Jak would like you to know that he didn't link to any pirated copies of the album. Nor has he ever linked to pirated copies of any album, in the history of time, dating back to Genesis 1:1.
Just so you know, Jak is very hurt that you would throw around such reckless accusations. He's locked himself in his bedroom and he's crying and crying. He was going to sue you for defamation, but it turns out he's represented by Web Sheriff. I know, awkward.
Thanks again for your time. For the record, I agree with your stance on artists' rights. As would Jak, were he here, instead of in the fetal position guzzling Nyquil.
Sincerely,
Dean
On behalf of,
CJ
P.S.: You should probably send him a bunch of Omaha Steaks or something.
80th subscriber! I should win a prize!
What a brilliant idea! Thank you mister Jak.
