Statement from Vagrant Records

Posted by: Jason Tate (07/21/09)
A message from Vagrant Records can be found below.
Message from VagrantVagrant Records here. We don’t normally chime in on message boards like this, but we see a lot of back and forth about the Thrice piracy issue and feel we should let people know our position: We see a lot of posts basically blaming us for this leak. Vagrant has been using that same player for almost three years and this has never been an issue. In this case, someone clearly and unfortunately went out of their way to try and hack into our system. The link got into the wrong hands and someone took the time to figure out how to get around the password and user log in. Obviously there are people out there we thought we could trust with that information, but instead have proven to be dishonest.

Vagrant is currently speaking to Thrice’s management and the band about the best methods for the album release and how we’re going to proceed. When there is more to tell on that front, Vagrant will get the word out through all available media outlets.

The band is honored to have such true, loyal supporters, and your responsibility in this matter is greatly appreciated. All we can do at this point is appeal to the fans good graces and ask they avoid permeating an already tough situation.

We sincerely thank you for your support!

to people who suggest posting this online on ITUNES, etc. immediately...that won't work. Suddenly pushing the release date up for online retailer is unfair to the stores that are carrying the physical record. Everyone will buy the digital immediately, and there will be thousands of physical copies sitting on store shelves.

I really hope they can come up with a good way to put this out early because of this.

It's nice that they made this statement, but from what I heard, there wasn't very much "hacking" involved. Not to mention, technology changes a lot in three years, you can't just sit around and hope what was safe three years ago is safe today.

It's getting to the point where albums should just be completely locked down until the release date.
