Who Let The Elephants Out? *UPDATE*

*UPDATE*

Due to apparent copyright infringement, I was forced to remove the download links by the IFPI for a few of the songs I put up. However I have left the videos up as they are readily available on Youtube and I see no reason why they wouldn't be allowed to be hosted on here. Here is a copy of the email I recieved:

"Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to "draft" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message.) This means your post - and any images, links or other content - is not gone. You may edit the post to remove the offending content and republish, at which point the post in question will be visible to your readers again.

A bit of background: the DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. If you believe you have the rights to post the content at issue here, you can file a counter-claim. For more information on our DMCA policy, including how to file a counter-claim, please see http://www.google.com/dmca.html.

The notice that we received from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and the record companies it represents, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects at http://www.chillingeffects.org. We do this in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Please note that it may take Chilling Effects up to several weeks to post the notice online at the link provided.

The IFPI is a trade association that represents over 1,400 major and independent record companies in the US and internationally who create, manufacture and distribute sound recordings (the "IFPI Represented Companies").

Sincerely,

So in closing I'd like to thank the IFPI for taking the time to file a complaint with Blogger about my shitty little fucking blog to preserve the millions of dollars in revenue that would have been lost in record sales because of 4 people downloading a couple of songs. And I can't forget a big 'FUCK YOU' to censorship!

*END OF UPDATE*

'Cage The Elephant' is an indie rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Their first studio album, 'Cage The Elephant' (very clever) was released back in June of 2008. It didn't garner much acclaim until the summer of 2009 with the release of their single 'Ain't No Rest For The Wicked', helping it to become one of the most popular albums of the year. While I wasn't able to find out whether or not they have any plans for a follow up, one could only assume and hope that with their recent success, a second album is sure to be on the horizon.
