Then says sorry
The music industry hit
a new low when a Warner Music called a blogger a "brat" on Twitter.
Norwegian
student Even (18) wrote on Twitter followers that he was miffed about iTunes not
letting him download the newest album from Dave Matthews Band. He said that
he was furious that iTunes is only allowing downloads of the new Dave Matthews
Band album if you live in the US!
Within minutes Terje Pedersen from Warner
Music Norway replied: "Then I suggest you steal it and write about the process
in your stupid brat blog. We don't want you to get upset.". The comment is
being seen as typical of the record companies lack of understanding for social
media and the lack of respect for the punters.
The message about the comment
has got out onto the web and Pedersen has since said sorry. He added that
neither he nor Warner has anything against filesharing technology or new
technology in general.
