Kanye West Is Reportedly Considering Legal Action Against the Pirate Bay

Posted by timothy on from the 53-million-in-the-hole dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Kanye West apparently has a new mission: to sue The Pirate Bay. Last weekend, West announced that his new album, The Life of Pablo, would be sold exclusively as a download from his website and the artist-driven streaming music service Tidal. The news sent Tidal to No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store, so West pulled the album from his site and announced it wouldn't be released on other streaming services. The Internet responded by pirating his album in droves.

  1. Not gonna diss his music by camg188 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I don't like Mr. West's attitude and I couldn't name one of his songs but I not going to comment on how good or bad his music is. That's a matter of taste. It makes as much sense as ranting about different flavors of ice cream.
    Guess what? Different people like different kinds of music and may be different from what you like. Get over it.
