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.

    Now, in case The Pirate Bay cowers (doubtful), there's the file hash for the swarm. So if TPB is culpable for providing file hash data , who else is? /. Me?

    Guess when you're 56 million in the trick bag, publish a shitty no talent album, where the only business that makes money for you is dependant upon people paying $200 for tennis shoes, you point fingers on anyone you can.

      My guess... filing for protection or rehab.
