It appears that both Torrent Freak and BBR have fallen for this. I am sure that BuckCherry and their management appreciate the free publicity.
Fallen for what, broadband/tech related news?

So, if a band you liked, released a press statement that they were mad at pirates, and was stupid enough to say that those downloading the song weren't their "fans", that would make you want to buy the new album more?

If any band I liked did that crap, I would make sure they never saw a penny of mine until they did something I approved of to make up for it.

Yeah, I'm only one person, but if enough people stop buying things in response to publicity stunts, or better yet spend even less in response to them, they will stop doing them.
A band I liked once did that. I no longer listen to them and I helped them to lose sales - I sold my collection of their CDs to a used CD shop. You might have heard of them, they go by Metallica.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20885575 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:26:13 EDT Re: Hook, Line, and Sinker http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20883132 james : So, if a band you liked, released a press statement that they were mad at pirates, and was stupid enough to say that those downloading the song weren't their "fans", that would make you want to buy the new album more?

Streisand Effect. Instead of something that someone wanting
to ban gets more widespread, coverage of their cheap
publicity stunt ought to completely disappear from the Web.

This means torrents, too. 0 seeds and 0 peers and no
web coverage, and everyone will either ignore them or
say "Buckcherry who?"

Do you have information to the contrary or are you just not buying it?
