Toh Kay has confirmed that “The Hand That Thieves,” his acoustic companion album to the upcoming Streetlight Manifesto album “The Hands That Thieve,” has been pulled by Victory Records from digital outlets like Amazon and Itunes.
“@tohkay: Thanks @victoryrecords & your lawyer for removing my record from Amazon. Heaven forbid anyone but you make a living off of my music. Asshats.”
This comes far from unexpected, as last week Victory claimed copyright infringement against Toh Kay for the use of his own song in a music video.
“The Hands That Thieve” will be released April 30th via Victory and Pentimento Music Company; the acoustic version was to be a Pentimento special. Streetlight continues to ask fans to boycott Victory and support the band directly by purchasing the album through their own website. Click here for those pre-orders.
