Labrador use Piratebay to share music
"Labrador Records is an Swedish independent record label that has been allowing visitors to download a free 68 track MP3 sampler to promote their summer material. However, their servers apparently couldn't cope with the demand and they turned to the power of BitTorrent for help.
They actually asked users to share the music sampler on the Pirate Bay to ease the load on their servers and provide a smooth download experience for all.
From their site:
Well, putting the massive 68-track Labrador Summer Sampler 2007 on our server didn't work quite as smoothly as we'd hoped. I don't know if we overestimated our server or underestimated the need of good music this summer. Either way, our server has been pretty dysfunctional ever since but it's all been taken care of now. Very sorry about this! "
