Regarding the March Press Release by Nuclear Blast Records that accused a well known jouranlist of copyright infingment, they have now released a further statement regarding the incident.
"We have written in a press statement dated 15 March 2007 that the source
of the illegal download files of the Dimmu Borgir album "In Sorte Diaboli"
was Mr Luca Pessina, a journalist with Metal Hammer Italy and
Metalitalia.com. That statement gave the impression that Mr Pessina was
responsible for releasing those files to the internet. We now accept that
this is not the case. Mr Pessina has made it explicitly clear that he did
not use the files and he did not release them in any way. An investigation
by Nuclear Blast has shown that Mr Pessina did not himself download any of
the files from In Sorte Diaboli. It has not been possible to determine who
was responsible for uploading the files for illegal download. Nuclear
Blast has, therefore, now definitely decided to refrain from any legal
action against Mr Pessina and regrets any distress or harm caused to Mr
Pessina and his reputation as the result of any misunderstandings of our
previous statement."
