He could have used the fact that he was mislead by spam as an additional point to attack piracy. Changing his tune to attack the deceptive nature of the ads while admitting he was fooled could have painted him as someone capable of learning as well as further demonized the unauthorized file sharing he wants to attack.<br /><br />In the end he just looks like a chump who can't tell spam from actual data and can't learn from his own mistakes. An inability to learn is not a trait one wants in a manager.Matthew Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231470957925550626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-30546894838477186822011-04-05T12:50:19.569-05:002011-04-05T12:50:19.569-05:00If Tilbury was as smart as he seems to think he is...If Tilbury was as smart as he seems to think he is, he would never have alienated the new fans redirected to the FB page of One Soul Thrust (sent by a link from the Torrentfreak article, no less) by both deleting ALL comments (including those of support) and completely locking down the page to prevent new comments. That is an obvious PR no-no. Even I'd have had enough internet savvy to use the massive amount of traffic generated by that article to substantially (by which I mean possible double or triple) increase their fanbase and exposure to new markets. Instead, he seems to be too ego-driven to admit his mistake and USE the situation to his advantage. IMHO, he's completely incompetent, and has damaged that poor band, possibly beyond repair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-34332582909048787742011-04-04T21:18:48.895-05:002011-04-04T21:18:48.895-05:00Alternatively Cameron could be a touch smarter tha...Alternatively Cameron could be a touch smarter than people were giving him credit for, and that he was using the inflated numbers to try and secure the bands signing with a major label such as Warner.<br /><br />Whether it was that, or simply trying to create publicity (goog or bad)<br /><br />I think what ever the marketing idea he had, has now back fired however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-20478435287686817072011-04-04T12:50:03.437-05:002011-04-04T12:50:03.437-05:00What piracy?
