All The Motley Hype Over a Tour?

(antiMusic) Yesterday we posted part of a Blabbermouth story dealing with a rumor of what Motley Crue's history changing announcement on April 15th might be. The rumor dealt with a rumored tour. Today we received the following message from their management/record company 10th Street Entertainment:

Recently, rumors regarding the April 15 announcement have leaked onto the internet. These rumors contain information that is blatantly false and completely unfounded. THIS FALSE CONTENT IS TO BE REMOVED FROM YOUR SITE IMMEDIATELY. Any false rumors which are not removed are subject to potential future litigation.

Our first thought is to ask if any First Amendment lawyers want to take a shot at this? The Blabbermouth story we quoted from clearly labeled this rumor as a rumor and later said they are based on unconfirmed reports. Had they sent out a message simply saying that the rumors were not true and asked us to correct the story, we would have no problem with that. But when they start threatening litigation is where we have an issue. As a result of this we will no longer cover 10th Street artists including Blondie, Buckcherry, Debbie Harry, DJ Ashba, Drowning Pool, Everclear, Hanson, Jonny Lives!, Marion Raven, Meat Loaf, Motley Crue, Papa Roach, Royal Underground, Sixx: AM, or The Exies. (We may make an exception if one of their artists overdoses or catches on fire from smoking while applying their hairspray.) We hate to boycott any artists due to the actions of their label or management, but to be threatened with litigation for covering them and reporting rumors clearly labeled as rumors, it's just not worth it. Besides there are plenty of more current artists to cover. So for the record we are thru with the Crue.
