Evenin' all, and may I take the hopportunity to wish you all a very 'appy new year. It may seem some time since we prosecuted our first case, but hunfortunately the wheels of justice grind hexceedingly slowly, and so we 'ave only managed recently to secure our second prosecution. It is, 'owever, what one might term a “big fish”, or in this case, three big fishes.
It also hunderscores and 'ighlights the point that we here at SCAM 'ave been trying to get hacross to the criminal fraternity within the music business, and that is that time is no barrier to crime. What other divisions class as “cold cases”, we 'ere at the Serious Crimes Against Music Task Force merely consider “on the back burner,” so to speak, rather like the hunfortunate shepherd's pie my good lady wife asked me to keep an eye on last Sunday, ho ho, bit of police 'umour there.
But to return to the matter at 'and, let me just re-hiterate my warnin' to those of you out there who think you're safe because so much time 'as passed since you perpetrated your 'enious deeds. You are not. If you 'ave commited a crime hagainst music you
will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Neither your money nor your hinfluential friends in 'igh places will save you from a jail cell. Let the 'eadlines below speak for themselves, and be warned, more harrests will most certainly follow, in the fullness of time.
