I want to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to everyone who's signed, shared, supported, and pledged to this campaign to get our favorite bassist restored to his rightful place.

I don't know Mr. Ellefson, nor have I ever met him, but it's not right to give your brother in arms the bum's rush over something that's ultimately proven to be nothing more than a lapse in judgment. I don't want to make excuses for the man, but it seems to me the the last 18 months have been hard on everyone.

That said, there are those out there who just aren't willing to give Jr the benefit of the doubt. If you guys are looking for further concrete steps to take, please report the following Twitter account, as it's illegally sharing the stolen videos:
