To Whom it May Concern at RICO Management, We hope this message finds you well. We’re writing as dedicated fans of Sleep Token and as supporters of their unique artistry. We want to express our concerns regarding the recent aggressive reporting of fan-created content, particularly around cosplayers, fan art, and other non-commercial expressions of appreciation for the band. While we fully understand and support the need to protect intellectual property, it seems that the overuse of reporting on these fan works could have unintended negative consequences. Many fans who create these works are not seeking any financial gain, but are instead engaging in creative expression and spreading the love for Sleep Token. These acts of fandom help build the band’s identity, expand their reach, and create a stronger sense of community among their audience. The removal of fan art, cosplays, and other forms of fan expression risks alienating the very people who have been most instrumental in promoting and supporting Sleep Token. Instead of fostering goodwill and support, this aggressive enforcement might inadvertently harm the band’s long-term relationship with its fanbase, especially since many of these fans are not attempting to profit off of the band’s work, but are instead acting as ambassadors for it. Rather than reporting or removing these fan creations, we would encourage RICO Management to consider a more nuanced approach that balances intellectual property protection with a recognition of the value of fan engagement. Fans should be encouraged, not discouraged, from sharing their love for Sleep Token. This will not only protect the band’s interests but will also help ensure that Sleep Token remains a vibrant, community-driven entity for years to come. We trust that RICO Management will carefully consider the potential long-term effects of this approach on both the band and its fans. The impact of these decisions will certainly extend far beyond the immediate legal considerations, affecting the very essence of what makes Sleep Token special to its supporters. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We hope that RICO Management can find a way to support both the band’s intellectual property rights and its devoted fanbase.  ⚔️GLORY TO THE LEGION⚔️  (Originally written by Courtney Martin) (Cover photo made by FreeTheFanArt)
