Legal Notice & Disclaimers
Last updated: July 2026. Please read this page before relying on, quoting, or getting angry about anything published on thethreads.ca.
1. Independent publication — no affiliation
The Threads (thethreads.ca) is an independent editorial publication. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to any musician, band, band member, estate, manager, record label, publisher, or other rights holder discussed on this site. All band names, trademarks, and trade names referenced belong to their respective owners and are used solely for the purpose of identification, commentary, criticism, and news reporting.
In particular, this website is not associated with The Threads, the Edmonton band. The operator of this site has no association, affiliation, or contact with that band in any way. Inquiries about that band should be directed to the band's own Facebook page.
2. Editorial nature of content
This site publishes historical commentary, criticism, review, and documentary-style reporting on matters of public record and public interest concerning well-known public figures and commercial entities. Content is drawn from widely published sources including books, autobiographies, court filings and judgments, contemporaneous news reporting, and on-the-record interviews. Section headings, summaries, and framing (including terms such as "case file," "verdict," "charge," and "betrayal") are editorial devices used for narrative style; they are expressions of opinion and characterization, not assertions of criminal conduct or legal findings unless a legal proceeding is explicitly described as such.
3. Accuracy and corrections
We make good-faith efforts to ensure factual accuracy. Music history, however, is contested terrain: participants' accounts frequently conflict, and details reported at the time are sometimes revised decades later. Where significant disputes exist, we attempt to note them or omit the claim. If you believe any statement on this site is materially inaccurate, please contact us via the contact page with supporting sources. We will review promptly and correct, clarify, or remove content where warranted. This corrections process is offered in good faith and does not constitute an admission regarding any content.
4. No professional advice
Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, or professional advice of any kind. It is history and commentary, offered for information and entertainment.
