An follow-up to Coolfer's post on The Format's use of Linx, a sales-enabling widget created by Snocap: Brooklyn Vegan sent a link to the Wikipedia page for the album Dog Problems that has been updated with news about the album's digital sales:

"On May 19, 2006; an MP3 version of Dog Problems leaked to the internet. In response, The Format immediately made the entire album available digitally for only $7.99, through their online music store. This led to the sale of almost 3,000 digital copies, before it was officially available in stores on July 11."

The band's online music store is actually the download store of the band's label, Nettwerk. The album was also available via a Linx widget on the band's MySpace page.
