Warner Music, in contrast, dismissed the group's contentions as a ploy and wrote a statement "We value our relationship with Linkin Park, and we are proud of our work together since signing the band as a developing artist in 1999. While Linkin Park's talent is without question, the band's management is using fictitious numbers and making baseless charges and inflammatory threats in what is clearly a negotiating tactic." Linkin Park, who still having a four-album commitment left to go on its current contract, was not available for comment.
