"Indie band's master tracks seized by Feds
Death Cab's Walla: Feds took my music
Death Cab's Chris Walla: U.S. Border Agents Took Hard Drive With Master Tracks for Solo Album

The guitarist for indie pop rockers Death Cab for Cutie still expects to release his solo album in January even though federal border agents seized a computer hard drive containing the master tracks.
A courier was headed to Seattle-based Barsuk Records from a studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, when U.S. Border Patrol agents seized the hard drive Sept. 19, Chris Walla said Wednesday.
"I don't know what red flag could possibly have gone up at the border," Walla said in a phone interview from Portland, Ore. "It's so baffling to me."
Walla said he had been in British Columbia working on the album called "Field Manual." Barsuk needed the music to meet its production schedule, and a Hipposonic Studios employee volunteered to drive the mixed songs, on tape, and the original master tracks, on a computer hard drive."

The Federales just wanted to be the first ones to put it on Oink, for the inevitable ratio boost.

is it possible that this is a brilliant marketing ploy? I don't want to question the reality of the situation, but I'd imagine they just significantly boosted record sales from this seemingly inconvenient shenanigan.

He just couldn't meet the deadline in time, so he got a hard drive, tricked some douche into driving it across the border, but called the cops on him saying it was full of kiddy porn or crack or something... Thus buying him plenty of time to complete the album.
I've done some not so severe versions of that at school with assignments, back before they introduced the "if you lose your flash drive its your own damn fault" rule.
