Album pulled from UK outlets

Does anyone know why the new album has been pulled from all UK outlets including amazon.co.uk. My local HMV had 18 copies but were unable to sell any "for legal reasons." Also a statement next to the album pic on Amazon says 'we do not know if or when this product will be available'. What is going on?

????
I got my bol.com copy as well as my US copy (thanks, you know who you are!).
What legal trouble could there be?
(C) issues? Fees? Regulations?
Please enlighten us, you knowledgable people!
