Morrissey's war with Harvest started when he took to his blog to air his grievances with the way Harvest promoted - or failed to - his latest album World Peace Is None Of Your Business. He then claimed he was dropped by the label when he apparently wasn't, which acted as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

After his label dropped him, he went on another tirade on his blog, lamenting that Harvest didn't let him make any videos for his recent album and becoming paranoid that the album would eventually be pulled from shelves, which it since has been, at least digitally.
