MusicBlog shut down by British copyright agency
The IFPI backdoors the webmaster and forces the hosting company to shut the fellow down. Moistworks does GOOD work and he's made his politics very clear on his site. He's moving to a different host but this kind of backwards thinking is never good.
  • Thats irritating. They should at least have contacted the bloke directly, before his ISP. Have you ever had any letters from lawyers over your site, forks?
  • Only one, from Tupac's mama. I took down the offending track and that was that.
  • Tupac's mama? wow, that's... odd. I figured the policy of "it's here for a week or until you tell me to pull it" was reasonable enough (especially considering the rate at which I've found myself buying music after hearing it on blogs).
