Fucking Cyber Nazis

Not sure how long it will take to resolve, but my access via web, ftp, etc.. are deactivated


For those curious, the song was "The Tide Is High" by Blondie. I posted that on a beach compilation I put together like over three years ago!

Yeah. I already did that.

It's really not that big of deal. I just thought it more funny than anything else that of all the shit I have on my site that I've posted over the years, that that one particular song was singled out

Silliness.

Re: My Site Got Shut Down
I know how you feel, I not only had my site shut down but every single file on my servers /ftp was deleted without me being granted access to back it up. One day was told ftp was down for a friend. next thign i know is that i no longer have any of my forums, sites, etc etc. so it sucks. good luck.

"I am contacting you on behalf of the International Federation of the Pornographic Industry (IFPI) and its member record companies."

Re: My Site Got Shut Down
I thought it was scam at first. But my shit was actually shut down.

I had to fill in a promise letter that I would take the material in question down.

I did that and voila! My site was accessible again via web and ftp.

Big brother is a bitch
