EZTree Shuts Down

Posted by timothy on from the under-pressure dept.

John3 writes "Easytree.org, a popular Bittorrent tracking site also known as EZT, shut down today after their ISP received threatening letters from attorneys. Unlike sites like Lokitorrent that have been shut down in the past, torrents on EasyTree were usually unreleased live musical performances rather than commercial product. Is a site that shares old Stevie Nicks, Frank Sinatra, and Ian Hunter live shows really that much of a threat to the music industry?"

    ...but a site that offers Stevie Nicks videos for download should be shut down on general principle.

    Unfortunately, the only way you could think most of those bands were any good would be to smoke something that's currently *illegal* in the US.

    Fucking hippie jam bands.
