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?"

    C'mon man, his english degree cost 100 grand (all that and no math classes, sweet!) and now he's the commie night manager at Burger King. Let the guy show his L334 MS word skillz for once in his non-academic life.
