Peter Gabriel's Web Server Stolen

Posted by timothy on from the maybe-just-a-disgruntled-fan dept.

miller60 writes "Web servers hosting musician Peter Gabriel's web site have gone missing from their data center. "Our servers were stolen from our ISP's data centre on Sunday night — Monday morning," reads a notice at PeterGabriel.com. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile equipment thefts in the past year, including armed robberies in data centers in Chicago and London. How secure is your data center?"

    because some dumbass saw shiny electronics in a studio and walked off with them.


    No, it was because information wants to be free.

    Besides, as many a person on here will tell you, there was no actual theft of music since it was all just 1's and 0's. Theft of hardware, certainly, but not music since it's not a physical item.

    Damn, we can't attribute this exploit to the operating system. Whatever will Slashdot talk about!?
