Record Label Infringes Own Copyright, Site Pulled

Posted by kdawson on from the wonder-who-filed-the-complaint dept.

AnonCow sends in a peculiar story from TorrentFreak, which describes the plight of a free-download music site that has been summarily evicted from the Internet for violating its own copyright. The problem seems to revolve around the host's insistence that proof of copyright be snail-mailed to them. Kind of difficult when your copyright takes the form of a Creative Commons license that cannot be verified unless its site is up. "The website of an Internet-based record label which offers completely free music downloads has been taken down by its host for copyright infringement, even though it only offers its own music. Quote Unquote Records calls itself 'The First Ever Donation Based Record Label,' but is currently homeless after its host pulled the plug."

    Georgie Bush's post-presidency company has fucked up already! Georoge, I don't think the music industry is your cup of scotch.

    How dare you say anything against IX Web Hosting! Their gratuitous use of US flags, means they're true patriots! You should be buying hosting with them. Unless you're a foreigner of course, but then all foreigners are terrorists, and we don't need their stinkin' French money.

    Plus, I know Erika, and she's a McCAIN supporter. Which means she's a real AMERRICAN! Not like them stinkin' European-loving Obama supporters!
