Default Eyeball Records

...sucks the c0ck.

IndieHQ [Eyeball Records brings down music blog/pirating site, Kinixtion]


Anyway it's got me think that musicbanter is sharing based not greediness or laziness but out of like love you know. And with new admin and shit like this I don't know if that will always be. I honestly think that sharing promotes buying. I wouldn't listen to 99% of what I listen to if it wasn't for stealing.

No. They can still find out. All it takes is for one label to run over my site and it's gone. I took a demo off of it today because a band asked me.

The upload sites don't contact the music industry that people are using their site illegally. More than likely because if they contacted them then they'd be shut down and would cease to make money. So the upload sites check uploads that get an extremely high number of hits [that seems to just be just sendspace that does a hit thing everyone else does the latter] or linked from a certain area a lot and delete them to save their own ass.

What if we just pm the uploads? They can't check those.

Yea mailing lists are pretty safe.

Upload sites don't keep a record of who downloads from them, right? I mean I figure they need as much server space as they can get.

Yeah I PMed urban about this, they give you time to take down the uploads though. But if everyone could start PMing links that'd be better, I know live shows and sessions are usually legally, the RIAA shut down elliottsmithbsides but the live album stayed up.

I could restart the mailing list, MX does it.

Twango - Media Sharing: Photos, Video, Audio and More

I think this site allows groups to open a channel (it can be private ie; members on invitation only, or public), where files can be uploaded and shared between members of that group.

e.g; MusicBanter Channel (if one was made) then you can access the channel by entering an e-mail address...not too sure how it works, but it may be worth checking out further.

I just have the feeling that if the admin were confronted that this place would be wiped clean or abandoned. It would be pretty difficult to find all the upload links on this place.

We'd just have to delete the sharing threads, search on the function megaupload, sendspace, mediafire, etc and have members report them if they see them.

And whether or not we delete them I think we should start PMing links more and get the email list back up.
