I hope the uploaders and users will switch to the same site so that the comunity stays together.

Thanks to everyone, discovered a lot of good music here.
There's no site to switch to. I've looked. Nothing as strict on quality, nor as small of a NAB list. Friends for years are going to lose touch and everything here will be lost to time. A hugely important part of my life and those of many tapers/uploaders will be lost forever. Thousands of people are now essentially homeless
May those in charge of this decision die slowly and painfully and burn in Hell forever after

To enforce copyright laws is to prevent people from making peaceful use of the information they possess. If one has acquired the information legitimately it is a violation of freedom of speech to prevent one from using it, reproducing it, trading it. Information is a universal, existing in other people's minds and other people's property, and over these the originator has no legitimate sovereignty. Copyright laws extort from the public a reward enormously in excess of the labor measure of an entertainers' services, making them, in essence, discriminatory against anyone paid a single time for a job. The only way there will ever be balance is when we are either all paid ad infinitum for work we did years ago, or when they are not. Until then I will fight for the freedom of information by challenging copyright law every chance I get. Join the Pirate Party and help make a difference.
