UPDATE
Posted on October 27th, 2008 by ekkoWell, they took another post of mine and I can’t figure out why. I no longer believe that this is the work of the RIAA. Someone out there just has it in for me. I can’t figure out who and, of course, Blogger won’t say anything about it because it is impossible to reach anyone at their help desk.
The post did not have a single protected work. It was indie artists, most of whom submitted to my site.
If this post disappears, I’ll really know something is wrong.
I may publish a few things I have already written over the next few days, but other than that, expect my site to be defunct for a few weeks while I figure out what to do next.
And if you are reading this, and you’re the one who is messing with me, please let me know why. I have made every effort to avoid distributing RIAA protected material. If you’re just someone that I offended, I wish you would just tell me. This is ridiculous.

Dude, if I were you, I’d stop blogging. I bet you’re going to sued, big time.

Yeah, this is hitting LOTS of mp3 blogs, so I dont think it’s just someone f’ing with you. I think you should view your surroundings, be careful for a short time what you post and try to get some sort of response out of blogger(good luck..)!

I’m not convnced it’s anything related to copyright. I’d definitely recommend changing your Blogger/Google password if you haven’t already. It may be as simple as that. Some loser may just have cracked it….

This is hitting everyone now. I’ve confirmed that it is the IFPI.
This is the end for the mp3 blogs!

The RIAA is outsourcing their enforcement work to small contractors who get paid by the number of take-down notices they produce. I pretty confident this is the case…
The other culprit these days is the IFPI (think the EU version of the RIAA) doesn’t recognize the blogger sharing policies of their American counterparts. In other words… We receive mp3s for publication from US publicity houses along with press releases and emails asking us to plug the material. We do AND we get sacked for it!
As I mentioned in our email, I have already suffered four of these takedowns this week.

I hope that you don’t give up and you can find out what is going on.
I wish you luck.

[...] Alguns blogueiros reclamam até que arquivos que não são protegidos por direitos autorais -já que muito do que se coloca on-line são faixas de bandas independentes, que liberam sua obra- também estão sendo excluídos. [...]
