I'm sure you've all heard by now about the MU fallout. I thought that something like this would eventually happen. I'm surprised it took this long. I thought that MU or one of the other similar services would go down in 2008 or 2009. No, I never publicly posted those thoughts. It was something I thought to myself and mentioned during private conversations.
About half of our posts are no longer active because of the demise of MU and also because some of the other hosting or cloud services are closing up shop or disabling sharing in the wake of the MU takedown.
For my posts, they may go back up, but it will take some time. DrEyescope says he will re-up his stuff sometime soon. We may want to wait a while until things cool off.
For now, we plan to stick around and there will still be new posts. Some words of advice I would offer are to download as much as you can and what is still available. You just never know.
Good night or good day wherever you are.

ReplyDeleteYou're a rare breed. Throngs of bloggers are hopping mad or martyring themselves over dead links. Your response is EXACTLY what people need; nothing more and nothing less than the situation at hand.
ReplyDeleteRespect and thanks for your sharing. Calmness will always win over legal terrorism, it just takes time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the site and all your work. This blog has been integral to my attempt to become at least conversant in modern music. I've purchased tons of CDs, mp3s, etc. based on items I've been able to hear after downloading here.
ReplyDeletecalm, cool and collected ... I like your attitude as much as your many contributions to my musical education
ReplyDeleteI would actually have thought that RS given their exposure would have been more at risk, but maybe they were not as big of a target as K. Dotcom
(the new hosts are great at least for now)
thanks
