"2007-10-26 - United we stand, divided we fall? -
Whoa, so much happening lately: our CTO (Chief Technical Officer is still missing since September), Oink went down recently and VIPmusic was mentioned in the article at billboard.com as in "the IFPI's cross-hairs". Due to the fact that our CTO is still out of reach (more about our fears in the corresponding thread) we might suspend the operations. There are few things that I'd like to make clear: server HDD's are encrypted with AES and are locked out (only our CTO had access to the server because of security concerns) that is why user database would not be accessible to any third parties. Also unused donations will be sent to EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) which is fighting for free speech rights on the internet."

What the hell is happening to bit-torrent music trackers?

It seems that the hunt on them has begun, and everybody is scared to shit.

Damn those bastards!

It seems that they'll catch them were ever they are. But yah, they could move the server to Barbados or whatever.

It's moreso that they can't find the coder, they don't know what happened.

They can't do much to the site since the guy is not around.
