- AcidBurnz, on 10/19/2008, -1/+75This is why you dont use inept hosts.
- Kisama, on 10/19/2008, -2/+75That's some serious *****.
- adarkmethod, on 10/19/2008, -5/+76holy ***** man, see what you stupid ***** who complacently go along with this ***** have done? yeah, thanks, now we live in a world where you have to prove that you own your content, because its assumed you dont. Way to go douchetards.
- CVL4317, on 10/19/2008, -3/+63how can one rape itself?
- tomas472, on 10/19/2008, -0/+58The hosting company is IX Hosting

See the label's removed site for confirmartion: http://www.quoteunquoterecords.com/ - takamichinaku, on 10/20/2008, -1/+47The host has put its own ads on the website.
- sockpuppets, on 10/20/2008, -1/+42I wore a short skirt, I was asking for it.
- hmunkey, on 10/20/2008, -4/+40***** THE RIAA.
- compgeek, on 10/20/2008, -1/+26wow this is just sad. guy writes his own music and then it gets taken down because he supposedly doesn't own the copyright. if I were him I'd be suing the webhost for breach of contract. they pulled down his site illegally even after he told them the tracks were songs he'd written
- kentifer, on 10/20/2008, -0/+23I had a site at IX hosting.
Total crap. It was always slow as *****. - inactive, on 10/19/2008, -6/+28Either the hosting company is ran by retards, or the RIAA has been doing some carpet bombing again.
- CommanderEFG, on 10/20/2008, -1/+21Can't wait to hear about a company suing itself for some reason, mark my words it will happen one day in the future
- JMilton, on 10/20/2008, -0/+18How the ***** can they do that?
- AlanFang, on 10/19/2008, -2/+19Care to tell the rest of us how the host is so we can avoid/berate them?
- sockpuppets, on 10/20/2008, -3/+19This is why I only deliver my music on 8-track via carrier pigeon.
- arraz, on 10/20/2008, -0/+14Switch to a host that is known to support their customers. There's no reason to stay with the ignorant host.
Everyone should contact the host and complain. A couple thousand emails should get their attention, or even better phone calls.
Phone: 1-800-385-0450. - scottauth, on 10/20/2008, -0/+14Jeff and Quote Unquote Records are good people. Be sure to check out Bomb the Music Industry and download their records when the website gets back on its feet.

- jgzman, on 10/20/2008, -0/+13Already has. Look up Fox vs the Simpsons.
- maz2331, on 10/20/2008, -0/+11Repeat after me:
Tortuous Interference
Breach of Contract
All kinds of other charges in the Federal lawsuit. These bozos are gonna get pwned. - inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+10This wasn't a company, nor does it have anything to do with MPAA/RIAA, but a laweer has recently sued himself - "Alton attorney accidentally sues himself" - http://madisonrecord.com/news/contentview.asp?c=14 ...
- ThatGeek, on 10/20/2008, -0/+10We need to find his content. This bull ***** cant continue. We really have to find his stuff so we can prove that it is his.
- cyberkode, on 10/20/2008, -0/+10Jeff is a friend of mine and a lot of my friends are on his label. This really sucks ass to have this happen to someone who is trying to do something totally original and good natured.
- ernasty10050, on 10/20/2008, -0/+9In a vaguely similar situation, I repeatedly tried uploading a song I wrote and performed on violin, to Myspace. I was banned after my third attempt because they claimed each time (within 5 minutes of uploading) the song was not my own.
- ProfessorRamrod, on 10/20/2008, -2/+10A really large broom
- insomniac8400, on 10/20/2008, -1/+9Time to get a lawyer. Clearly they immediately erased the data and are covering their ass by saying the hard drive died mysteriously after they took the site down. And they either need to identify who sent a bogus take down notice or need to be fined heavily if they did this in some kid of act of self policing.
- adarkmethod, on 10/20/2008, -0/+8stop supporting anything put out by the RIAA with your money, then they'll have to cut back on the lobbying, then we can go back to reasonable common sense
- glasnt, on 10/20/2008, -0/+8I think that thumbnail is the most widely used thumbnail in Digg.
- ScottoGato, on 10/20/2008, -0/+7You can check out what their site used to look like using TheWayBackMachine:

- JammoBlammo, on 10/20/2008, -1/+8How are you not a grammar Nazi?
- dannyboy3020, on 10/20/2008, -3/+9Maybe you should think about directing your anger towards the people who actually shut them down.
What can we do? Serious question here, I am not trying to be a jackass. What can we do? - TSK05, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6$4.95/month
Features*
Unlimited Domains
Unlimited Data Transfer
Unlimited Web Space
You get what you pay for. In this case, next to nothing. - nesagwa, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6Sigh.
- PopcornDave, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5The biggest question is: who paid the attorney's fees upon loss?
/s - CVL4317, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5if the victim is willing, it's not rape...
- dandonia, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5We can take a stand, everyone get ready to burn their hard drives.... wait a minute.
- TSK05, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Generally it's not the hosts obligation to find out. If a host gets a valid DMCA request, they have to take the website down and wait for proof that it wasn't a violation of DMCA. However, it seems impossible for this company to have received a valid DMCA because only this label or someone representing them could have written it.
Anyway, that's what you get for going with a $5/month for unlimited space/bandwidth provider. - Genma, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate.
- centran, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Did they just offer downloads on this site or was there an internet radio site being hosting there? If it is just downloads then they shouldn't have a problem. However, if it is internet radio then there are some retarded laws in the way. You actually can't play your own music on the internet or radio without paying fees. Now those fees can be waived if the copyright holder sends the proper documents to whatever branch of the RIAA controls these stupid rules.
On a similar note, original music holders also cannot play their own songs in commercial establishments becuase of similar laws but can be bypassed in the same manner as above.
***** the RIAA! - ZephSeraphim, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Do some research before you shoot your mouth off. Quote Unquote Records is an indie label that puts out stuff for a few bands for no profit; they run entirely off of donations and sales at shows. Everything they put out was free on their site until it went under. Some of the most kick-ass, ethical music practices I've ever had the opportunity to be a part of.
- AlienMushroom, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5choose a hand to be charged.
- 42Vindictive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Holy annoying auto-playing high-res high-volume promo movie batman!
- Jedakiah, on 10/20/2008, -7/+11This should be posted to 4chan that way an orchestrated DOS attack will be performed against IX Hosting.
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -1/+5Too risky man.
I like to encode all my music in binary using smoke signals when delivering music. - dandonia, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4split personality, ghost hands, travel back from the future and kaboom baby.
- Lunarsight, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4Go here:

Select "Chat" as the option, and choose the Sales option. Rationally explain to them that this doesn't make their hosting service look that good. - TSK05, on 10/20/2008, -2/+5A host can pull a site down at any time without notice - it'll be in their terms.
- darkmagician777, on 10/20/2008, -3/+6Only solution - trash your host provider !!!!! Thats seriously stupidity. Talk about buying into the system. You cant even hold a copyright of your own music? First one to the copyright office wins? It really goes to show that nothing digital is sacred and you are being watched by everyone. So how does the host provider determine the infringement? What programs are they running to find all this out?
- Lunarsight, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3It's not past tense, since it's still run by them. It's present tense, passive voice: "is run".
I honestly don't care. I can overlook the original commenter's grammar snafu, and think the comment itself is fairly accurate. -
