Am I totally paranoid for thinking that this sounds shady, particularly given the July deadline? It just seems like an awfully easy way to open your computer up to scanning/monitoring by the FBI.

How many of you have, er, complied?
well my experience has been that you can't find anything at all online anymore, no mediafire, no nothin'. so I guess I am "complying" but somewhat involuntarily. I'm sure there's some private trackers that still torrent, but I'm not motivated enough for that. End of an era, etc.

Film scores are still obtainable on private blogs. That fandom is hyper-dedicated (reupping 100s of MU links to MF, etc). Everything else, yeah, pretty gone.

Mediafire links on blog and such are still active but, yes, I've noticed the gradual extinction.

I got two notices on my mediafire account. One is for a track which uses samples from Lou Reed's "New York Telephone Conversation" alongside telephone sounds in a sort of music concrete sound collage. The other is a rip I made of Zacherle's "Monster Mash" LP. I've even gotten some notices on mediafire & youtube about song covers. My solution is that I'm going to just have to go through and permanently delete all covers. Let's hear it for the RIAA for protecting musicians. RIP the folk tradition.

huh that's wild re: samples from Lou Reed's "New York Telephone Conversation" ... wonder how long it is til i get notices about the various bootleggy type things i post on mediafire.
― tylerw, Saturday, 21 April 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
would be great if because of the whole RIAA thing, some artists who really don't care about live recordings circulating would give the go-ahead to archive.org or somesuch.

I had a remix of a Nicki Minaj track I did taken down by soundcloud. I put it up on mediafire and haven't had any problem, although that may be due to retitling it.

Some publicists send out tons of stuff very much meant to be freely shared, downloaded, embedded etc. etc.--will our new Overlords grok this?

I was pretty excited to hear Vladimir Nabokov reading "Lolita" on Doom & Gloom From the Tomb today but apparently the RIAA got to the file first. :-(
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 23 April 2012 17:00 (twelve years ago) link
whoooa, crazy. how does that work, someone reported it? an out of print LP of vladimir nabokov? wacky. well, here it is (mp3s still work): http://www.dinosaurgardens.com/archives/245

i got this email about a youtube video of a Prince tribute band. Your video "Purple Veins - I Wanna Be Your Lover @ High Noon Saloon", may have content that is owned or licensed by UMPG Publishing, but it’s still available on YouTube! In some cases, it may be blocked, or ads may appear next to it.

oh, i guess this is what it means:
Your video is blocked in these locations:United States
Eventually the RIAA is going to start taking down blogs that go into too much detail when describing music with the written word.

my only fear is that there's nothing the RIAA could do to marginalize itself enough to stop doing these things
― Mordy, Monday, 23 April 2012 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
I keep trying to think of an analogy for another industry being so ridiculous about going after people who use their content and the only real one I can think of is like book publishers suddenly deciding to shut down book review blogs that reproduce (credited) quotes fromt he book itself.

rip blogs indeed! thx for the kind words. fun while it lasted -- thought that it might be able to fly under the radar since most everything there is stuff you can't buy anywhere. but that's not how this stuff works, is it? it'd be kinda fun to do some sort of bootleg club, don't know how it would work though!
― tylerw, Monday, 23 April 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
fuck :(
RIP...tyler i really really loved your blog, so much awesome music over the past couple years, you really did a great job with it.

thanks, man. wonder if sites like dime a dozen will be shuttered too? is that a different thing?
― tylerw, Monday, 23 April 2012 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
the thing is, the people who use & enjoy music sharing blogs collectively have more money, and therefore theoretically more power, than the labels who fund the RIAA. if people were pretty intense about putting their money where their mouth is on this stuff it'd be a wildly diff. game imo

such a shame tho.

― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
thanks. and re-stating what I said above, it'd be great if the killing off of music blogs like mine got some artists to consider signing off on archive.org (like certain people we know). i know that a lot of bands/performers really don't care about live shows and so forth trading hands amongst fans.
― tylerw, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
& anyway, I'll keep the blog going, just won't be uploading stuff for the time being. maybe there'll be some kind of new angle we haven't thought of yet?
― tylerw, Monday, 23 April 2012 20:05 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry to hear about the mediafire takedown, tylerw. I've always felt that blogs like yours and Mutant Sounds were almost like a public service, preserving music that otherwise would be lost.
I guess there's no more Feelies, Television, or Neil Young bootlegs for me... sigh...
