gabba.net survives but the AMP section gone - hopefully just temporary. would people still hit it often if there were no downloads on offer but nick K and JK just kept recommending great tracks (that could then be found on slsk or wherever)? i would!

>> The BPI complained to our hosts a couple of weeks ago, so we had no choice but to shut it down straight away, we'll looking into ways of carrying on legally, or having a membership system, or just listing filenames..

hopefully we should be up again next week in a different form, I'll be sure to post to ILM as soon as anything happens..

UKGMusic has also closed down, presumably for similar reasons.

but jk, if the BPI only complained about certain tracks, as they did with me, then couldn't you have just removed the cited material and carried on as normal? (perhaps uploading files as .zip)

or did the webhosts insist you remove it all completely?

sorry, ignore this if you'd rather not discuss it on a public msg board

Gabba will be back in a few weeks, it's being revamped. You'll probably get a prompt when it goes live.

most common reason for not being registered = not suggesting a password, or writing the wrong email address.
