DIAL 911, 999 OR WHATEVER......HERE'S YET ANOTHER ONE

Got another dmca notice.

This one took 8 days, which is a bit longer than the others which arrived after 24 and 48 hours. Rather disappointingly from a blogging perspective, the act in question isn't one of the old guard who hate modernity....and the post that has been taken down is one of the very few that have been written at TVV in praise of an emerging act.

So ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls....be careful if you're going to rave about The Airborne Toxic Event cos you could be the next one to get the dreaded notice.

Sorry to all of you who took the time to leave behind comments to the posting....they too have gone forever.

Here's a little something for the dmca creeps.

mp3 : The Wannadies - Piss On You

Happy Listening.

Spooky. Just looked at a couple of other music blogs that I regularly read and both of them have a DCMA...

The lawyers must google and then fire off some random notices when they are bored.

Seriously, consider what I mentioned to you in my email and switch over to wordpress

Oh damn. This surprises me because I posted on these guys a couple of times near the end of the year. I'm on Wordpress though so perhaps that is making a difference? Bet that's made you think twice about posting about 'current' bands. I can't remember your exact quote at the beginning of that post, about how you don't often post on newer bands, and I would go back and check it BUT IT'S NOT THERE ANY MORE!

And if you're reading this DMCA people, the links in my post are long dead, so please don't go and remove my content. I said some really nice things about Airborne Toxic Event and YOU SHOULDN'T BE DELETING PEOPLE'S WORDS WITHOUT ASKING and this actually makes people hate the bands rather than believe they're too good and famous and whatnot to be blogged about, thus defeating your stupid narrow minded purpose.

Phew. I feel a little better now.
