Dammit, I was hoping you'd be able to send me their latest tracks.

The Invisigoth Ethos: Chapter 1: Rock And Roll Is Dead, But It's Our Only Culture

You can both joke, but I'm paranoid right now.

I'll have to check that out on [url]www.mindawn.com[/url]


Edit: Luc - don't be. The guys just trying to act tough. He's just upset his bands suck yet somehow one of their albums found their way into the DU. So he's looking to take advantage.

He seemed like an OK guy at first, but his persistence is getting annoying.

Did you download any of their music? Did you upload any of their music? No?

Then stop worrying. And stop replying.

[QUOTE]I cant find any Invisigoth on Oink, ****.[/QUOTE]
I requested [I]Alcoholocaust[/I] on the daily upload but I don't like my chances :(

ahahaha

You guys are crazy if you're actually scared about this.

Thanks.

There are a lot of people on that list who could get in trouble if he contacted the RIAA, who have lovely lawyers looking to exploit tha sort of thing.

Kinda glad I get so much music legally I don't need to d/l.

Wait, what is going on right now?

No one really has anything to worry about, plain and simple. He said in the letter that he'd get off everyone's case if the list stopped, and the Daily Upload has been terminated.

Some guy from Progrock Records contacted a bunch of us on the DU threatening us to stop or he's going to sue us. Check the DU thread for details and his e-mails.

The president of a small record company has contacted a few of us daily uploaders and threatened with legal action if we do not cease sharing links.

Oh, okay.

He hasn't sent me any emails.

Jeez scared the crap out of me though...and yeah, funny, when I read the story about the woman who got sued to pay 220,000 dollars I was like...better start buying albums again.

So over the past week I've bought a Novembers Doom, a Nightwish, and an Alter Bridge album. It's been fun, but yeah, probably not a good idea to do this any more.

But for those of you who are really freaked out, don't worry--I once found a forum that was uploading a zillion pr0n movies to rapidshare from sites like bangbros per day (yeah yeah I downloaded some too), and all they got was a cease-and-desist order and a rule change, and now all they do is post ten-second clips.

So yeah. Probably nothing will happen. But if something does, god knows the country could use some more white people in jail. :thumb:

I guess that now if people want to start hearing more new metal they'll just have to start listening to my radio show! <_<

I got another e-mail from our friend.

[QUOTE] If the way for you to feel good about what you've been doing is to crank call me, then by all means, go ahead. I'm actually part of a network of about 30 labels that are working together (we don't like the RIAA tactics either, but when you need a big hammer because people aren't listening, they just love to get qualified leads) where we are trying to educate and stop piracy where we can so that the music can continue to be made. Don't be too quick to judge Invisigoth either, NY Times best selling SciFi author Kevin J. Anderson loves them, one of his favorite bands, and he's a big fan of our label as well.[/QUOTE]

Sounds like he doesn't take kindly to our humor. Oh well.

My antivirus also reported a blocked virus as soon as I opened the e-mail... that's never happened before. Better not have been from him.

Who cares if we're poking fun at a band with a really unfortunate name. Given the amount of hits our forums get daily, it's in the groups best interest for a thread to be here, regardless of it's seriousness.

Big Brother is always watching...

sucks to hear about the stomp they put on your trading. Ain't it wierd that you can burn cd's of your buddies computer, but it's illegal o share in other forms.

Thanks Lars, thanks a lot. :lol:

lol I have a few Kevin J. Anderson Star Wars novels lying around at home.

I replied trying to tell him to cool it a bit. I said were just having fun with the situation. I also said since we stopped the DU on his request, to stop harassing me and the rest of the MX members.

Ouch, I am surprised I have not gotten an email, considering I ran the whole thing. But yeah, it's gone, dead, done.

yeah dont worry Luc, i was cool with the guy and agreed to not share anymore and he was understanding. i like the bands that his record label supports so im not too upset about this. i just want december to come so i can go on my hawaii vacation

It seems like the less talking you do to him, the better.

Yeah. Everyone needs to just chill for now and stop worrying and contacting him. I'm afraid any further contact is just going to worsen the situation, despite your intent.

So he's just sitting reading our replies here on the forum now?
Or did you email him

[QUOTE=Jom;15394511]It seems like the less talking you do to him, the better.[/QUOTE]

I think I'll take that advice from now on actually, if he responds again anyway.

[QUOTE=Sponer;15394519]So he's just sitting reading our replies here on the forum now?

I did reply to him, but he didn't reply to my reply when he sent me the 2nd e-mail. My first one basically said I understand and we've stopped. In my second one I told him to read my first one before he over reacts again.

cease and desist and then stop talking to the guy.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15394528]cease and desist and then stop talking to the guy.[/QUOTE]

Done and done. :)


Not to mention did he ever pick on the wrong person, I haven't uploaded anything for the DU in about a year, nor have I downloaded anything in about 4 months or so until just this past week. The posts he must have gotten my e-mail from were my first in the thread. :lol:

So Who Wants To Go Buy Some Albums With Me?
