It started to get super political and they didn’t want to deal with that or have to take a ton of time cleaning up the comment section. I get it. I, too, miss the discussions on there but wow, about 6months before they killed them off it was a disaster.

Makes me wonder how much of this was due to IA having the federal deposit label now. That had to have chopped the lawsuit in half as they can legally hold all of that music. The confidential part speaks volumes.

This seems like what all the rights holders actually want, the archive. IA did the work for them. Now they can sue the shit out of them AND take the archive. Win win for the corpo clowns.

I’m doing my tiny part. I have all of their game sections backed up on my NAS here along with an off site cold storage solution.
