A question that has been brought up with no answer whatsoever is, why is
warp shutting down a small mp3 site with mostly obscure stuff, while the
aphex site is running strong distributing every major aphex release in
full?
Mr. Eden has said all he will say about the subject (and I don't blame
him), so allow me to take a guess.
warp is in the UK, and the aphex site is in a completely different country
( *.sk = scandinavia?? ). It is pretty difficult to puruse legal action
internationally, or so I've heard. The easiest thing for warp to do would
be to inform the ISP that there is illegal things going on, and the ISP
will shut it down.
However, someone mentioned earlier that chch works at eurotel.sk, so I can
imagine a conversation like this:
Warp: Your site is bad. Shut it down or we will contact your ISP.
chch: That's funny. I *am* my ISP. Go away.
Then again, there's always the upstream provider to complain to, and then
international legal stuff, but maybe warp just doens't care to go through
all that.
Sorry I had to drag this thread out even more.....the worst part is I'm a
lurker.
THE ABOVE IS ONLY MY HUMBLE OPINION AND HAS NO BASIS IN FACT. NO FLAMES,
PLEASE.
