 My songs...
|
| For years I had playable MP3s listed on my website, until I received the following in an email from my web-hosting provider in 2007. I have complied to prevent my website from being shut down. | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
I have moved my website to another hosting company since receiving that threat, but to play it safe I am still not sharing music here, and it appears I removed these songs just in time, because a week later I read this story about a woman who was found guilty of sharing music "illegally" and fined $220,000! My music has always been one of the big draws to my website, so I am taking away something that people loved, and after awhile the music search engines will no longer show me having these songs, so I know the number of my visitors will decrease. I am still sharing ringtones, which I believe is still safe because they are only snippets of songs. Thank you RIAA, for improving the quality of our lives. Some (or all) of these songs are cached on SeeqPod and Project Playlist (which make them appear to still be on my website). Search those sites to listen to them. |
