EZTree Shuts Down 497
John3 writes "Easytree.org, a popular Bittorrent tracking site also known as EZT, shut down today after their ISP received threatening letters from attorneys. Unlike sites like Lokitorrent that have been shut down in the past, torrents on EasyTree were usually unreleased live musical performances rather than commercial product. Is a site that shares old Stevie Nicks, Frank Sinatra, and Ian Hunter live shows really that much of a threat to the music industry?"

Downloading doesn't give me the same warm, fuzzy feeling running over babies with a lawnmower does.

Absolutely. These are gateway artists to harder stuff.
It's just a short hop from this music to Toni Tenille, Dean Martin, and Rick Springfield. Think of the children, for God's sake.

Probably the words "border" and "Mexico" as they contain more than four letters.

The RIAA is evil. They want to destoy all that is good. Music is good. So, the RIAA has raped, pillaged, and burned music for years. Now, they're trying to ram it into the ground until it reaches hell and brings the world with it.
The RIAA will never do anything worthwhile or good. It will continue to suck souls out ot Americans until the Information Revolution has come to an end, and either everyone is dead or we've put a stop to their practices.
