Therefore, acting on such, a global message was made to users >not to share the artist's material, and a notice was made upon entering chat >rooms of the same. > >Unfortunately, this was not satisfactory, and the artist went on to file a >complaint against Verio - Soulseek's server host, stating DMCA Copywrite >Infringement. Verio, in return did not conduct a formal inquiry into the >situation. Rather, they acted rather quickly, requiring the server, and site >to be pulled. Thus, there was no warning that such was going to take place. >This not only applied to the users of Soulseek, but to Nir himself. On >sudden notice, he was required to seek out a new host for the server. >It is important to note that Soulseek can not and will not condone any >actions towards the artist that may cause her or her affiliated label's >harm. Such actions would include defaming emails, defacing, or otherwise >damaging her website or the site of her affiliates, and other further >actions which may be damaging. Such actions will simply result in further >problems for the network, as the artist will direct complaints towards >Soulseek itself. Those wishing to show their support for Soulseek will best >do so by simply NOT sharing any files by this artist. The files in question >include: > >1.Free Your Mind, Megan's epic mix. > >2.Free Your Mind, Sapphirecut's Original mix > >3.Action-Reaction by Sapphirecut (in any form) > >4.Any music that has Sapphirecut on it except the Illustrious track "I'd Say >Yes", which is a remix.
