Edit: Update
Despite numerous conversations and offering many rational suggestions Mediafire has shown nothing but a stalwart attitude, based on 3 complaints, all of them posted with no knowledge or intention of them being illegal on my part. Despite this pitiful number of complaints, which over thousands of post amounts to virtually nothing. Apart from the obvious, its not clear why they and many other similar companies have started acting in this, at best childish / at worst, evil manner.
Looking more deeply its clear this comes from such mental poisons as greed, arrogance and selfishness...mostly greed.
This site started as a place for fans to download and enjoy re-mastered concerts of Sigur Rós.
It started to include other artist's music after I asked the wonderful Sam Lee (The Tumbled Sea) if I could offer a few tracks to people from his self titled first album as the beauty of his music moved me very much and as such I wanted to share this beauty with others. This attitude i thought a good way to give something back to the Artists by promoting what I thought was heart moving music. It was going well, with over 5000,000 hits until a company called the IFPI reported a live concert link of 'A Winged Victory for the Sullen' to Mediafire.
Mediafire, where then driven by my other 3 reports from previous years to blanket ban my account with no chance for defense or discussion. Not what you might call good business.
Anyway, my goal has always been to provide a place where fans of Sigur Rós can enjoy Re-Mastered concerts should they wish. With that in mind I wont be posting any more on this site but will endeavour to continue and finish the concerts over on Victory rose Lossless at some future date ...where my heart lies

sorry to hear that.
que lástima!!! No me gusta eso!!!
Dang. I'm really sorry. Thank you for your continued service!
Oh no! That is so sad...
Im currently refuting/fighting it as I believe its been done in error.
Im more concerned with the victory rose lossless site...we'll see
that really sucks, man. that happened to me too. i had never had a complaint/takedown-notice.
then wham, its gone. i thought about doing another one, but said fuckit. no way. too much effort uploading and maintaining to have it all go away at their whim.
good luck with the appeal. i wouldn't hold my breath.
either way, i hope you keep on keeping on around here.
Wonder who laid those complaints? Industry has picked a fight with Kim 'Dotcom' in New Zealand for megaupload (RIP).
Nooooooooooo whyyyy ahhh noooooooo how could they do this. This is the best blog on the internet!
The IFPI 'claimed' I was sharing the Winged Victory for the Sullen ALBUM. If a human had simply LOOKED its very clear its a live concert! and NOT the album...the counter claims continue
Sad to hear that.
Hope you'll be able to clear up the misunderstanding.
Regards,
Michael
hope it works, really want to download some of your recent gigs ;(
Hi
Really sorry to hear you are having issues; is there anyway you could get Sigur Ros (or their management) to speak up for you as people within the industry? You could also point to the precedent of Dime as a site allowed to operate after their run-in with the courts a few years ago.
All the best

Hi Toby
Whilst SR has always had a 'permissive' attitude towards fans sharing their live concerts, the management has always stayed well away wishing to avoid any issues that may arise in the complex world of copyright/rights/ etc etc. This has always been my project anyway. Ive not had any support from SR
As a long time fan of Victory Rose I just wanted to express a real sense of anger at the cowards at Mediafire and a heartfelt, sad "thank you" for all the wonderful music. You're well mastered live shows were the perfect compliment to the studio records. I'm sure all of the file sharing hosts are running scared in the wake of Megaupload's downfall. But there's no excuse for this bullshit.
Anyway, I hope it's not goodbye. Here's wishing you great success in exacting justice from Mediafire. I always spoke highly of them in relation to Megaupload, Rapidshare, etc., but I very much regret it now.
So sad to hear about this! Where there's a will (to continue in some fashion) there's a way.
