He's just a student, paying the expenses himself, and
running the site with help from a handful of
volunteers. I'm not surprised that he said he could
not meet their conditions and took down th site after
receiving 2 cease & desist letters.

Io la Musica son, ch'ai dolci accenti
So far tranquillo ogni turbato core,
Et or di nobil ira et or d'amore
Poss'infiammar le più gelate menti.
