Actually they said they will be
deleting the user data base if anyone asks for it. Of course they never did keep
track of who downloaded a torrent. This will give my hard drive a rest. I think
I has about to ware it out running torrents all day and night. At least we still
have the Zappaters tracker. I know there are a bunch of others out there as
well. I can hardly believe this has happened with EZT being so careful not to
allow anything that might have possibly been seen to be official. I sure would
like to know exactly what the legal complaint was? They would ban an artist with
just the suggestion that the band or artist didn't want their bootlegs traded.

READ ! Jupiter2101,
What a bummer! My life will be changed
forever!!!
Who were these lawyers? Are they US-based? What about EZT -
is it based in the US?
Thanks for all your support and work during the years. It

Hello gals and guys, We're very sorry having to tell you that we had to shut down EZT forever just a couple of minutes ago. We got a call from our provider, they had received a few letters from a couple of lawyers. They requested EZT to be shut down immediately, otherwise we'd be sued. As you may imagine, we do not have the funds to fight a battle we most probably can't win anyway. We would like to thank everyone here for their contributions to EZT, one way or the other, for sharing the music, sharing an ideal, for all your mails, rants, praises... I'm sorry, I'm still too shocked to write on... maybe later I'll find some more words or my collegues will do... To say it with Joan Armatrading: We had fun, fun, fun, fun fun, fun, fun, fun we had fun -- while it lasted... --"Tall in the Saddle"-- You all take good care! jupiter2101, EZT Chief Mod Subscription changes may need several days to take effect.
