Folks: According to the Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News Episode Two [1] Charles Wyble offered to take over maintenance of the public demo Test Grid. Have you started taking over, Charles? Does anyone else want to volunteer to help Charles?
The Test Grid is went off-line a day or two ago. I heard from Peter Secor that he received a takedown request from Sony because there was a copy of a file that Sony claimed someone had claimed to have stolen from Sony. Technically, if you receive such a takedown request (in the USA) you need to quickly remove access to that particular file and then you can if you like challenge the validity of the request and then the burden of proof shifts to the requestor to prove that the file is something that you may not host. However, I assume that David Triendl (who is located in Austria), who was the actual operator of the public demo gateway, didn't feel like dealing with the hassle and just took down the gateway. Anyway, I think it would be cool if we had the live public demo gateway back up so that visitors to http://tahoe-lafs.org who clicked on "Try Tahoe-LAFS on the web!" got to see a live demo gateway instead of the current error message.
