CDCovers.cc told by the RIAA/IFPI to remove audio covers from their site

This is unbelievable. I’ve got used to the RIAA closing down file-sharing sites but this………(*holds in rage*)

Here’s the statement from cdcovers.cc:

The End Of The Audio Section

Posted by Yalko on Wednesday, November 27 2002 @ 1:19 GMT

The money hungry people at the RIAA / IFPI have made it very clear that they don’t want us to host audio covers anymore. It’s all about money folks and although we are a profit free organization that runs on voluntary basis those scumbags don’t give up and want to shut us down through threatening our host.

It’s been a great adventure but we cannot afford this anymore. Therefore we have decided to take the audio section offline for good. Thank you all for your support for the past 3 years.

Please don’t mail us for any covers – we’ve deleted all the artwork. It’s gone for good.
