Sad news - No more Subsonic Radio

Post by subsonic » Apr Fri 01, 2011 12:24 pm

It's finally happened. :( 7 years later. Disney has sent the Cease and Desist letter informing me that Subsonic Radio is in direct copyright infringement of the Disney Corporation. I was amazed to find out that unless I cough up $72,293.45 dollars by May 1st more legal measures will need to take place. That is, unless I shut down the site. Of course, you all know that Subsonic Radio doesn't make money but they feel that this is how much Disney has lost in revenue for users not actually paying for the music they listen to here. I simply don't have this kind of money.

Here's the PDF I received this morning: http://www.subsonicradio.com/misc/temp/ ... Desist.pdf

So, it's with regret that today will be the last day of Subsonic Radio. It's been a wonderful 7 years. We've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the site.

We will continue to have the chat but the entire site will no longer exist after today.

To all who come to this happy place, welcome! And goodbye.

Edit:
Apparently, this is still scaring the poop out of people. This is an April fools joke you fools! :) MUHAHAHA!

It's the end of the world! End of the world is nigh! :shock: :wink:

We need to have a "panic" emoticon on here...

Well, with all that soon to be empty space we could just upload trip videos.

Alternatively, if we all take our life savings and buy Disney stock, vote out management, take over company, then we could get the legal problems quashed.... :wink: :lol:

I was waiting to see that they were going to throw you in a deep dungeon with Dave O'Neal.

Good April's Fools Day joke! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok, no problem. I just mailed a check for $80,000 to you sub. The kids don't need college yet. That should cover expenses and a little extra for your trouble running this site. Maybe that will keep us going another 7 years?

Thanks for the laugh today Sub! If I wasn't caught up in studying I was actually going to chat with you about a potential prank for the site.

I didn't have a chance to log on yesterday so I just saw the note and about had a panic attack. I went to My Treasures and started requesting like mad until I realized that it's the 2nd (Give me a break, I've been on Spring Break at home with the kids). Good one.
