Easytree, perhaps one of the most popular torrent sites around, unexpectedly made its grand exit today:April 6, 2005, 16:00 GMT
Hello gals and guys,
We’re very sorry having to tell you that we had to shut down EZT 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 and the hosting service would 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…Fans of live music might have to actually start leaving the house again.
UPDATE: Thanks to new hosting, Easytree lives!
