Second call for Sunday afternoon rock party?

alright, here's the word from Michael:
hey dude. i know, i'm sorrywe're bummed too, but the reality of it is that we recently started getting letters and phone calls from BMI, SESAC, and ASCAP (the music licensing agencies) asking for money to secure licensing, since continuing to operate the site requires broadcast licenses from each agency. way more money than we are capable of coughing up right now, sadly. so at the risk of also getting legal threats for not paying up, we had to take it down for now until we figure something out. i'd like to bring the site back in some fashion, maybe something password resicted or invite only, but i'm not clear on if that would protect us legally either - we'll have to see.

Tis a sad day. Actually, I guess the truly sad day was several weeks ago when it actually went offline, but knowing what happened is also very sad.

Should we rename this thing to "plug.DJ/ILXORS"? Also – come on in, the music is fine!

What about a new Plug thread, and an "RIP" + lockage for this one?
― Neil Jung (WmC), Wednesday, 4 July 2012 02:57 (eleven years ago) link
I wouldn't lock this thread, but yeah, new one for plug and an RIP in the title would be good.

Made a new thread: plug.DJ/ILXORS – it's like Outloud but not defunct and like turntable.FM but internationally accessible and with more bears
