I don't give a shit that you took down your site. If i needed covers or a track list for a game sound track, i would buy it. And i have. And so have a lot of the rest of these 'lowlife carpetbaggers and illegal MP3 hoarders'.
Mike already made this point but from, i think, the entirely wrong perspective -- #gamemp3s has been ripped off all kinds of times. We've had our stuff re-tagged, re-branded, even transcoded, and sold as someone else's. We've had our albums put up on different Web sites. We've had people bring down our servers because some jerk linked one of our files on a high-traffic site. We've had to put up with hosts dropping us. We've had to put up with people making ridiculous demands. And now i guess we've had to put up with some dork on the Internet calling us carpet-baggers.
And 'you know what'. Life is still worth this to us. We still purchase these albums ourselves, we still do a meticulous job ripping and distributing them, we still pay for all the hosting, we still do all the coding, we still do all the site maintenance, we still spend time with 'the community', and we continue to put up with all the crap that brings. The enjoyment we derive from just doing it is worth far more than any of the money we've spent, the time we've lost, or the good moods we've had ruined. I can't imagine that something this trivial could possibly affect a genuine motivation like this, never mind give us cause to shut down.

Anyone else think this Lavender cat is awesome?
My personal favourite bit so far is the comment about her family waiting for her and this little obsession. Bitch, STOP HURTING YOUR FAMILY FOR VGM. This is simple. Chudah and Zane both seem like fucking children not worth the effort. I appreciate Blah and SS' attempt to be decent about all this, but seriously. They need to grow up.
INTERNET. SERIOUS BUSINESS. Etc.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
