There's never a dull moment in the blogosphere. I don't want to bring down the happy vibe of yesterday's 500th post but I need to warn you all that someone has been aggressively deleting my links ( mostly Mediafire ). It's possible Mediafire are doing this themselves because they realise the wolves are at their door in terms of a DOJ shutdown but I also fear I am being targeted by an individual with a grudge. I've had to replace about 25 links in the last few days and there is probably that many again that still need fixing, I feel like I'm plugging holes in a sinking ship right now but the last thing I want to do is make this blog private or even worse abandon it. I'd much rather be enjoying my Sunday afternoon than dealing with this rubbish. Oh well.
Here's a recent article from the Huff Post that mentions the plight of Mutant Sounds and Holy Warbles...

I'm so sorry!
MF is running scared -they're deleting files all over the place. Sad, as they're by far the best host from a downloader perspective.
Don't go private just yet. I don't have time this weekend, but I should be able to script you something that would automate the re-uploads, and enable you to use links on your site that would redirect to the file location as it changes. I'll contact you via email as work allows. This is nothing we can't resolve with a little code.
Keep it up! Your blog is great!
this is concerning.. but it probably is mediafire deleting the files because they might be on the radar atm. thank you again for all the work you put in!
That was a nice article and i really fear that they wont stop with megaupload. Its really a shame...if it wasnt for blogs like yours and some others i probably woulda never hear lots of this music so i'm very grateful.

Mr. Craig:
Check your y7mail email account at your leisure. I've laid out my plan for world domination and I'd like your input.
Love all the library music, crime jazz and soundtrack material that you post on here. I too have had files removed from Mediafire recently as they have undoubtedly been running scared at the thought of being targeted by the RIAA. Hopefully we bloggers can keep this ship afloat while the sharks are swimming just beneath the surface.
I have also thought of maybe going private, but I don't really want to limit who can view my blog.
Anyway, keep up the good work!
Best, Kevin
