		<description>Well just call me a red light running bicyclist, Tessa (not so comfortable with the babysitting pedophile, however).

But before you do, I beg you to read further down into Justin&#039;s Muxtape post:

&quot;... I received notice from Amazon Web Services (the platform that hosts Muxtape’s servers and files) that they had received a complaint from the RIAA. Per Amazon’s terms, I had one business day to remove an incredibly long list of songs or face having my servers shut down and data deleted. This came as a big surprise to me, as I’d been thinking that I hadn’t heard from the RIAA in a long time because I had an understanding with the labels. I had a panicked exchange of emails with Amazon, trying to explain that I was in the middle of a licensing deal, that I suspected it was a clerical error, and that I was doing everything I could to get someone to vouch for me on a summer Friday afternoon. My one business day extended over the weekend, and on Monday when I wasn’t able to produce the documentation Amazon wanted (or even get someone from the RIAA on the phone), the servers were shut down and I was locked out of the account. I moved the domain name to a new server with a short message and the very real expectation that I could get it sorted out. I still thought it was all just a big mistake. I was wrong.

&quot;Over the next week I learned a little more, mainly that the RIAA moves quite autonomously from their label parents and that the understanding I had with them didn’t necessarily carry over.&quot;</description>

		<description>As much as I am against many of the tactics the RIAA has regarding music sharing, you&#039;re a little off on your report that they &quot;squeezed out&quot; Muxtape.

From Justin at Muxtape: &quot;They demanded that I take down six specific muxtapes they felt were infringing, so I did.&quot; 

They did not shut down the website. They requested the removal of 6 out of 1.2 million unique visitors.

Would someone please tell the music fanatics that calling wolf over everything the RIAA does is as bad as a bicyclist running a red light or a pedophile babysitting?</description>
