Funklbaldy is being forced to shut down his site.

[williedee]

Hi guys, I just got an email from funky letting me know that he received a C&D from premier today. Just a friendly heads-up for you all..

Its pretty sad to see them going after people sharing old Art shows.. you can't even buy them if you wanted to.

[bateman]

These pricks really are insane. Their lawyers have nothing better to do than troll messageboards looking for 15 year old Art Bell shows?

[williedee]

nice one bateman. yes, that is still an option, a very good one at that

[Scruff]

The thing is, I've never had a problem finding a way to access old Art shows.  I've been doing it since around 2002 and I always add a bit to my collection each year from various sources around the internet.  They can send all the letters they want and shut down whatever they can, but the shows are out there, and they always will be.

Funkbalby has been putting up free downloads of the nightly Noory and weekend c2c shows, not just old Art Bell shows.
PremRat wants only paying subscribers to access to Noory's new shows...

I think that is the main reason for the cease and desist. Screwing Art Bell fans was just a juicy side effect.

i'm sure that's the main reason.  he was providing streamlink services for free...

Why would anyone do that when you can just subscribe to streamlink for a mere 15 cents a day?!?!

I would rather flush a quarter a day down the toilet.

I wonder if U7 radio is going to be told to quit. I liked having the free streams.

I've been listening through the tune in radio app on my roku the last few days. Very convenient.

[Ipokesmot]

Screw these copyright crybabies.  You can't shut down torrents! 

And Streamlink blows goats.  Who the hell wants to pay to download shows without the bumper music?


This has been going on forever, and these idiots still think they can stop sharing.  Back in the 80's the industry wanted to ban VCR's and tape decks LOL.

[Ipokesmot]

One question, does Art own all of his old shows, or are they co-owned with PremRat?

I believe premrat. They seem to be wanting to kill the memories of Art.

Makes me despise them more.

I used to force myself to listen to George from time to time. Never again.

[Morgus]

Yep I see Funkbaldly has now removed all the archived shows of c2c (old and new) from his site.

All the more reason to liberate the old shows!!  I got torrents seeding like a mofo right now. 

Even if Art owned them 100%, I doubt he would be greedy or stupid enough to issue takedown notices all over the place, unlike SOME radio people (*cough* Hendrie and Dahl *cough*).  All that accomplishes is alienating the fan base and they end up with no fans left.

Sadly it's a whole industry in itself.  Little weasels running around looking for "pirated" media all day.

And if you think that's bad, the record industry even sends out "agents" to small businesses to see if they are playing copyrighted music in their stores/bars/etc.  If so they threaten all this legal shit if they don't purchase a "license".   I say take all the lawyers and burn them, alive.

I have been wondering if Art or Whitley owns the rights to the original Dreamland....?

[Chocolate coated jackboot]

any other non$ sources for weekly SIT?

[Morgus]

any other non$ sources for weekly SIT?

as far as I know, only by listening to a free live radio or stream from radio stations (Saturdays at 6pm PT) and record it at that time.

[Ipokesmot]

Dar.fm will record it for you, then you can download it.

Well u7 has been okay so far, but we will see. I'm also running a stream now (The Definitive Art Bell) on shoutcast for some variety

[WOTR]

Too bad FB had the letter to shut down.  I kept meaning to download Knapps mysterious disappearances shows.  I had told a friend about them and was going to show them what a great show could be.

I suppose that I could suggest that she just tune into Coast nightly for the next few months until another great show comes around.  The fact is that these corporations do not realize that often they shoot themselves in the foot with these types of actions.  Here was an opportunity for Pemrat to have somebody who has never been exposed to a Coast show (Bell, Knapp, Ian or George) hear a shining example of late night radio.  Here was a chance for a new listener... Now what am I going to do?  Pay to become an insider (insert hearty laughter here) or spend an hour searching the net for the shows from another site?  Not likely...  I think I will just tell her that the greedy corporate suits forced the site that I could easily find it down and that she is out of luck.

Perhaps it does not apply in this case as I have no doubt that even if she heard the disappearances show with Knapp that she would almost never find the same quality on an average C2C night.  I suppose there may be no chance that they will ever find an intelligent listener based on old shows.  Perhaps I will download a new Bell show if they are good and pass that along to her instead...

McAfee Site Advisor didn't like this link........

I listen to U7, Advent, borders stream, fermigraph, and I like your definitive art bell too.  used to like funky's streams since i could tune in whenever to get the show from the night or 2 nights before but... this really sux. Surely there is some way to repackage the site and stuff... ya know set up shop in another way so that they would have to really keep up with things to shut you down.  isnt a cnd just a warning too? like are they really gonna spend the money to prosecute somebody over sharing 10 year old radio broadcasts?

Thanks for your feedback but there shouldn't be any problems with this site ( https://anonfiles.com/ ). Maybe McAfee Site Advisor just doesn't like file sharing sites? I just downloaded the file myself. It is a fast download (under 10 minutes).

Two audio files had a too long file name and you couldn't unrar those files so I created this update...

Thanks;
I really appreciate that.  Those were some of the best recent shows that I can think of, and it is camping season.  I think that I will forward these to her and suggest listening late night (in her case, I believe that is after 9:00 PM.  :
