Moistworks got shut down this week, as its host was served notice by the apparently British IFPI that it was "hosting infringing files" (aka mp3's). The site is now back up, and is moving to a new hosting service. But could this be a warning shot aimed at the rest of the "mp3 blogging community"?

Dunno. Gulp. Who's next? Heads up via donewaiting.

ETA (1/17/05): Mystery & Misery opines on the subject with authority, outlining a six point "creed" that many, if not most, mp3 bloggers live by. Aussie-based int'l music blog Fat Planet also offer his thoughts (1/20/05).
