Yes, there are musicians. But the mp3 files in your dog Lusanto’s page aren’t his creations.
Lusanto, unless your name is Akira Kushida or whatever, I think that multiply closed downloading because of people like you.
No, Multiply shut down music downloads because they’re weak — too weak to stand up for their legitimate customers and process DMCA takedown notices on a case-to-case basis.
i’ve been on multiply since 2004 and i’ve seen them process many DMCA takedown notices on a case-by-case basis.
what’s going on now is beyond a DMCA takedown notice.
and indie musicians can still share their tunes on multiply, not only in the music section, but as attachments in their blog sections.
Oh crap, stop this defending stuff for Multiply. They shouldn’t have put that music sharing ek-ek if they know that music sharing stuff is illegal (for Pepe’s sake, sa Amerika naka-base ang site na ito ano! Most of these Kanuto’s know enough laws that majority of them have LAWYERS kaya wag nyo na ibato ang sisi sa mga users–they just use what their site offers to the max like any consumer/customer does). Multiply’s got webmasters who know what people are stuffing in their Multiply page and it would have been easy to disable or delete an account if they know that there’s ILLEGAL music downloading going on or something that happened to this blogger:

Oh by the way, I found this social network site that recently caught my eye and I just recently moved there. It’s called Virb.com and I discovered it while I was browsing for different social network sites possibly to replace my Multiply account. Although it doesn’t have the music sharing capability that Multiply used to have (and caused this uproar), it gives the user the capability to customize his/her site. Or if you’re looking for something else, here’s a link that led me to virb.com’s arms:

You be the judge if you want to move out of Multiply but this goes to show that what Multiply did was BAD. SUPER BAD.
the fact that scoble got kicked off of facebook because he was accessing people’s personal info, and was later reinstated because there was a fuss says that multiply is bad? i missed that connection.
the fact that virb pages are customizable, i missed how that one shows that multiply is bad also.
personally, although i like how highly customizable multiply’s personal sites are, i like the privacy settings and customizability of the inbox more. i like that i can have conversations with people in a way that often doesn’t happen in other blogging spheres. there’s level’s of trust you can build on multiply that aren’t possible in other places (except, perhaps, if you use Intense Debate for your replies).
