WTF….
Mediafire has deleted ALOT of files by a complaint by this person…who I’m pretty sure does not own rights to all these albums by all these different bands.
At least one was a free bandcamp download...
(Sept 6th Update: I have since contacted that band and they have confirmed that LeakID/Herve Lemaire has does not have any copyrights on any of their material nor does LeakID/Herve Lemaire have any association with the band....oh ya, and they also thanked me for sharing their music)
(Sept 11th Update: another band who had two of their releases flagged and removed, sent me an email confirming that they also have no affiliation with LeakID/Herve Lemaire and asked me to continue to host/share their music. They also thanked me for sharing their music).
and one was CDR demo never commercially released.
Anyone who needs something uploaded again, please let me know.
I see drugpunk had a similar thing...
