google deleting music blogs

Article: Google shuts down music blogs

UPDATE 2/18/2010: another article: Music Journalism is the New Piracy

well i didn’t read the whole article, and i don’t care to, because i’m lazy. basically google is deleting blogs on blogger.com that post “copyrighted” materials. its all a bunch of DMCA stuff (of which i do have experience getting notices)

my two cents: learn to run your own blog so that it doesn’t get removed from the internet at any given time by your blog service provider. why gorillavsbear hasn’t been taken down i’m not sure -as they are the largest blogger powered music blog out there.

so what did you learn today? if you want to join the hipster music blogger scene – probably learn to run your own blog. (or make friends with somebody at google or the Web Sheriff.)
