] Well, folks - it's been a blast and it's been fun.
]
] Apparently, our domain registrar (namesdirect.com -
] subsidiary of Dotster.com) have caved to the pressures of
] the William Morris Agency giant. On April 29, 2003,
] Dotster.com received a letter from the William Morris
] Agency in regards to this website. Their complaint
] accused us of liable and potentially other civil and
] criminal offenses.
]
] This is another fine example of how Hollywood feels that
] their opinion and view is the only one that matters.
] Average citizens are disallowed the free expression of
] our point of view because they don't like being
] challenged for their views. I stand firm on the belief
] that we have done nothing wrong at this website - - The
] celebrities have expressed their views, and we have
] responded in kind by expressing our views regarding the
] thoughts and ideas that they have, publicly, expressed.
]
] Dotster.com has suspended our update information at this
] domain and have informed us that the DNS information of
] this domain has been changed and the website will be down
] within the next 24 hours and our contract with them is
] now null and void. They are doing this because we did not
] provide accurate contact information in their public
] database.
]
] When I explained that the reason we did not provide
] accurate contact information is because we have received
] multiple death threats and I did not wish for just anyone
] to have my personal information - and asked them for
] suggestions on what to do - Dotster was unmoved. They did
] not give me the chance to update the information with
] accurate information and keep the domain. That's not an
] option - - they are just simply going to shut down our
] domain - no explanation needed.
]
] Further questioning of Dotster brought me a copy of the
] letter sent to them by the William Morris Agency and
] reads as follows:

I stuck a mirror of the site's main page (that has the pics) at:
http://www.whack.org/~rattle/dead/boycott-hollywood.us.html

] We, in fact, recieved no such email from the William
] Morris Agency.
]
] I can say only this - - the fact that we're being shut
] down because of the William Morris Agency tells me that
] we truly touched a raw nerve in someone, somewhere. At
] the very least, it tells me that our message was recieved
] by the people that it was intended for. The very fact
] that we cannot express our opinions regarding the views
] of these stars/celebs shows me, yet again, the double
] standard that exists in Follywood.
]
] Thank you all for your support at this website - it
] appears my hands are tied in keeping it open. Dotster
] will be closing down our site within the next 24-48
] hours. I appreciate the hard work that Chris and Reilly
] have done at this site and appreciate the ongoing and
] intelligent, provoking discussions held here.
]
] Warm Regards.

The site is very right wing, not my cup of tea.. I got different reasons behind my anti-Hollywood attitude. I still get _very_ pissed off then I see the law being used to silence speech.

Memestreams.net is registered using Dotster.. This same type of thing could be done to take us out. Time to get that contact info up to date.. The barrier for getting a domain taken away appears to be pretty low these days..
