[...] Record Label Infringes Own Copyright, Site Pulled / “Quote Unquote Records is an Internet based record label, run by Bomb the Music Industry! and ‘The Arrogant Sons of Bitches’ frontman Jeff Rosenstock. A forward looking outfit, all artists on the label give their music away for free on the label’s website. Well, they would, if the webhost hadn’t have taken down the site for alleged copyright infringement. In a MySpace blog entry, Jeff Rosenstock explained that the Quote Unquote Records site is non-operational, and other sites connected to the label, including the Bomb the Music Industry! and Arrogant Sons of Bitches sites, have all been taken down too…” [...]

This is the type pf total stupidity that comes from the extremes against the digital age. Obviously, this is the sort of thing that happens when ISPs are forced to act without the intervention of the courts on a case by case basis. Just a bunch of stupid, backward looking, idiots.

Pixelated,

Can you not read?

From TorrentFreak:
“The tracks the webhost referred to were actually written by Jeff himself.”

From Rosenstock’s blog:
“A little over a week ago, I was notified by my web hosting company that I had some files of copyrighted music on my website. The files were songs by ASOB that had been up there for about five years which I had forgotten about. These were songs that I had written. I spoke to a person on the phone who said “well, OK, if those are your songs then never mind.”

Also, files from ASOB are on his label, so it would not seem to be a valid point regardless.
