    got this from my netsoc today in college:

    Hello,
    you are receiving this e-mail because you have compressed music
    files on your homepage. We have had to impose a blanket ban on all
    compressed music files (*.mp3, *.ra, *.wma) because of a second
    complaint from the IMRO. These complaints jepordise the future of Netsoc
    as a whole. We encourage people to host compressed music files with us
    to which they have an applicable liscence or are the copyright holder
    (eg your song / your friends band's songs - with his/her permission).
    If you believe the music on your homepage is legal please email
    *****@******.ie and we will be more than happy to unblock it for you.

    Yours
    ********* ********

    I'm not blaming netsoc at all, but have the IMRO nothing better to do than muscle in on small things like this?
    BTW music was a friends :p

    Wonder where they stand on .ogg files? :)

    Were the permissions sloppy on the files in question or were they only readable/executable by you?

    IMRO complained to HEANet. It's HEANet that have managed to bungle it a bit by whinging any time they see /any/ mp3 file being sent acros the network. UL Skynet had hassle with them when a guy was sharing mp3s of his own music on the server. They should have told them to go jump in this specific case but for some inane reason they didn't.
