"No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned."
That's from muxtape's blog. However, the RIAA says: "For the past several months, we have communicated our legal concerns with the site and repeatedly tried to work with them to have illegal content taken down. Muxtape was hosting copies of copyrighted sound recordings without authorization from the copyright owners. Making these recordings available for streaming playback also requires authorization from the copyright owners. Muxtape has not obtained authorization from our member companies to host or stream copies of their sound recordings." People online are speculating that RIAA is going after muxtape for royalties, as if muxtape were an internet radio station, whereas muxtape is saying that it consists of user generated content, like YouTube, and will take stuff down any time there's a legitimate complaint but aren't responsible for paying royalties.
( Has any action by the RIAA or the major labels since filesharing started not been self-defeating? )
