In case you haven't noticed, there is continuously increasing rate of *DMCA takedown notifications*.
The newer the release, the more the chances of the respective topic getting red-flagged.
Even though the post in question doesn't get automatically deleted, it still is a frustrating experience.
Google Blogger resets it to "Draft" status and expects the author to remove any *infringing content*.
Failure to do so within a certain period of time (if you know how long that is, please enlighten me) results in permanent deletion.
No recovery whatsoever, gone for good - advanced users may still find traces by using the Cached page search I guess, but that's not the purpose here.

Needless to say that the idea of messages, posts, pages and -if the shit hits the fan/worst case scenario comes true- entire blogs (For whom the bell tolls?) disappearing without a trace doesn't appeal to me. In fact I find it preposterous.
As a precautionary measure, I registered in BayWords.com, to put my mind at ease.
You have to admit, the idea of uncensored blogging seems comforting.
Expect more information over the weekend, right now I can barely keep my eyelids open let alone elaborate on the matter...

I'd rather no one gets burned from this so do what you gotta do.

You guys can also choose "start FLAC/320kbps thread" route at some warez forum.
