| 193757 | 2003-11-21 23:58:00 | ?:| No idea. I called Orcon but there's no official word. I emailed the owner (seeby at orcon.net.nz) and now waiting to see if I get a response. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 193758 | 2003-11-22 00:57:00 | I got the same "Unknown address" message, but I'm slightly confused... Cyberchuck told me Orcon sold it (or passed it) to someone else. And there was that article in the Herald not too far back comenting on p2p.net.nz, and the chairman of RIANZ said something along the lines of "they'll be getting a legal surprise soon". |

| 193761 | 2003-11-22 04:22:00 | Word is that it has been shut down. | segfault (655) | ||
| 193762 | 2003-11-22 05:55:00 | > Word is that it has been shut down. There's still other NZ-Only ones quoted in that Herald Article... What other things have Orcon had to shut down when requested to by authorities? |

In an ironic twist, the association and Phonographic Performances, which collects royalties for artists, are former customers of Orcon. O'Neill-Joyce said his group changed internet providers when it learned of Orcon's involvement with the file-sharing community. "With all their knowledge of how the industry works, the number of times we've asked them to take things down as an internet provider, it was very disappointing." That's what had me thinking............ |

| 193765 | 2003-11-22 20:26:00 | Ah yes. What gets me is the part that says "changed internet providers when it learned of Orcon's involvement with the file-sharing community". Other recording industry groups have recognised that file-sharing is not at fault, but the users of file-sharing communities. What it looks like to me is that RIANZ is taking a stubborn "no, it's because of the file-sharing networks" approach. |
