RIAA Hide-The-Website Game Moves To An Accounting Firm?
from the credibility-is-job-3 dept
At the beginning of the week we had a story about how the folks at the Register had tracked down the RIAA's much hacked website to the home of a guy who didn't appear to be very experienced in the world of webhosting. Now, the RIAA has kept the website moving, and instead of signing up with a firm that has some sort of reputation/experience in hosting large, heavily attacked websites, they've given it to a small accounting firm. The company, with the brilliant motto "We're... NOT... What... You'd... Expect" claims they also have a technology practice, that is introduced with the lead in phrase, "Wow, who would have thunk it." Yes, who would have "thunk" that a firm like the RIAA would trust such a firm? I wonder how much money they save by not using question marks?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
