| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:52pm - Sinistas ""] Note the hilarious spelling error. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:53pm - Niccolai ""] Hahaha MegadeAth |
| ____________________________ [May 3,2007 3:54pm - pam ""] Oh wow...that's amazing. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:56pm - Sinistas ""] It's been removed, but I emailed back saying "yeah, it's Megadeth...No "a". haha |
| _________________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:57pm - largefreakatzero ""] Another case of the man keeping a nigga down. That is funny they are unable to spell Megadeth correctly. |
| ____________________________ [May 3,2007 3:57pm - pam ""] You sir, just climbed my ladder of respect. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 3:59pm - Sinistas ""] I wonder if I could fight it since they didn't have the right band name ;) |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:01pm - SteveOTB ""] Sinistas said:It's been removed, but I emailed back saying "yeah, it's Megadeth...No "a". haha You should've said "I was leaking "MEGADETH" not "MEGADEATH", there's a difference". |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:03pm - Sinistas ""] yeah, I know. too late now! |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:06pm - Niccolai ""] That would be hilarious if they actually only processed their copywrites for megadeath, and it were perfectly legal to jack their shit. |
| ____________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:06pm - Josh_Martin ""] Wasn't there a MegadeAth in the 60's? I wanna say they were pre-Pink Floyd or something but I'm not sure. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:12pm - Sinistas ""] Yeah, it was the Meggadeaths, IIRC. |
| ________________________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:13pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] to be totally frank, all you had to do was write back "I am not hosting any Megadeath" and be done with it. Legally, it has to be said to you EXACTLY right or it doesn't count. |

| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:20pm - Sinistas ""] Rather than have my hosting yanked, I just complied. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:24pm - Archaeon ""] How the hell did they find that |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:27pm - Sinistas ""] Not sure. |
| _________________________________ [May 3,2007 4:33pm - Archaeon ""] if you type "leaked Megadeth" into google. that link is the first hit. |

In reality, he isn't hosting any MegadeAth, he is hosting Megadeth |

| _________________________________________ [May 3,2007 7:27pm - Dwellingsickness ""] Archaeon said:How the hell did they find that I am sure they have people scouring the net to look for shit just like this , and from there it is pretty easy to trace an IP and find out who is hosting it I would think. |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2007 3:27am - MadOakDevin ""] yeah, i'm sure the lawyer/intern that wrote this cares about the spelling of megadeth. |
| _________________________________ [May 4,2007 7:42am - sinistas ""] Nobody said she cared about it, I just said it was hilarious that the OMGLEGAL email I got didn't even have the band's name spelled right. |
| _________________________________ [May 4,2007 8:23am - Niccolai ""] MadOakDevin said:yeah, i'm sure the lawyer/intern that wrote this cares about the spelling of megadeth. You can tell they went to great lengths to sound professional, and spelling the band they are reprizenting wrong is very unprofessional. This is called irony, which of course is sometimes funny in American culture. |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2007 8:27am - horror_tang ""] Email those to me and I'll host them for you or send me a link to a "secret" page and I'll download them and share them again. |
| _____________________________________ [May 4,2007 11:43am - HailAtWork ""] I find it all the more amusing that it's roadrunner records...they used to be a real label ya know... |
