Hello gals and guys,
We're very sorry having to tell you that we had to shut down EZT just a couple of minutes ago.
We got a call from our provider, they had received a few letters from a couple of lawyers. They requested EZT to be shut down immediately, otherwise we and the hosting service would be sued.
As you may imagine, we do not have the funds to fight a battle we most probably can't win anyway.
We would like to thank everyone here for their contributions to EZT, one way or the other, for sharing the music, sharing an ideal, for all your mails, rants, praises...
To say it with Joan Armatrading:
We had fun, fun, fun, fun
fun, fun, fun, fun
we had fun -- while it lasted...
--"Tall in the Saddle"--
You all take good care!

Easytree was a bit torrent site that indexed mainly unreleased live performances.
Just don't confuse easyetree with etree (http://www.etree.org) which is a site indexing lossless (no MP3) copies of live performances and whatnot legally (authorized by the artists).

it's a shame, since...
1) there's a market for such a place
2) most of the live stuff was definitely not ILLEGAL in any sense (I think they should've, or at least COULD have, stuck to purely-legit material in order to keep it running.)
...
I bet it was MPAA at it again, together with the recording giants!
... Yea I know MPAA are supposedly after FILMS, but they've been closing down sites with music, porn, series etc. etc. just because they CAN. stupid gits.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
