RLSLOG back online after 3h downtime
Uff. I hope you feel as relieved as me. I just spent 3 hours convincing our current ISP to put the site back online. What happened? A simple copyright infrigement email from some stupid internet investigator company (or rather a bot) caused our ISP go nuts and shut down the whole site after I refused to delete that particular thread. The email says we are illegaly offering copies of certain game, which is of course not true. The another paradox: it was Unreal Tournament 3, half a year old game noone really cares about now.
One would think that writing few paragraphs and posting a few links to third party sites can’t cause you much trouble in country where’s the freedom of speech. Well, it can. I can be lucky the site is running at least, the post was removed and we will have to find a new home for our project pretty fast as our ISP doesn’t like to host it anymore. I’m just so disgusted right now by attitude of these people with whom I closely cooperated (and paid) for more than two years. Anyway, the site is back for you and I can finaly take some sleep…

I’m surprised it took this long, seeing RSLOG is the most high profile site of this kind.
Expect more of this rubbish from them.
Keep fighting the fight!
Thank god. I got scared
glad to see the site online again
kiddies. they keep existing..
why dont they go catch some bad guys
PRQ anyone? But sometimes they get their servers stolen in a raid …
Maybe someone can offer you another hosting, just like for the forum?
Anyway, good to see site back up!
f^ck them martin – they can’t do s^it to you – just get a new host and ur straight.
You aren’t even hosting anything on here? Strange…
my rss didn’t load and i was like, oh noes ..
I agree with first poster. Now that this site is as popular as ever, rlslog is going to get a lot more threats and bs e-mail about this stuff so it’s best to find a new ISP asap.
Best of luck and keep up the good work!
lulz you host at an american company? thats hilarious!
we will fight for your right
Good looking out! I don’t know what I would do without this site!
yea.. good to see rslog back online… =)
Appreciate all the hard work man
Hope you get a new host. RLSLog is daily must check…
cheers
I’d recommend you to host this where you’ll have null to little problems with your hosting company… somewhere in Europe could be a way out but honestly and judging by thepiratebay.org I’d realy try to host it in sweden.
Phew…. had me checking back every 5 minutes… damn IPs. They like to ruin the fun. But lolz, they should know RLSLOG will never die.
Fight the power!!!
With you all the freaking way!!!!
Phew… was worried a bit.Glad to see up and running.Whatever the staff decides im with you guys.Hope there wont be any bump in near future
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Was I the only one who was kind of worried when the forums was launched?
Hope you’ll find a friendly ISP !
good thing you’re back online.
glad to see that the site is back up — hope things get settled soon, cuz like others have said this site has become a daily necessity
Hello,
Great to see the site is back online.
I just love rlslog (homepage). Keep up the good work!
Kind regards from Belgium
DvdBss
I Go Throu The Same Thing Here Mod Staff . ISP Controlling What one Can And Can Not Do . Im tuired Of It . And Want to Discontinue My Services With Them . Those Freak BASTARDS!!!!!!!
It is sad to see these ISP’s caving in to any idiot who sends them a letter without checking their credentials and proof they are authorized to request the take down. These ISP’s need to start saying no until they provide proof.
“in country where’s the freedom of speech”
Never heard of such a thing. Where is this magical country?
Thx for your efforts!
I LOVE THIS SITE!!
=P thank goodness ur back online, keep up the good work
The server is taken down temporarily in the second half of the movie, then finally closes after a battle in court.
The server’s in the Czech Republic. I didn’t know they were known as “the land of free speech”.
didn’t u guys have once a post about piracy getting legalized in canada or sumthing? host there !
good to see the authorities fighting the violent criminals as usual
phew. u got me troubled
great to see the site back up !!
thx for the effort mate.
@ rlslog staff:
appreciate your hard work here, got really scared that it would be over, thx god you continue…
what about a russian ISP? would perhaps be the solution
go martin u rule stick it to tha man
you should jump on board with the pirate bay and see if they’ll lend you some server space i know they always are willing to lend a hand when it comes to sites like this and more high profile sites that have trouble with silly american lawmakers
thx martin.
this site is one of my favs it will be a shame to lose him!
we’re behind you all the way!!!
Glad to see the site online… I often wondered how come incompetent people get to pull the strings? Even more, why do they react so harshly, before understanding the situation? I mean, put you offline, just to feel safe…it’s just stupid.
They have to scare the ISP since they are the provider of all piracy. I quote Elton John: “close the internet”.
And yes, I am sarcastic.
Gee,, a life without RLSLOG would be not very cool :O
Glad to have you back (L)

Demonoid hosted in Canada for a little bit and look what happened to them.
Well, forget about relocating to Norway.
Even if we point our BIG finger to the U.S. about freedom of speech and such, when it comes to IT, we are spaceage and beyond on technology, but still in the middle ages regarding handling of P2P sites and the likes.
Does North Korea have some good ISP’s? At least U.S. layers will have to “talk to the hand”
well thank for your efforts to restore the site
PHewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I thought you’d gone for good then!!!!!
Thank god your back, and thanks for all your help!!
this site keeps going down…get it together rlslog staff
Thank you for the effort, it is appreciated.
happy it ended up ok.
keep the fight.
I’M WITH YOU!
p.s
love RLSLOG!
OMG I got scared A little i come to this site about 32 times a day yep a lot !!
thank’s for your efforts to restore the site
Stay strong RSlog.

They host a lot of sites like this one.
Good luck!
Internet is more considered as a “Earth state”. And freedom of speech, rules 90%+ Earth’s countries. Just dig up Ye Old Law Book, and everything will be fine.
Advocacy in US is not based by the law, it’s more based on the psychology. “A very evil man is free, to kill more innocent people”
i think it was US ppl, they afraid of this because they now are 3rd world country for economy collapse and dollar is not worth nothing now. i heard they not have many food and people starving for no jobs because bush take all oil money from iraq and afghanstan. all US people now going to canada and mexico because they very poor. they stop this site because they mad!!!!
glad to see ya guys back up…. i thought u had something new in stall for us
oh well….
Thank god, I was wondering what had happened there for a second!
I have a dual-core xeon, HP DL380 with 3 500 GB drives in Raid 5 and 4 Gb Ram running CentOS/Cpanel/Whm up in Toronto if you guys want a backup. The server isn’t being used much, I have a 100 Meg port with unlimited transfer. Just a little project, hoping to make money off it eventually (broke my neck, can’t work IT Consulting anymore, hosting is my new calling), got kayako and all that fun stuff. Anyways, if you want like a fail-over, feel free to e-mail me at: torchwood2008@mac.com Others are welcome to inquire, but more or less, this is just for rlslog, else I’d be a spammer. Anyways, just me doing it, and like I said, base config, got 8 sites on it right now and umm, 5 are mine
I won’t hold any “iffy” content though if your going to ask.
Wow, I was scared, I access the site about 10 times a day, maybe more, good luck with the new hosting process.
Thanks god you are on line again.
pls pls pls do what ever it takes pls dont shut down… rlslog is my homepage!!… not google
Glad you’re back up. Its the only site i have open all day long, when I’m in work and at home. Always interesting stuff, from tech news to media links. And I’d be happy to donate cash to help you guys find a new hoster!
the site really rocks me
Like all the stupid polatics in this country one thing that they all want is to get rich and if people are downloading movies than they dont make the money.
Every one forgets the freedom of information act that is in our constitution [sorry for the misspelling], but it seams as if the Rich and Powerfull of this country to make it hard for the little man to get ahead prices on stuff including the luxeries are so damnd high you cant afford to live.
Sorry for getting off topuic but couldnt stop myself.
now back to RLSLOG back on thought the Gman got you guys shuit down please take care and find a new home soon..
plus would love to become a member have some great reviews to get done..
fight the power martin, we love the site
@57 how do u see whats on http://www.leaseweb.com
We can host you on a privately owned server all you need to do is ask. email me for details.

LOSERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, they always try to take away the good sites, jesus get a life, go catch some real criminals
These people are so stupid, they know that they can’t catch the pirates so they decide to either break their own rules or go out on third parties as ourselves, there’s a word for these people and I think you all know it…
You got problems with a site hosted in the czech republic wow
love live the riaa. Down with this sort of thing.
anyone know any similar sites like this one or irfree.com
SPORTING 4 – 3 BENFICA
AHAHAH, BENFICA ARE LOSERS!!!
Portuguese Cup Game.
I’m with you rlslog! and wish you strenght in this whole thing!
Keep up the good work, don’t want to lose you.
“Well, forget about relocating to Norway.
Even if we point our BIG finger to the U.S. about freedom of speech and such, when it comes to IT, we are spaceage and beyond on technology, but still in the middle ages regarding handling of P2P sites and the likes.”
I don`t agree wit this quote, I think norway would bee a good place to host, since the authorities has some better things to do than close sites as rls log an so.
Love rlslog!
@32 are you ok? would take a couple of months maybe a year through the coyrts to prove that rlslog is in violation of any kind of copy write laws..wich they are not rlslog provides a service just like a newspaper does only difference is newspapers charge for the news..
Host it in Sweden… PRQ is the king of ISPs
ur RSS stil not working.
i hope u fix it as soon as possible.
Nice job Martin.
Keep up the good work.
good to have rlslog back on. thought it was down for maintenance. i cant have my homepage not work. what is this sh!t.
on another note. that tito guy’s post made me laugh for the longest. funniest sh!t ive seen someone post in a while. not that he was trying to be funny just all the bad spelling and grammar made me laugh.
I love the log. When I couldn’t get on my OCD kicked in. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). I would like to become a staff member, but because of what I do for a living and where I live, I don’t know if they would accept me. Rlslog.net PWNS the rest. Nuff said.
more banners and ads and get yourself a top lawyer and a solid server in switzerland
Michael Scott (The Office)
once said.. you wouldn’t arrest
a guy who is just delivering drugs from
one guy another guy, would you?
; )
Don’t scare me like this…
I’m really glad that the site is up and running again, don’t worry, I’m sure that you will find another host. Just keep the site alive!!!
Keep up the good work!
Glad youre back
84- why is funny, i say wrong things? it true, people now say US is 3rd world country because dollar is low now so all economy low so they have no job so they stop this good website. bush maybe complain because to fool americans for this site.
Great work at getting the site back up! Your ISP are idiots, they may as well shut down google for linking to torrents lol!
We’ll hound em with abuse once you find and move to a new one.
Good luck!
Thank God… The best of luck to all of you over there. And Ree, I love you dude, and Martin, have a good night’s sleep. We LOVE RlsLog at Ninja.
how’s your traffic anyways? i ‘maybe’ could find you a hosting solution.. only thing is that i can’t throttle too much bandwidth atm.. you can contact me through my invisible email about details.
good to see you you guys back
keep up the good work
If you need anything Martin, give me a holla.
Thank god you’re back! I was so worried that the site will be gone ….. Thank u Martin you’re the best
Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you guys do. I check this site more than 10 times a day for new posts. And I don’t know what we would do without you guys. So again thanks for all the hard work that really makes life a lot easier for all of us. You guys are the best out there.
Many Thank for getting the site sorted. Can’t say I noticed the site was down though. Was too busy watching the famous Glasgow Celtic batter the rangers.
I quote Elton John: “close the internet”.
Did Elton John really say that?
move out of US is becoming poor now why use there websites? go to china or euro is much more worth and they not send police for this good website!!!!
Uff indeed!
Well, best wishes from all of us. Its scary (yet not suprising) how litle it takes for a host to drop you like a hot potatoe. Guess they themself have no idea what the law actualy is about stuff like this.
Your not hosting, your not even tracking and not even hosting any torrent files… there is NO basis to shut you donw. But we all know… that doesnt mean it wont happen.
Good luck finding a host that isnt scared as easily!! And think about taking people up on offers for backup servers.
They wont be able to sustain the load of this site full time, but for an event like this it can come in handy.
If u can ,do what Pirate Bay does.Reply back.Don’t let the bastards think they can bother you anytime they want with their rubbish threats.
I think Tito is a HOMO. Bring it dog, I will protect the US. I may not agree with what happens here, but this is my home. So what? Bring it!!
What if this site and a whole lot of similar sites were to get together and set up their own server on a tiny island outside the jurisdiction of any national government? The costs could be shared among many sites and it would ensure a much safer enviornment. Just wondering.
what about sealand?

Content Distributors like the RIAA and the MPAA are only going to hold on to their monopolized market. That is until enough momentum builds up in which these old methods become excessively more expensive to continue.
Already, Sony has sold it’s Blue-ray plant, because like Microsoft, they both already understand, it’s just more profitable to offer instant download, than press another disk.
The ironic thing here is that while these older corporations fight against P2P, there going to be using it ahead in order to distribute copies by the hundreds of millions at a given time. You know they will want to use P2P because unlike centralized storage where you let users or customers here download your content, you really don’t want a server farm costing huge amounts of money, when you can have every downloader share it for you, which actually is faster the bigger the sharing of the download file/s.
These greedy self serving corporations only care about the bottom line, that is how to make the biggest profits, for it’s shareholders in general.
So until people unite and stand together, these if you don’t mind me saying so, “bastards” will continue to deny everyone their right to share amonst society the works by society. While they get to make billions of copies and mass distribute all this for a profit which serves their own interest.
I say, boycott them all! If everyone is willing to do just that, they have no legal means to fight you. If everyone just boycotts all these self serving capitalist, whatever you want to call them, who think they only get the right to distribute everyone’s work which they didn’t create, and yet are solely entitled to profit, we can all just prove to them once and for all, without us, there is nothing at all for them to hold over us and against us.
Are you tired of being pushed around, told you’re all pirates?
RIAA and the MPAA are the real pirates by doing exactly what they deny everyone else from doing.
RIAA and MPAA shouldn’t be telling everyone it’s only okay for them to mass produce in the billions of copies which they profit for, while individuals of the society are forbidden to even just share their own culture’s work without profiting, and be told, you’re all pirates. Off with you head and all…
It’s totally ridiculous… Boycott them as there is nothing more powerful then by NOT supporting them with your money. That’s the only and one thing they have no defense.
They cannot force you to buy, and they cannot pass a law forcing everyone to purchase anything from them. Consumers have these rights to pick and chose, to say NO or yes.
We the people, need only to stand up against all this unfairness. No court is needed, nothing but our action of NOT purchasing anything from these bastards.
Have the courage to stand up!
Have the willingness to boycott these bastards!
Good job,glad RLS is back up.Like many others,I also check this site 5-10+ times a day.One of the best sites ever and haven’t stopped checking since I found it months ago.I’d definitely try n’ find a new ISP with that bull,anyways,thanks again,RLSLOG PWNS!
