Muxtape.com, a website where users post a 12-song mixtape online that anyone can stream has been shut down by The RIAA. Some of the compilations were loaded with copyrighted music so it was only a matter of time before the RIAA got involved.
Music lovers far and wide, including Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes and our very own tastemaker Abjekt spread the word of the music they loved for others to hear. Hopefully the website will be back up again soon.
The site states: “Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA… No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely.”
