mp3sparks down. Was anyone aware of this? - 01-13-2008, 04:56 PM

When Allofmp3.com got shut down in July, it took little time for its replacement MP3sparks.com to fill the void. Well, MP3sparks has recently been blocked from many major ISPs in the United Kingdom thanks to its alleged links to the Russian Business Network, “a notorious group known for pumping the internet with child pornography and denial of service attacks” according to The Register.

The site has also recently changed hosts and is now on AbdAllah Internet, which apparently has ties to the Russian Business Network as well and has been tied to “a drug spamming scam run by Leo Kuvayev…Spamhaus‘ public enemy number one.”

Dirty bastards. I'm pissed

You can access your account by downloading "allTunes". I’m draining my account, and be done with them, unless they can prove this allegation as false.

Hi compupro32

If you had taken the trouble to read the recent threads on this forum before mouthing off and double posting, you would know that it was THIS FORUM that broke the AbdAllah/Cogentco blocking story some weeks ago. You would also know that that the blocking of AbdAllah was happening before Mp3Sparks was hosted there. And that the site is not being blocked by UK ISPs, but their hosting company is being blocked by transit provider Cogent. And that two other people have already posted links here to The Register's story. And if you really are a computer professional, you should know that denial-of-service attacks such as Cogent's contravene RFC 1087 "Ethics and the Internet" RFC 1087 Ethics and the Internet.

And The Register's story, clearly sourced from this forum, doesn't make any claim that Mp3Sparks is part of the Russian Business Network. If you can cite any evidence that it is, I'm sure we would all be interested to see it.
