Blige, Chris Brown and Swizz’s wife Alicia Keys. All of which supported the site.

Four indivutuals have been arrested and seven other indicted on charges that inclue “conspiracy to commit racketeering and criminal copyright infringement”.

But not long after the site was shutdown by the government, backlash erupted a with hack attack.
Shits getting serious. These sites will disappear one by one.
