The End...

It is with our regret to announce that NZBMATRIX has closed.

We have had to make this decision due to a very large takedown request from a company called Wiggin LLC. These represent the following: Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited ("FACT"), Paramount Home Entertainment International Limited; Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Limited; The Walt Disney Company Limited; Twentieth Century Fox Film Company Limited; Universal Pictures (UK) Limited; Warner Bros. Entertainment UK Limited.

As everyone is aware we are DMCA/Takedown notice compliant, and always have been.

Once this notice is completed we are left with an impossible task of policing our indexing bots. Even then it won't stop there, there will be follow-up notices etc.

Coupled with this is problems with payment providers, we have been through pretty much everyone out there, in the end they all pull out.

There are massive server/bandwidth costs to pay, with the payments in-stability this is a very hard task.

NZBMATRIX has never been the subject of any legal issues or threats.

Also the Usenet Indexing scene is going through some changes, with content being removed from pretty much every provider its making the existence of an indexer irrelevant if the content does not even exists anymore.

So it's time for us to bow out...

I was devastated when I saw this, this morning. NZB matrix and Newzbin gone, and even NZBs R US has gone too.

just went through my bookmarks to find loads more have gone :(

shame as i liked this site and tended to use it over all the others

Never heard of it

Even after Googling it..I'm none the wiser

Took the words right off my fingers!

Made bigger so the hard of hearing can see it

I thought that educational standards were supposed to be increasing Chris!

Ask your pupils.......

I did some looking into this newsbinnetthingummy stuff a while back, confused the crap out of me

I'm gutted about it... It annoys me really as the freedom of the internet is slowly being taken over..

After reading that it looks like IRC is the way forward again!

No such thing as freedom, it's a myth!

Take for example, my ISP they now decide what I can and can't go on... Were never like is 5-10 years ago

Having just read through all of this I'm still none the wiser!, god my students are right, I am an old fart and I find myself turning into my father

Just go dark over VPN, tor and the like. Then what are they going to do.

Yeah but what is annoying is I shouldn't have to use VPN to access what I want...
