Notice on MP3Fiber’s website

The organization has taken an especially aggressive stance against Internet users who want to be able to freely copy published music.

In September last year, YouTube-MP3, the worldโ€™s largest and most popular YouTube audio download website was shut down by RIAA following a settlement with the music labels.

The RIAA carried out an investigation against MP3Fiber. It then asked domain privacy service, DomainsByProxy to provide the personal details of the siteโ€™s operator.ย T

he company provided the requested information to RIAA in absence of court order and also notified MP3Fiber, reports TorrentFreak.

Using the obtained information, the RIAA contacted the siteโ€™s operator living in Canada. According to TorrentFreak, the site believed that it was operating legally due to the blank media levy in Canada, which compensates the labels for private copying.

However, the RIAA maintained that this defense wouldnโ€™t apply since the MP3Fiber site was accessible in the U.S.

In order to avoid getting into any legal mess with the RIAA, MP3Fiberโ€™s operator took the decision to shut down the service.

โ€œThis site was actually run as a hobby. We spent more on servers then we ever made so did not want to get into any legal battles. We pretty much gave in to their demands without too many other thoughts,โ€ he told TorrentFreak.

Threatening action by the RIAA against YouTube-ripping sites has seen sites like MP3Fiber, MP3.Org,FLVTO.biz, 2conv.com, Pickvideo.net, Video-download.co and EasyLoad.co shut down their service in the recent past.
