Digitalfire is facing a takedown order from Plainsman Clays. They are revoking permission to "use any Plainsman content" "on any platform". This is broad and vague enough, and this site large enough, that I am unable to comply or even interpret it in the short timeframe (June 27). Please don't panic, I am overwhelmed by the unbelievable support I am getting. We just need to get them to relent on this demand and call off the lawyer (to at least permit commentary). There are lots of backup sites (many people have the API endpoints), don't start downloading or scraping again and overload the server.
Insight-live.com general operation is not affected by this.
Digitalfire is facing a takedown order from Plainsman Clays. They are revoking permission to "use any Plainsman content" "on any platform". This is broad and vague enough, and the site large enough, that I am unable to comply or even interpret it in the short timeframe (June 27). This notice arrived with a threat to turn over the plainsmanclays.ca URL, which I rightfully own (and use to voluntarily fund and maintain a live site backup) and plainsmanpotterysupply.com (which I don't have). I had to shut down Digitalfire for part of today because so many people were taking backups of the site. We just need to get them to relent on this demand, call off the lawyer and agree that digitalfire.com is just commentary and I have the right to share research that I compiled. There are lots of backup sites (many people have the API endpoints); don't start downloading or scraping again and overload the server.
