O.P. I can't believe it! Microsoft temporary took down my site!
So it turns out Microsoft contacted Dreamhost about links to WLM 9 links in some comments on the website:
http://www.msgstuff.com/news/post/432/
Last night my website was taken offline until I removed the content and I was issued with a formal DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice regarding allegedly infringing content.
If Microsoft sent me an email asking me to remove the comments I would of complied. I'm really annoyed about it, I feel like I have been bullied by Microsoft  .
What do you guys think?

Well, the internet is full of websites having a download for WLM 9.0 With a little search in Google, you could find too many. Microsoft should close them too if they wanted to be fair.

That's highly unlike the team we used to know, I'd've expected them to have asked you first hand from the contact section, really lost some more respect for the messenger live team now
nice news post about it though

Sucks to be hosted in the USA. I got a DMCA complaint once, and my Dutch hoster just forwarded it to me and asked what's going on, without taking any other action . |

I am pretty made over the situation, it was totally uncalled for. I really want an apology for not taking more co-operative measures. Microsoft should know not to insult those who promote their products, because it will just lead to criticism . |

Agreed. I suggest you to reformulate you site and name it "ICQ Stuff".
What do you think?
