RE: I can't believe it! Microsoft temporary took down my site!
What I can't believe is that first of all I don't believe the link was active; I may or may not be wrong. Second of all when Neowin.net and Mess.be published the feature list (That I unknowingly copied/pasted from a post on the forums) they were not issued a formal DMCA. To be frank they weren't even contacted by Microsoft employee's to remove the content, they were pounced with MVP's, Butterflies, and Testers to remove the content so the beta could continue. To give further detail, Neowin.net did not even remove the content until 5 days later when all the major news sources spread it like wildfire.
There are many websites that still give a download for Messenger v9, and I've reported them, and yet they still don't have the content removed. I don't understand why Messenger Stuff was on the hit list for a petty comment. Although I can understand Microsoft's point of view on this, I don't believe they should have went straight to the host. I've seen them on many occasions to contact the website directly instead of going to the web host.
