Before you reblog everything to do with Nosdrinker’s blog being deleted, consider some things:

1. Tumblr doesn’t even HAVE a ‘get function’ when it comes to audio. In fact the only way to download audio is to have xkit - and if that was the problem, then it would be xkit who’d get into trouble, not the bloggers.

2. Nosdrinker made a post saying ‘my music blog is still up?’ which implies that his blog being deleted wasn’t necessarily to do with all of this.

3. This whole ‘it’s fully automated’ thing is UTTER BULLSHIT, I can tell you that now. For one thing if it WAS automated, then a shit tonne more blogs than nosdrinker’s would’ve been deleted. Record companies may hold copyrights, and may well be able to send out legal documents for the removal of music, but ultimately they could not get an ENTIRE BLOG removed without Tumblr’s consent or a Court order for removal. Let’s face it: Tumblr never remove anything, so they wouldn’t consent to it.

I just cannot help but think that this whole thing has been taken WIDELY out of context, and people are panicking and getting antsy over absolutely nothing. At best, the individual post itself would be deleted, but not an entire blog that could be anything up to 7 years old.

I mean come on, common sense, folks. Not even the likes of YouTube are THAT shitty. You’d get a warning at the very least, and a chance to fix the problem.
