justin.tvRofl "this has been taken down due to copyright violations"
... ... OH NO!!
"it'll be up again in 4 hours"
.... Oh, okay. It's about as harsh as a RAP, it turns out :)

Yeah I noticed that as well right after I made this post.
Still wondering exactly why it was taken down though... GomTV, all his music, or maybe the TeamSpeak thing with the Honportal guys?

Almost sure it's the GomTV. A lot of his music is fairly uncommon / remixes, so it seems somewhat unlikely that the copyright holders would ask justin.tv to take that stuff down. I could totally see GomTV, which gets paid by its users to be able to view content, would know about all the streams out there restreaming and try to discourage them.
Just a guess.
What happened with the honportal guys?
1
They had a metting over TeamSpeak with Pwn while he did a stream, and apparently he accidentally showed some stuff that wasn't supposed to be made public yet. Not sure how serious it was, but I heard he got some trouble over that.

It's not like he leaked secret Swiss banking information. Its 5 guys making a fucking website; I doubt it's concerning Honportal or whatnot.

Huh, interesting -- sad I missed it.

he restreams gomtv sometimes, maybe that's why?
yea all the stream that stream gom are down
Yeah it actually was a claim by GomTV over copyright. I saw the email on pwn's stream (which is back up by the way).
