I am Voice of Golden Eagle (mp3.com/voge). When I went to my artist site URL this morning, I saw one of the infamous VeriSign redirects instead of my music, complete with the dreaded message, "We didn't find: "artists.mp3s.com"

There is no Web site at this address."



MP3S.com?



Further investigation showed that MP3.com was almost entirely broken. While the front page (mp3.com) was still there, any link that went to their MP3S.com "sub-domain" was non functional. That meant the music charts and ALL streaming music services were down!



A quick check of the domain whois database showed the root

cause of the problem... MP3.com had allowed their MP3S.com

sub-domain to expire on September 23rd and had not yet renewed!



A multi-million dollar web presence stopped dead over a

$35 renewal fee.



As an artist being directly affected by this breakdown my next

actions were clear. I picked up the phone and called Network

Solutions customer support. Within minutes I used my own credit card to purchase a one year renewal for the MP3S.com domain. Something no one else had yet done.



So now I wait along with thousands of other artists for the

switch to flip and turn us all back on; a process that can take

24 to 48 hours as the new routing instructions propagate across the Web. But as I wait I smile, thinking about how the Net's "Premiere Music Streaming Service" had to be rescued by... me!

Sorry... That's because VoiceOfGoldenEagle.com is just a redirect to the mp3.com/voge site, which is still nonfunctional.
