Wow, Nzbmatrix is closed forever.

The End...

It is with our regret to announce that NZBMATRIX has closed.

We have had to make this decision due to a very large takedown request from a company called Wiggin LLC. These represent the following: Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited ("FACT"), Paramount Home Entertainment International Limited; Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Limited; The Walt Disney Company Limited; Twentieth Century Fox Film Company Limited; Universal Pictures (UK) Limited; Warner Bros. Entertainment UK Limited.

As everyone is aware we are DMCA/Takedown notice compliant, and always have been.
Once this notice is completed we are left with an impossible task of policing our indexing bots. Even then it won't stop there, there will be follow-up notices etc.

Coupled with this is problems with payment providers, we have been through pretty much everyone out there, in the end they all pull out.
There are massive server/bandwidth costs to pay, with the payments in-stability this is a very hard task.

NZBMATRIX has never been the subject of any legal issues or threats.

Also the Usenet Indexing scene is going through some changes, with content being removed from pretty much every provider its making the existence of an indexer irrelevant if the content does not even exists anymore.

So it's time for us to bow out...

I paid $10 vip member fee for it. oh well, I got what it's worth...

Lack of NZB sites isn't going to be the problem if they are targeting usenet providers now, i.e. Newshosting, Astraweb, Giganews, etc.

too late. all the usenet host are being DMCA like crazy now... best thing to do is look them up with a news reader... If you dont grab the file within a day of its release, it may be gone the next day.

Yeah, I knew they were getting take down notices, especially Showtime and HBO stuff. But cutting off payment providers ? Wow.

Most people still use torrents, I wonder why they saw Usenet as a big threat, was it really getting as mainstream as torrents?... Like always people will adapt, they can slow it down for a while, but they can't stop piracy.

Usenet is easier to target, less resources used, and usenet providers make money. IMHO

Its legit in that the forum was started by former active members of the original Matrix, but it does not host any usenet related files. Its meant for gathering of former Matrix members for discussions.
