PureZC shut down

[New Journeys Fire]

This may be a false alarm, but Zeldaclassic may be under threat. PureZc appears to have shut down today for apparently having violated the piracy act with the Zeldaclassic program.

Anybody know anything of it?

Looks like a voluntary take down in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills, like those happening on sites like Google and Wikipedia.

I don't understand fully why there are protests against companies that try to stop piracy.

I'm not so sure about that.
There was nothing on Pure to indicate that the staff or the owner were doing such a thing.
Seeing as I'm part of that staff.
I have a funny feeling it was hacked.

...so not a hack.

Wildbill apparently decided to do this spontaneously, without telling anyone. If this is not the case, his explanation should be interesting.
