That song is hosted by Shibu just now. Do you still want me to host it? If so, I will do it in the next upload. OK?

Hi REX,
The song # 87, Kalidasan Kannadasan .... is
available at http://www.minnoviyam.com/songs/rajasongs.shtml
Of course recording quality is not good compared to the song no. # 87 that we have.
May be it is better to check this site, too.

MSK,Nithin and Ravi:
Thank you very much guys, for sending me the cassettes. I will try to upload the songs ASAP.
Vijay:
Did you try clicking the links more than 2 times?? Ithu Oru Nila Kaalam was moved to a low traffic server and was doing fine. I can push Aruvadai Naal song to that server. But I am totally surprised that the server is not allowing me to login right now. It says that my login is not correct. The links to those files are also not working.
Let me try to fix this problem ASAP.

Friends:
One bad news is that almost all the content hosted on Fortunecity server is lost!!! The server has lost all details regarding my account and even the link does not work.
This will definitely delay further uploads, as I have to link the existing songs to a different server.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused!
I am just wondering if this is a temporary thing or the contents were lost permanently.

HI REX,
Fortunecity is notorious for deleting accounts.
R.Sunder's site at http://members.xoom.com/rsundar/paatu.html also mentions the same problem.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!
I have restored about 11 songs by hosting them in the new Geocities server, within a short notice. Rest of the three songs will be moved shortly.
Devanin Koil Moodiya Neram from Aruvadai Naal is also moved to this server and there should not be any problems due to net congestion.
Other songs in the sluggish Tripod will be moved either to Xoom or Geocities during the course of this week.
Friends: Beware of FortuneCity Server..... Those people have sucked me up very badly by deleting my account without any notice. They are also not responding to my query.

Friends:
Can anyone suggest to me about how to contact for some sponsors for my site? If people like Fortunecity can suck me up, then it is high time that I do something about it. I cannot have a separate domain, as I cannot afford it because am just a student. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to even make the suggestions and I will make note of them.
Thanks!

Friends:
It is really unfortunate that REAL-BAG site is involving in piracy of the worst sort by giving links to songs that were produced by people like me after putting in considerable amount of hard work and efforts without even consulting or acknowledging me.
I have taken up this issue with the concerned web adminstrator. This is cheap and mean, I should say.
Therefore, I am compelled to take out the random play option for a day or two, until I take some efforts to set the songs in order so that `pirates' like Mail-Bag site adminstrators would realize the folly of taking recourse to cheap tactics.

Game-Plan Worked!!
Guys, I have taught the `pirates' at mailbag a good lesson. I recorded all the non-sense and had uploaded to my site. The realbag site was indexing these stupid links. Now anyone who had clicked to those songs at that site would have been compelled to listen to some nonsense and therefore would have come to know what these guys are doing exactly. Now those guys would have known that Rex cannot be taken for granted like Mr.Gireesan and others whose hard work were pirated by these guys without even the slightest acknowledgement.
Robbing other people's links and refurbishing it with some `select and play' options using Java applets would not work hereafter.

As a result of my shrewd decision, those fellows are compelled to remove the links they had given to my songs. They are not available at that site now.
Should they dare to do that again, they will be responsible for their own folly.
Let us get back to our uploads as usual.

***ROTFL**** I can't stop laughing :-)))))
That was a greaaaat prank on the mail-bag guys !!! Srikanth had earlier complained and received some nonsensical response from them ! You are one sharp guy ! Wish I could have seen their expressions when they found out ! They have such useless songs on their site and the recording quality is sooooo poor !

Srinath:
One interesting thing that I had done was this: Code the songs for about 5 sec period with delayed playback (the song would sound as if the singer was crying) and the clip info had info like this: "Probably you are at PIRATES' Site."--Title
"These guys rob other peoples' songs and links"--Author Information
"Come to my original site for lovely songs: http://members.tripod.com/ilayaraaja/"--Copyright information.
These clippings were available for at least 11 full hours and it was enough for those guys to have got their name tarnished. That is what I called as their own `folly'.
I am not a coward to just change my songs over different servers. While doing those things on one hand, I did enough that those guys would even think for a second time to rob my songs and links.
I think they have no right to `earn' from our hardwork by getting paid for their sites from their advertisers. I really sympathize for their poor decision in allowing other people to mock at their own site by giving us the right to upload anything we want!!!
Suckin' guys at MB......realize your own folly and try to do `some' original work.....
Sundar:
Unga songs athanayum antha pasanga thiruditaango!!
Shibu:
You might be the next target. Try to adopt the same strategy as mine. Together we will suckin those guys....Probably you know how difficult it is to encode and upload songs and how many times we shared our difficult experiences in uploading songs in RA format to the sites. We should not allow some third person to play a mockery on our efforts. This is against professionalism and is devoid of all basic decent norms.....a monumental aberration of the think-tanks at MB.
MB guys:
I am alive to your misdemeanors!!

Srinath:
I have given link to the `nonsense' stuff which I had it in my site and which the Realbag guys were `offering' to their audience.
Definitely within 11 hours time, they would have earned a notorious name from their audience.
Click the link that I had given in my page towards the end of the page. Do not forget to see what is going on the Real Player clipping info.
Those guys did not even have the courtesy to reply to my e-mail. But they were quick enough to silently remove the entire page and my nasty comment on their guest book calling the attention of web-browsing audience to MB `leelaigal'.
I hope they would have abandoned the idea of connecting to my songs once and for all. Or else...I do not care...I have even more worst stuff to be thrown public...that too from their own, esteemed MB site.

Hi REX,
I am aware of this problem of file piracy. Thats why I had some javascripting done on my site. At least it will take some time for them to steal the songs!!!
