Unfortunately during the afternoon of friday the 5th of March, we were hacked by a young gentlemen who shall remain nameless (well, more because I don't know his name).

The site was taken down relitavely rapidly, however there may have been some of you that recieved a message on their computer. If you accessed the site during this time, I strongly urge you to do a complete virus scan of your machine, as the "gentleman" (and I use that term quite loosely) planted an active-x trojan on the site. This has since been removed and the site has been restored, and will come back to complete working order of the next week. During this time (due to some security updates we have processed) RSS feeds may be offline for press release updates. This is an unfortunate byproduct of this.

To the best of our knowlege, no personal data from the databases was able to be accessed by the hacker.

www.thataudioguy.net attended this protest, It was unbelieveable! big ups to SLAM for bringing this important issue to everyone's attention. I praise you and your commitment to this issue that should be close to every musicians heart. remember, we have an accord, not law, so keep pressuring the government people!
