Online Jukebox now restricted to Internal Use

(July 16, 2002) Our apologies to the internet community, but upon the advice of international experts, Bitstop is terminating the availability of the online jukebox site to the public.

Our advisers pointed out Bitstop’s need to be conscious of, and respect copyrights and avoid infringements of any sort even if the site is done solely for testing and evaluation purposes. Henceforth, the online jukebox will no longer be accessible to the public.
