Music website shut down by crime squad
The popular music website RnBXclusive has been shut down by police and a man has been arrested.
The domain name rnbxclusive.com was taken over by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), which warned users they may have committed a criminal offence.
In a message on the site, the agency said most music files that were available via it “were stolen from the artists” and those who downloaded them could face up to ten years in jail and an unlimited fine.
It said: “Soca has the capability to monitor and investigate you and can inform your internet service provider of these infringements.
“As a result of illegal downloads, young, emerging artists may have had their careers damaged. If you have illegally downloaded music, you will have damaged the music industry.”
