Another setback

Yesterday I posted a guest post from Mike Solof, an acoustic version of "Abbey Road" by the Beatles. Unfortunately, somehow that caused a copyright violation alert for Pixeldrain, one of the two file sharing services I've been using lately. And furthermore, it turns out Pixeldrain has a "zero tolerance" policy, which means if you ever have even one copyright violation that they notice, you are permanently banned from uploading anything to them ever again. 

That sucks, because I had been impressed with Pixeldrain. It seemed to be superior to the other file sharing service I'm using, upload.ee. However, even if I could get them to wipe this one violation, that wouldn't do me much good. I'm constantly skating on thin ice regarding copyright issues, so since they have that "zero tolerance" policy, I would be banned before long anyway. It's a wonder I lasted this long.

So, although it seems the existing Pixeldrain links still work, I'd like to find a different file sharing service for future posts, to give an option for people who can't get past the spam of upload.ee. (Although I should note that all you have to do is use the Brave browser, which is a superior browser anyway, and you shouldn't have that problem.) So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
