Very true. It's a shame that they don't let things like this go on. Life's too short to deprive people of things they have no other way of getting, like rare Doctor Who themes from 20 years ago plus.

That had occurred to me... if I'd been away from my e-mail even for a day, they may have filed a lawsuit or something just because I couldn't get to my e-mail! I really think that was unfair of them. The least they can do is give me 48 hours worth of notice or more... surely that's not unreasonable.

I have no firsthand experience regarding this but it strikes me as a bit surprising. What sort of stuff do they allow to go on? Anything comparable to what I was doing?

I agree, but in the end, they know the people they go after for doing things like this are the diehard fans and will always watch the show anyway, so they don't lose out in the end... and even if they did, it would only be a very small handful of viewers lost to them.

Agreed. I'll miss having it around... I put a lot of time and effort into collecting all those themes together, and it was always a high priority because I knew so many people counted on me and enjoyed the site. But all good things must come to an end.
