My initial reaction was "WTF is that doing on HN?":

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Mix:

"However in 2010, Mixriot, a website which hosted stream and download links to past Essential Mix broadcasts dating back to the first ever edition for its members, was asked to remove all its past recordings by production company Somethin' Else due to copyright infringement. The Mixriot website is still live though it has since taken down all Essential Mix broadcasts."

I would expect the owner of that site to be getting a nasty letter from a lawyer Real Soon Now.

I guess some "Hackers" think that copyright law is for other people to obey.
