Music industry nemesis returns from the grave
August 3rd, 2007 • Music, Social, Video
I was involved in a short-lived music magazine called Rip & Burn. As we prepared for launch, we did the sensible thing, and asked groups of music downloaders what they thought of the concept behind the mag (a guide to the best new legal MP3 music).
In one of the sessions, a fairly vocal 25 year old said it would never work. ‘You only need one site,’ he stated firmly. ‘Supernova. To be honest, I really don’t need much else in my life except for that site.’
And now, it looks like Supernova is back. Today, one of the world’s largest torrent sites, The Pirate Bay, announced that Supernova is to be relaunched. Cut to the scene of the thousand music industry executives threatening to jump.
‘Sloncek,’ the former owner of Suprnova, will remain active in the new site through the forums that will be hosted on a separate domain. He has donated the domain to the project, however he has attached several conditions to its use: The new Suprnova needs to retain the old design and feel, although the new owners can upgrade it. Additionally, the site needs to be public and not private.
