It looks like their DNS servers are offline. The domain is still registered
and active so it's most likely that their ISP has decided to stop hosting
for them. The could go to another DNS host so it should hopefull be back up
soon.
They may have just shut down... I've given them $30 and had about $12 still
on account, but I definately got my money's worth. My credit card is VERY
limited for this very reason, so I'm not worried at all.
I sure hope that they come back online. It was a very handy service.
I don't know how legal they are, but there have been a number of legal
discussions that state that they are OK. I wish the record companies would
learn from this example instead of just ripping everyone off with high
prices and blank media levies, etc.
