70,000 blogs shut down

Blogetry.com, home to about 70,000 users, was shut down last week. Blogetry.com's host, Burst.net, decided to pull the plug on the site after getting an urgent request from the FBI. The reason for the immediate discontinuing of Blogetry's service was initially unknown or very sketchy, some speculating about copyright infringements, and there was no prior warning  given from Burst.net to to the user(s) of the page(s) that was in violation of the User Agreement.

A few days ago though, further information from Burst.net was released listing that the reason for shutting down Blogetry.com was that terrorist material was hosted on the site, including manuals on how to make bombs and also supposedly  an al-Qaeda hitlist naming targets to be eliminated.
