Black Box Access Scam
I recently became aware that Crawling Chaos’s material was available in search results again.
Naturally, I decided to have a look!
Many of the links (some even said ‘verified’!) pointed to Black Box Access who, for a “introductory membership fee” of $4.95 claimed to have a host of links to our stuff.
Big Fat Con
However, I noticed that search results returned exactly what I typed…. which is odd. Very odd indeedy!
The crunch moment came first when I typed our newest remixes, which are tagged with 2011, which also returned results.
I then typed the killer entry to our latest (so far totally fictional release) Shit on Your Tits. This I just made up on the spur of the moment.
Bingo!
They claimed to have a rar file for it, uploaded in the last week and downloaded in excess of 19000 times since!
Also, in a final clue, I accidently clicked on an advert to a webpage that would not go away, producing popup after popup after popup - a clear sign of scamminess.
Big Fucking Cunt Criminal Bastards
I decided to contact this wonderful exercise in criminality by filling in their DMCA claim form! Here’s what I wrote. Needless to say, I don’t expect a reply.
I am the representative for the band Crawling Chaos and request immediate removal of the following links which I believe to contain our copyright works for which we’ve neither received a request nor given permission for your usage on your website.
Downloading of our material on websites such as yours does not constitute “fair usage” under our terms nor that of common or set law. This is because it’s neither there for fair comment or research, plus, you charge for it which means royalties are owed.
I’ve found:
Homunculus Equinox
The Gas Chair
Gas Chair Clown
C
The Big C
Sex Machineon your site.
All our discography can be found here:http://crawlingchaos.co.uk/discography/
The copyright statement is also to be found on that website.
Also, since you claim on the logon screen to have downloaded the above files in excess of 19000 times and that the initial signup fee is $4.95, this comes to a total of approximately $100,000. This money is now due to the surviving members of Crawling Chaos and the heirs of the deceased members. Please contact me at the contact email address to discuss how this will be paid to us.
Conclusion – What Does it All Mean?
- What a bunch of fucking cunts. It’s all fiction. Everything.
- Do you really think that I’m expecting a reply?
- What they’re getting is your financial and email details.
- You’ve been warned!
Ask yourself;
“Do I want to give my details to this bunch of crooks?”
Our Label, Our music, Our Shop
You can of course get our stuff from our wonderful custom shopping experience at Foetus Products. It’s the now-recommended route for all Crawling Chaos aficionados and resellers.
The finale, Spookhouse, will be out early next year.

Goat – Die or DIY?
Do You Know What Gets My Goat?
This site has a privacy policy (where I state that I’m pretty easy going for what people might say about me, The Crawling Chaos or our works – after all, comment is free….) and also a copyright statement which …er…states our copyright….
But what gets my goat is when dizzy anonymous bastards like DieOrDIY (calls himself Nick Allison) talk bullshit for commentary about reams of semi-known bands all under the guise of fair comment when all they do is upload full copyright works without either,
You see, if links were posted to the actual band content from where all music is listen-able and everyone can find out about the band and its music, it’d be great.
You see, if people like Nick took the time to make a video backed by a band’s music, and said where the music came from, that’d be great too.
Nicki's Girly Pique
But he’s done none of that. (Amusingly, in a fit of girly pique while I’ve been internet-free for a month, he’s pulled his commentary and then has the sheer gall to suggest that we contact him to ask him if he’ll give us a backlink! I tell you Nicki, try points 1, 2 and 3 above before jumping on your high horse. Go on. I dare you. And while you’re at it, read the first paragraph above clearly. You’ll then see that it’s not what you say about us that counts – it’s what you do. For those that doubt this, I posted his commentary in the original post below. This is what Nicki now hypocritically and distorting-the-truth-ly says:
You’ll see his/her words are either in compete contradiction or a distortion of what I said.)
Lack of Honesty, Lack of Care, Lack of Integrity
Shoddy Diy Or Die
But you see Nick, (and there are loads like “him” (he may be a girl for all I know as there are no personal details at all)),
…all to a file sharing website.
After all, his hidden persona drips out comment into the intertubes, not once referring to any artist directly but instead pointing us to their ripped-off content. His only creation is his pointless drivel, struggling to say something when not much needs to be said. If he chooses to fuck off back to the darkness, as many have done before him, he’ll go. I’ve seen them many times.
Meanwhile, all the ripped-off artists remain.
Nicks says,
Shop
As for The Crawling Chaos, we have a shop. We sell stuff. Sort of.
But amazingly, you can preview all content before buying without even stealing it – how amazing is that!
