Help! My History Has Been Stolen
When I was 19 I started a business called Musical Revolution. The aim was to sell independent music online, similar to what CDBaby has succeeded with. Long story short, the business changed paths (resulting in Frusic) and the website ceased to exist. While I shouldn’t have let the domain expire, I always enjoyed having access to the history of my site via the Wayback Machine. Now someone had the great idea to purchase my domain as a business opportunity, most likely hoping that I would want to buy my domain name back. If you go check out the site as it exists today, you can see the lovely landing page. Also, the company that snatched up the domain had the great idea to add a robots.txt file that effectively prevents the Wayback Machine from archiving the site. While business-wise it was a smart move on their part, it’s definitely annoying. I want my history back!
