Mage was closed because of DMCA

by BetaSteward:
"Well it's finally happened. We are now proud members of the DMCA takedown notice club. I guess it's a sign that we have become popular enough to draw the notice of the big boys. 

There really isn't any infringing material in MAGE but that doesn't stop someone from saying that there is. That's the tragic flaw in the DMCA. Enforcement occurs before guilt is established. You're guilty until you prove your innocence. We could fight them in the official channels but that requires deeper pockets and more available time than I have. 

So we are going to move our operation to a location that is not within the DMCA's jurisdiction. We are looking at options and will let you know when we have a new source repository and download site.

Stay tuned for more info."



Yep, that's true. Mage Google code page is not available anymore.
As for me this DMCA wasn't fair but we can't do anything against such big companies so probably searching for new home is the best solution for now.

Too bad what happened with your project was very good, now I wonder if you still have the code I'm testing a hosting server and I've run well with all types of content, if you send me the code will try to make it run a week and you let you know if I can do it otherwise you notice that I have released the code for copyright or DMCA. If you send me a message with the code or nfs_draconio@hotmail.com hosting link please (I speak Spanish but understand English as well), my intention is that your project can proceed.
