MatrixM.com

Hello. Has anyone tried to view the MatrixM.com website lately? It is a great site but I haven't been able to get it latley. It makes you wonder if they took the money and ran. I like many other people have a prepaid account there. If anyone knows whats going on with them please let me know. Thanks!!!

 

Thanks for the info. I tried to email the addresses but they got returned as soon as I sent them. I tried to call the phone numbers. The first one said the call wouldn't go thru and the second one just kept ringing. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks!!!!

 

Well no luck today. If anyone else knows whats going on with them please let me know. It seems to me like they are trying to just dissapear.

 

I've been trying to get the site to load for about two weeks now...no luck. I've searched the web looking for any clue...no luck.

Will keep looking

 

Recently found this article, maybe it has something to do with the disappearence of MatrixM:

Eninem Sliences His music for Ringtones

Eminem & Michigan-based Eight Mile Style and Martin Affiliated filed a lawsuit earlier this year against five companies to prohibit them from illegally selling songs by the artist, also known as Marshall Mathers, as ringtones on the internet.
Last week, Eminem and his legal posse settled with one of the companies - Cellus, a Colorado-based company - and U.S. District Court Judge Gerald E. Rosen approved the deal Tuesday, according to The Detroit News.



Eminem’s battles are far from over though with FanMobile, myPhonefiles, and MatrixM the next legal targets in the Grammy-winning rapper’s sights. One of the other companies in the initial suit - Nextones.com, a company based out of New York - never responded to legal notices and Judge Rosen filed a default judgment totaling $195,000 for Eminem. After the initial five companies, Eminem’s attorneys added a sixth copyright infringer to the list with Florida-based Phattones Media Productions.



Ringtones are a big game and one that’s growing with a recent study by Jupiter Research claiming that profits from the industry could reach almost three-quarters of a billion dollars in just three years from their $217 million last year. Hit-tracker Billboard even added a ringtone chart recently, truly cementing the cultural phenomenon, but also forcing artists to pay more attention to who may be illegally making money off their compositions.



Howard Hertz, an attorney for Marshall Mathers, wouldn’t say if Cellus paid any money, only that they had agreed to stop distributing the Eminem songs and added a polite “we came to an amicable agreement,” according to the BBC.



Cellus lawyer Mary Margaret O’Donnell wouldn’t elaborate on the deal, saying that “the provisions of the agreement are confidential,” according to E Online.



The next ringtone company likely to fall prey to Eminem’s wicked legal styles? myPhonefiles, whose representative, Jill Wheaton told MTV.com that they were close to reaching a settlement with the Eminem camp.



Legal battles have been almost as big a part of Marshall Mathers’ career as his music with a settlement with Apple last year over an Eminem song used in one of the company’s iTunes commercials without permission and, before that, legal action against Source Magazine to stop them from publishing racially charged lyrics from Eminem’s past.



Your Cingular phone isn’t Eminem’s only target as Howard Hertz also revealed his intention to ruin your “Lose Yourself” or “Slim Shady” stylings at the local karaoke bar by taking on distributors who sell Eminem songs to the popular format without the right license. Those legal actions should be coming in the next few months, probably before another Eminem album. Curtain call indeed.
