the same is true within the styles of music that I like. It was compounded by the fact the other centralized file hosts, like Rapidshare and Mediafire, were forced to delete TONS of content on the same day that Megaupload folded.
There are many obscure demos, rehearsals, etc. that disappeared from the internet and most haven't reappeared since. I knew some bloggers who had uploaded probably in the range of 5000-10000 old metal demos, and these guys were careful to not post copyrighted material, but it seemed like if they got even a single strike against their account, everything was deleted.
I hope someone imaged those servers, otherwise a lot of that content might be lost forever.
