(13:41:37) Florian: so right
(13:41:52) Florian: i got in touch with the sales reps for the hosting facility where 13th floor lives

(13:48:41) p337: .... ???? (waiting for the punchline)
(13:48:52) Florian: they wrote me back saying that the special rate prices were only available to people who were using open/free software to provide free software solutions to their respective communities
(13:48:59) Florian: they asked if we fit this description
(13:49:54) p337: ok
(13:50:01) Florian: i said we did
(13:50:52) Florian: that we were building an application to provide a collaboration platform to musicians and digital artists working in various parts of the country. that the server would be running debian and that the service would be provided to our community for free.
(13:51:12) Florian: they wrote me back, saying that they could not offer us special hosting prices, in fact, they can't even host our server
(13:51:33) Florian: they were recently sued by the RIAA over copyrighted media being found on a server they host
(13:51:37) Florian: they settled out of court
(13:52:01) Florian: part of their settlement prohibits them from knowingly hosting audio or video content providers of any sort
