eBay to stop selling Black Metal albums![views:6730][posts:27]_________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:03am - BriXX ""] Paula Hogan of MANIC Music & Distribution and Candlelight Records USA has contacted BLABBERMOUTH.NET to report that "eBay is [allegedly] currently starting a ban on black/extreme metal. A few of our vendors who have sizeable eBay stores are now finding their items pulled down by eBay directly. The list we have compiled so far that have been pulled for sale via any eBay stores or auctions is noted below. I'm sure there are more." Added Dan Ferguson of Indianapolis, IN's Abyss Records: "I had a number of items removed and account suspended by selling black metal. It seems a group of so-called Christians have been reporting black metal bands (even though eBay has black metal as a search genre) as all racist and hateful and discriminatory." The items that were allegedly removed by eBay because they "violated the eBay Hateful or Discriminatory policy" are as follows: BURZUM - Complete 6 LP SET EMPEROR - IX Equilibrium ORIG. LP WOTANORDEN - From The.. CD BURZUM - s/t / Aske DOUBLE LP 1349 - Beyond The CD DARKTHRONE - Panzerfaust CD MAYHEM - Collection 4 LP SET PANTHEON - Krihapentswor CD DARKTHRONE - Total Death CD BURZUM - Draugen CD DVD BURZUM - Daudi Baldrs LP BURZUM - Daudi Baldrs CD ZYKLON B - Blood Must Be Shed CD ARMAGGEDON - Imperium CD EMPEROR - Demo LP 1349 - Hellfire DOUBLE LP DARKTHRONE - Hate Them CD BURZUM - Filosofem DOUBLE LP BURZUM - Hlidskjalf LP BURZUM - Det Som Engang Var DIGI CD CAMULOS / AINSHVAL - Split CD BURZUM - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss LP BURZUM - Det Som Engang Var LP NOKTURNAL MORTUM - Weltanschauung CD SATYRICON - Now, Diabolical CD In eBay's e-mail to Ferguson explaining their decision to remove his listing, they write, "eBay doesn't permit sellers to list items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or racial intolerance. Items that promote organizations with such views are also prohibited. "eBay will judiciously disallow listings or items that promote or glorify hatred, violence or racial intolerance, or items that promote organizations (such as Nazis, neo-Nazis and Aryan Nation) with such views. This policy also applies to listings that offer shipping to countries where certain items may be illegal." To review eBay's list of Prohibited, Questionable, and Infringing items, click here.

| ___________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:13am - litacore ""] WAIT A FUCKIN SECOND and CHRISTIANS never display blatant hatred, racism, intolerance? part of the reason I despise organized religion is its hypocrisy To paraphrase Wrest: DIE FUCKING GOBBLING CHRISTIAN TURDS! YOUR PATHETIC WHIMPERS IGNITE THIS METAL! |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:16am - xmikex ""] I just searched for Burzum.... it yeilded 220 results. One of which included a Darkthrone LP with this in the description: "Notes: Recorded in Creative Studios june, 1993. Grimly produced by Darkthrone. " |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:28am - BriXX ""] If they do this like someone said they better do something about gangst rap albums! |
| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:33am - Yeti ""] that is horribly hilarious. there should be a war of Christians vs. Heathens using only black metal worthy weaponry. oh well, black metal has no place in the mainstream of anything. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:36am - litacore ""] Yeti said:there should be a war of Christians vs. Heathens using only black metal worthy weaponry. hahaha, my weapon is my flying V I would gladly break out the spiked shin guards too, though |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:37am - litacore ""] I've bought from Abyss Records, too. that's why my reaction is so fevered. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:39am - maslayer ""] it's happened to my...it removed Gontyna Kry a couple of times...I think it's more of a random search than blacklisting any one vendor becuase I waited a few weeks, relisted it and it sold |
| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:40am - Yeti ""] i want to make a suit comprised all of spikes like the ones that Gaahl from Gorgoroth uses, and run into some bible thumper convention flailing and thrashing about wildly. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:42am - RichHorror ""] I want to make a suit comprised entirely of water balloons and name it 'Who The Fuck Is Steven?'. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:48am - xmikex ""] Ebay feedback ratings are the ultimate weapon against christianity |
| _______________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:50am - Yeti ""] yet there are so many black metal groups that are far worse than those listed. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 10:54am - watchmaker666 ""] you can't reall argue with the fact that Burzum is racist and hate-filled, have you read the book lords of chaos? But this is obviously a bunch of crap |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:16am - paganmegan ""] yes, this reeks of hypocrisy. Note they don't target the rap bullshit because negros can cry racism and the christian mainstream conservative fucks all back off. Its not like they can stop metal from being sold. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:28am - Abbath ""] jezz good thing i own all those albums |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:37am - paganmegan ""] it won't stop them from being sold, don't worry. If anything this kind of shit just makes people more determined to get their hands on releases and increases the mystique |
| _________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:39am - xmikex ""] [img] THE NEW ALBUM FROM BORKNAGAR |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:41am - paganmegan ""] I knew they were headed in that direction |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 11:56am - RichHorror ""] Someone photoshop Ernie Boch in corpsepaint or I'm downing the puppy. |
| _______________________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 12:52pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Great, now how am I going to sell 14 year old kult kiddies LLN bootlegs for ridiculous prices? That was like my job and shit. |
| ______________________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 12:53pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] All Fundies should be nuked into they glow and the corpse of their savior raped upon an altar of rusted spikes and vinegar. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 12:56pm - niccolai ""] It's good to know they can still sell porno, glow in the dark vibraters, anal beeds, and the Olsen twins' virginity... |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 14,2006 12:57pm - niccolai ""] litacore said:Yeti said:there should be a war of Christians vs. Heathens using only black metal worthy weaponry. hahaha, my weapon is my flying V I would gladly break out the spiked shin guards too, though Does your V really fly... or are you just saying that? |
