I appreciate the support and sympathy regarding us being censored by Ourstage , but there is more that can be done. I know that a lot of the Ourstage community has had many concerns even before we were censored and a lot of distrust for the people running Ourstage. They were right!

You can help! Just add the URL of our site to comments to songs and music videos and to fan sites if you have an account on Ourstage. People need to be made aware of what corruption is at Ourstage.
