Just in from the good folks at live365.com. Looks like MashuptownRadio.com just bit the dust.

If you paid Live365 any money to host your stream, they should return the funds. I doubt if they will but they should because if you paid then they collected funds based on Illegal activity. Consult an Attorney!
