Bar gets 500 DMCA notices following Insane Clown Posse fans' Valentine's show

March 1, 2018

Insane Clown Posse's fans can't seem to catch a break. After being labeled a gang by the FBI, the Juggalos are now being blamed for a bar in Michigan receiving 500 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices for illegal downloads.

And the story gets weirder than that.

During a juggalo Valentine's show (yes, that's a thing) at Mac's Bar in Lansing, Michigan, one of the attendees decided to download Three 6 Mafia's full discography while connected to the venue's Wi-Fi. As a result, the bar received 500 DMCA notices for illegal download.

“We did some detective work and the date lines up with the same night that I had a local juggalo Valentine’s Day hip-hop show,” Scott Bell, who is a talent buyer for the venue, explained the incident explained to Noisey. “Each violation occurred between 9:40 and 10:30 p.m., so what appears to have happened is that somebody was torrenting or downloading from the Mac’s Wi-Fi.”

Bell also shared the notices on Twitter:

Mac’s Bar got served with 500 digital millennium act violations today. Because some juggalo downloaded Three Six Mafias entire discography on our WiFi. Each paper is a song/ 1 violation. �� pic.twitter.com/xjKSxDcISX
