MAME.NET and MAMEWORLD problems?

[JLR2000]

Anyone else getting this?:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.mame.net/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.
Your cache administrator is root.

This co-insides with emugaming.com going down... Mass emulation lawsuits? Multiple servers going down? Backbone link going dead?(Worldcom)

Since Mame isn't a US project, it shouldn't have to comply with DCMA, but if the website was hosted on a US server the download might be legally blocked...

Zophar.net isn't coming up for me either...

Scary, this is why this site is 'Build Your Own Arcade Controls' and not 'Build Your Own MAME Controls', companies got sue crazy in the '90s about emulation. I think the manifesto still states this site is about making controllers for *any* software, not just emulators(which is true of course).
