**BREAKING**

Live.Berkeley.Edu, the popular student group registration tool, is offline after blatantly stealing asuc.org and pointing it towards their own site. Live was retaliating for asuc.org stealing their posted events and putting them on their own ASUC Connect listing.

Live found out when they posted a fake event on their own site, only to see it on asuc.org shortly thereafter.

Here's asuc.org's statement.

"UCB Live!", an events website sponsored by the Computer Science and Business Association (CSBA), recently and maliciously redirected traffic from www.asuc.org to their website because of alleged event stealing.

The ASUC sees this claim as unfounded. Firstly, events put on by student groups on the UC Berkeley campus are not owned by any one website or association, making any copyright attempt on that information meaningless. Secondly, event information is often posted by a student group to several websites simultaneously, further emphasizing the fact that student groups want their publicity to reach as far as possible, not be restricted to one website.

Live! is advised to take up any further issues with the ASUC through the proper contact channels instead of making unprofessional attacks on asuc.org.

We apologize for any inconvenience this disruption may have caused.

asuc.org is being petty, since they stole CSBA's work without giving them any credit, which is all Live was looking for. But Live went beyond petty with their hack. Stealing a website name is criminal. It's no wonder they've been taken down.

Both CSBA, Live, and FinalDistance point to asuc.org now.Email This Post!
