Where did the music go?

The moderated mp3 portal site - mp3megamart.com (Stairway to Heaven) suddenly became a porn site a few days ago. Anyone know what's going on?

The site was originally hosted in New Orleans, LA as per the whois records. I'm guessing the host's DNS servers were messed up and that's why the site is currently pointing to a wrong domain name.

Although the domain contact email address indicates something shady. Hmm.

I don't have a definitive answer, but I noticed they're hosted with DirectNIC in New Orleans. I bet there's a lot of room for screwups around there right now, whether accidental or via people trying to take advantage of the confusion.

DirectNIC has had some problems, to put it mildly. You can read about their adventures here
