Did anyone else migrate from SickrageTV/Sickrage to the Sickrage/Sickrage fork? There was a DMCA notice by SickrageTV/Sickrage author and now I'm not sure where I should go from here. Not to mention my web GUI broke (which is the reason I learned about the DMCA, since I couldn't pull up the wiki on github)

I'm probably going to end up on Sonarr but I wanted to know if anyone has successfully ported their db back from Sickrage to SickrageTV repo, or if anyone else is still holding out for SR/SR team...

Its should be back up in 5 days or so.

Here the short form of whats going on.

Ok after some digging and chatting here whats going on.

Echelon one of the original guys back when the sickrage fork went on a power trip some time back and most of the development team left to make the present fork we are using now.

His behavior was childish at best and now hte filed s DMCA claim against sickrage, sickgear and medusa which are all forks of the sickbread program in one form or another.

His claim is that they removed his name and comments from work he did on sickrage which the others are based on.
It is true that his name and comments where removed which seems on the surface that he has a valid claim.
But if you know the history of sickrage or dig just a little deeper you find out what a piece of work the guy is as and that the work actually belongs to a chap named midgetspy.
This is hardly some great secret and something that github is likely aware of already and is quite possibly going to get echelon banned from github.
His named was removed by the other developers and restored back to midgetspy

Its been 4 days or so since the DMCA's were done and Echelon has a max of 10 days to file in court or things are dropped and return to normal.

This is a case of childish behavior from someone who lacks maturity and frankly common sense.
