Incorrect link

The DMOZ listing for audiotraining.com links to a company called "REI". The company "Audio Recording Technology Institute" was sold and the name is protected under trademark. Please remove DMOZ links for Audio Recording Technology Institute" which link to "audiotraining.com.

Thanks

oink.me.uk

hello there

I want to ask you to remove the site http://oink.me.uk from your index.
It's listed under http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/.../BitTorrent/Torrent_Directories_and_Trackers/
and its description says "Searchable directory of audio torrents: music albums, ebooks, and audio books. With forum and tracker.", wich clearly violates your rule:
Following these guidelines, editors should not use terms for subcategory names that would incorrectly suggest a category contains links to illegal content (e.g., "Warez" or "Bootlegs") or advocacy of illegal activity. Similarly, ODP descriptions should not suggest that a listed site will help users commit illegal acts or obtain illegal content (e.g., pirated software or music), as such descriptions could incorrectly suggest an intent by an individual editor or the ODP to promote the commission of such acts or distribution of such materials.

It would be great if somebody would change the description to "Because "moo" just doesn't sound right" (which is their current meta description) but it would also be good if the site was removed at all.

Thank you in advance, Lars

Re: #2989

I don't have a login for the site so I really can't judge its content properly but the description in and of itself you have referenced does not violate the said guideline. The site may or may not be listable but the description (if it matches the site) is quite innocuous. Torrents are leagl and have many legitimate uses, and there is a lot of music, e-books and audio books that are legitimately distributable for free. The criteria in this case would be the actual content of the site.

thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry but I can't provide you with an account for the moment. I managed to upload a screenshot of their current top10 in the Win Apps Category which can be found here: http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild1vh6.png

This should make clear that that site is not quite legal.

Please also consider that I do not have any malicious thoughts. I'm just a member of that site and wanted to help a little since the admins already have many many things to do. After they found out about the text google lists for that domain they tried to change that by using another meta description.
But, as it turned out, google takes the data from dmoz which is why I'm here to change that. Just wanted to clarify that :)

If the screenshot is not enough, please tell me what is needed to remove the page from the dmoz index. Nobody affiliated with that site wants it to be listed and there should be a way.
