The Podfather Scandal
In May 2008, Ricky Gervais decided to re-release The Podfather Trilogy podcasts and charge people for them. Pilkipedia had been openly sharing these podcasts because they were 1) free and 2) "a thank you to the fans". Consequently, Glyn Hughes sent an email to Pilkipedia's hosting company and Pilkipedia had its account suspended. It was only after Glyn Hughes had contacted the hosting company that he thought to send a message directly to Pilkipedia. After a whole entire day offline, Pilkipedia was allowed to return but without the links to the Podfather podcast.
Note: Pilkipedia has never broken the law. No files are hosted on the site and it's not illegal to host links to third party sites. Furthermore, Pilkipedia has always protected Gervais' copyright and his profits by forbidding commercially available material to be traded on its site.
Following these events, Glyn Hughes became the focus of intense criticism on the Pilkipedia forums [1], but has since helped Pilkipedia by giving us info about the NME Radio Show.
