Music pirates will have to find another spot to get their fix because file sharing site Sharebeast has been shut down by the Department of Justice, for distributing "a massive library of popular albums and tracks" before their release, according to Billboard.
Users who visit the site are now greeted by an FBI Anti-Piracy Warning
“This is a huge win for the music community and legitimate music services. Sharebeast operated with flagrant disregard for the rights of artists and labels while undermining the legal marketplace. “Millions of users accessed songs from Sharebeast each month without one penny of compensation going to countless artists, songwriters, labels and others who created the music. We are grateful to the FBI and the Department of Justice for its strong stand against Sharebeast and for recognizing that these types of illicit sites wreak major damage on the music community and hinder fans’ legitimate listening options.”
The news shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Nonetheless, Twitter users are bummed out.

So many people talk about being "real." But what exactly does that mean? Is it taking care of your family? Following a certain code of the streets? Or simply being a person that carries themselves with honor?
DJ Smallz Eyes correspondent Ayisha caught up with Kid Ink to get his definition.
"The definition of being real--just doing what you wanna do," Kid said. "Not really focusing on what everyone else has to say. Whether it be your craft or your mindset. Day to day just going what you gotta do to speak to the people you need to speak to."

Hall of Fame NBA player Moses Malone passed away Sunday, September 13, at the of 60, according to ESPN.
Malone is widely considered to be one of the top centers to ever play the game.
During his 19 seasons in the league, Malone scored 27,409 points, grabbed 16,212 rebounds and blocked 1,733 shots, during the regular season. He was a three-time NBA MVP. In 1996, Malone was named one of the league's 50 greatest players.
The man known as "The Chairman of the Boards" led thePhiladelphia 76ersto a championship in 1983, where he was named MVP.
"It is with a deep sense of sadness that the Sixers family mourns the sudden loss of Moses Malone. It is difficult to express what his contributions to this organization -- both as a friend and player -- have meant to us, the city of Philadelphia and his faithful fans," the 76ers said in a statement Sunday. "Moses holds a special place in our hearts and will forever be remembered as a genuine icon and pillar of the most storied era in the history of Philadelphia 76ers basketball. No one person has ever conveyed more with so few words - including three of the most iconic in this city's history. His generosity, towering personality and incomparable sense of humor will truly be missed. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers and as we are once again reminded of the preciousness of life."
Malone also played for the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Bullets, Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs in his career.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — His career winding down to its final seconds, Floyd Mayweather Jr. took a victory lap around the ring, his fist raised in triumph.
After 19 years of perfection in the ring, he deserved one final bow.
Mayweather capped a remarkable career with a typical Mayweather fight Saturday night, using his defensive wizardry to frustrate Andre Berto on his way to a decision so lopsided one judge gave him every round.
The $32 million he earned was pocket change compared to what he got for Manny Pacquiao in his last fight. But the more important number was win No. 49 in the final fight of his unblemished career, tying the mark of the late heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano.
"You gotta know when to go. I've had a great career," Mayweather said. "I'm leaving with all my faculties. I feel like I'm smart and sharp."
Mayweather wasn't about to change what he does best in his last fight.
Both dominant and defensive, he used all the tricks learned in a pro career that began in 1996 to take a unanimous decision over Berto and retain his welterweight titles in what he insists was his final fight.
Mayweather won yet again in a fight where he was chased but never really tested. He piled up points with a sharp jab and quick counter punches, leaving Berto swinging at air most of the night.
"What can I say, I was the better man tonight," Mayweather said.
By the late rounds, Mayweather was both talking to Berto (30-4) and taunting him, secure in the knowledge he was winning big against the 18-1 underdog. In the final seconds of the fight he took a victory lap, as the crowd of 13,395 stood and cheered at the MGM Grand arena.
The ringside scorecards reflected Mayweather's dominance, with one judge scoring a 120-108 shutout. The other scores were 118-110 and 117-111, while The Associated Press had Mayweather winning 119-109.
Mayweather added to his pay-per-view riches once again, and once again he didn't seem to have to work too hard to make it. Berto, who had lost three of his last six fights, tried to make it a fight but his punches were wide and mostly missed their marks.
"I pushed him to the limit," Berto said. "But he was just better."
Mayweather did what he's done best in his long career, fighting defensively and picking his shots against Berto. He was especially effective when Berto rushed at him, using his counter punching skills to keep Berto away.
It was a winning combination once again, just as it had been in his 48 previous fights.
Mayweather had vowed to give fans an action fight in his last bout, after being criticized for fighting defensively in his win over Manny Pacquiao. He did trade punches with Berto on several occasions, but never stayed in the pocket long enough for Berto to find his mark.
Mayweather complained to his father in the corner during the fight that he hurt his hand, but said since he is retiring it didn't matter.
Ringside punch stats showed Mayweather's defensive wizardry. Mayweather was credited with landing 232 of 410 punches, while Berto landed only 83 of 495.
"I was in great shape but it was difficult to fight him," Berto said. "He was really, really slippery."
Mayweather weighed in at 146 pounds, a pound more than Berto.
Mayweather, in his 26th title fight, controlled the action all night, now allowing Berto to land more than one punch at a time. He was never able to hurt Berto, though, and passed up chances to engage him in exchanges.
Berto was surprisingly passive early, doing little in the opening rounds but throw punches that hit nothing but air. He picked up the pace beginning in the fourth round, but Mayweather had little trouble ducking and moving away from his wild punches.
By the 10th round were talking so much trash that referee Kenny Bayless called a halt to the action and told both fighters they needed to shut up.
If Mayweather retires it will end a career that saw him become a pay-per-view star and earn more money than any boxer before him. Though most in boxing believe he will some day fight again, the 38-year-old said he had plenty of money and his health is more important than chasing records.
"I've accomplished everything," Mayweather said. "I've done everything in my sport."

Despite his beef with Meek Mill earlier this year, Ar-Ab said that he would check friends for talking trash about his fellow Philly rapper in the past, which was confirmed by Dark Lo. Ab told us that he never had a problem with Meek before the "Lord Knows" emcee screamed out "f*ck Ar-Ab," at a stop on The Pink Print tour, but that incident changed everything.
Speaking more on the topic Ar-Ab told us that he was offered $100,000 to record a diss against Meek, but the Philly emcee said that he didn't feel it was right, because he truly didn't have a problem with Meek. He even pointed out that he would call Meek directly to hash out any lyrics that people around him were telling Ar-Ab were subliminal disses, which is why the "Pocket Full of Money" emcee was so caught off guard by Meek's diss.
