Early this morning, Malaysian time, video-link aggregator QuickSilverScreen.com's site posted the following message:
This morning we were falsely accused of hosting copyrighted content by the Malaysian government, in result our host (located in Malaysia) asked us to shutdown the QSS main site server.
We still have full control over all our servers and are working with our host & the malaysian government to find a solution for this stupid mistake.
We expect to be up and running within a few hours/days

More to come as the story develops.
