"The" site http://www.synthdiy.com was most probably "hacked" by under
1500 Bytes of payload, because blaa blaa blaa. Now it's down.

This site was a collection of information (images, PDFs) from thee
Internet, without original content at all with schematics ect. taken
out of its original context like description of the circuit operation
for example. Nice. Just nice.

And when Google hits http://www.synthdiy.com before the original site,
where ALL the information is... meh piss3d. At least possible source
was mentioned as a name, but not linked to.

"Fair Use" - when somebody dares to include (maybe copyrighted
schematics scanned by him/he) original content to the Internet, it
isn't "Fair Use" to copy that material to Your "site". Getting clear
enough about the off topic?
