On the heels of the closure of Argentine file-sharing site Qsound, international labels body IFPI announced the shutdown of two more sites in Argentina.

Zona-mp3.com.ar, which had nearly 11,000 users and more than 2,000 postings of mostly local rock repertoire, was shut down after local labels organization CAPIF notified the site?s Internet service provider.

Deathvalley.com.ar had about 30,000 members and was mostly dedicated to pirated music content by international artists. Deathvalley.com.ar had replaced emep3.com.ar, which had been taken down two weeks ago.
