First off, I have no idea why you think AJ's website would be any more equipped to handle the overwhelming demand? I've been on his site when it shit the band during a highly demanded item. Port Merchandise has been a great vendor and is no rookie in e-commerce. Just unfortunate that the demand knocked it out for a but. But frankly, same thing happens to LiveNation, Ticketmaster and even Nugs.net with a big surge.

So, how great was the demand? There were 140 posters, 2 each, 70 people minimum could buy. More if folks only bought one. Are you saying 100's or thousands of people crashed the server? Port Merchandise is no rookie, but they could not anticipate demand and set up servers properly? That's odd? There must be a Service Level Agreement .Net has in place if they are a vendor. They should be aware of the size of drops and be prepared or financially liable if they cannot meet expectations, no? I work in Finance, I know how it works. Demand was not anticipated (no clue how, given how hyped you and A.J. made it) or the vendor can't handle a simple poster drop? Something is not adding up? If they are no rookie, how come some people cracked their codes yesterday?
