Client IP blocked

Hi, for about a week now, when I navigate to allmusic.com, I see the normal layout of allmusic but full of this message:

Error: Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /home/homepageAjax/2 from this server.

Error: Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /home/homepageAjax/3 from this server.

 ...

etc. If I click on any of the links, I get for example:

Error: Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /album/rodrigo-y-gabriela-mw0000552855 from this server.

Looks like my IP got auto-banned for some reason, it is bizarre. I have no issues with any other website, and I have a regular allmusic account I have been using for years and years.

I don't want to share the public IP address here in the open thread but if I get PM'd by an admin I will reply with it.

Please fix this.

Hi Ari,

We've been hit with a ton of scrapers and bots over the past several months and have had to resort to banning IPs to keep the site up and running.

Please shoot us an email at support (at) allmusic (dot) com, and could you please go to this page and send us the URL it creates for you (next to the green button that says "Copy")
