During 8 month, when i enter allmusic and other your site(like allmovie), i cant use site and only see one screen writed "allmusic is being updated. Hold tight!!"

Shall you solve this problem?

We've blocked large numbers of IP addresses in South Korea due to the fact that we have had many many scrapers and bots hit our site from those IP ranges. When these bots and scrapers hit our site at high volume, it falsely increases the load on our servers, slows down the site and costs us a lot of money in hardware expenses.

For these reasons, unfortunately we've had to take some extreme measures to protect our properties. I wish we had a better solution for you, but unfortunately this was the way we were able to block the bad agents who were causing us damage.

Seems that my IP address also got blocked. Recently my ISP changed my IP address, after which allmusic stopped working.

Please unblock my IP 93.171.128.9

I'm having the same issue. I'm also in South Korea. Allmusic only works for me if I use a VPN.

It is possible that due to a high number of scrapers and bots, we have blocked the IP range your IP address is in.

Here is my URL that you can try. I also live in South Korea, and I haven't been able to access Allmusic site for years now, I seriously mean "years!"  I kinda gave up on it for a while, then decided it to try again today. Still no luck.
It always says the exact same thing like the first person mentioned on this thread - "AllMusic is being updated. Hold tight."

Hope what I have sent you can give us some solution. I miss using your site! 

Thanks!
