DimeTOS:Not Allowed Artists and Bands
From DimeWiki
Recordings of these artists and bands may not be shared using DIME's tracker. A torrent must comply with DIME's policies for permitted torrents and DIME's NAV List as well as this listing in order to be allowed on DIME.
Individual artists, and groups bearing the full name of a member, are listed under the person's surname. For examples, John Doe, or John Doe's Bucks, or John Doe and the Fawns would be under D. But the John Doe Antlerfighters would be under both J and D, because collectors differ on where to put band names like those.
