"In light of legal proceedings issued by MCD, we have been advised by our solicitors that there is to be no further discussion of MCD or events hosted by MCD".

The MCD ban is indefinite. Probably permanent. If you wish to discuss these events, I'm sure you can find another site to do it.

For some reason I can't find the sticky that was, eh, stickied about not being allowed to talk about artists that MCD had promoted.

Does this mean I can talk about Arcade Fire's album but not the gig I went to see in Sweden (NOT promoted by MCD)?

The ban is of discussion of the company in question, or events hosted/promoted by the company in question.

You may freely talk about bands. You may freely talk about gigs which the company in question do not promote or host.

If you are unsure about discussing a particular gig or event, then google it. Not being on the list Ruu posted, is no excuse. You will still be banned.
