music is not ( supposed to be) free!!!!

[davethedrummer]

and it never will be
so get that through your thick heads
all you people who download tracks from illegal sources
just this weekend i discovered all my new releases are on soulseek already before they have been released.

all i can say is
f@@@ck you you F@cking c@nts !!!!!

stealing my music is like robbing my house
don't expect any sympathy from me.

so you are poor

ahhhhhhhhh diddums ..........aren't we all???

so you are on the dole...........hahahaha.....i was on the dole for ten years !!!!!! ten years man!!!! don't tell me what it's like to be poor.

illegal downloads are the END of underground music

henry i could,nt agree more I don,t produce myself yet im working on it but i would chop the bastards fingers off if i found people doing that it must be a real kick in the balls when you put all that work into a tune for some halfwit t-wat to steal it I hate thiefs why can,t the music industry as a whole do something about it & get rid of file sharing site,s for good are they not illiegal with all copy right etc ??

thats rough man.....i mean a dj set is fair game as far as I'm concerned - but brand new product is a different story. It would seem that you're going to have to stop any mp3 samples and get onto this digital download thing for money pronto (i know truelove have started this, and juno are now offering a similar thing.) how did this stuff get there? surely not from anybody who has access to the original masters or tp's? in which case it must be from samples from your site? i think most people who are into downloading would rather the proper high rip rate fully intact original for a small fee???

10 years on the dole? slacker :cheese: :cheese:

[lunatrick]

ok just a thought.......and I realise I'm playing devils advocate here, but I do seem to remember one of the 'it's not intelligent' series having a graphic saying 'home taping is killing the music industry - good job too - tape this for your mate if he can't afford to buy it'......seems some people are now taking this to ultimate extreme! unfortunately technology has advanced this principle to another level?

[dan the acid man]

it never ceases to amaze me how selfish people can be, to steal from people who are struggling to help keep the scene alive is shocking

[RDR]

I expect you will be taking legal action henry?

[koma]

how did it get online before releasing?
someone ripped promos?

[The Teknoist]

yeh man, my Planet Mu release popped up on soulseek just before it was released and today i found a site that was giving away mp3s of 10 of my tracks that had been released. The cheek of having a top ten 'The Teknoist tracks' and just putting them there to download...

[Miromiric]

i don`t see where`s the problem. so, someone ripped promos? boo****inghoo.
now you will sell 1500 instead of 1800 records or whatever.

[echodek]

no one should steal music... but things do seem to be changing. new netlabels are popping up every day that allow free, legal, downloads. at the moment, most of these netlabels are serving up cold tripe... but the quality and diversity is improving all the time and the way people source their music is changing.

i'm sure most people, like me, are more than happy to pay for good music, but are even happier when someone gives it away... But only with the artist's consent of course!

but these people aren't doing it for a living (well im guessing they're not, as they'd have no income coming in).

so when you have mouths to feed, bills to pay, trying to keep record labels going, you can expect to be pissed off when somebody steals your work

yeah right

you know what your talking about don't you ?

[davethedrummer]

sorry to come up so angry about this earlier
but it really did my head in
and to top it off i was with a guy who had downloaded my trax
in spain this weekend, and he didn't seem to think it was wrong.
i really couldn't get into it with him
as he was playing for the guys i was working for and it would've got heated if i had.
the guy did apologise in the end after i kind of gave him a
" you are stealing my music " kind of look.
and he turned out to be nice enough
but the point is
how many other guys are doing it?
especially in countries where vinyl is dissapearing
and what can be done about it ?

[eyeswithoutaface]

be extra vigilant who you give promo's too? do some net-only releases now and then to balance out the loss on vinyl earnings?

it's a shitter definately, id of personally lamped the guy in question mate heated or not, what a clown

[dan the acid man]

i don't think you can stop it now, like eyes said, just be careful who gets a promo.
it's crazy that some people just don't think doing this is wrong
