EBAY: People selling DJ's mixes...Right or wrong?

[RDR]

i emailled the cnut and got this back

well its time to be very very ****ing suprised! I dont understand why you would ask such a stupid ****ing question. Its hurting me to let these packs go, as they hold amazing memories of some of the nights i went to kinetic!

I was a weekly attendee of the best club of its time, Kinetic was what i lived for.

Now either put a bid on this ORIGINAL tape pack or stop wasting my time with petty comments!"

I sent this back...

My apologies.

Posted a question to the wrong person, clearly.

Hang on, ill just check..

Hmmm, dont think so MATE what about those DAve the Drummer Mixes etc etc etc

Dont play innocent mate, im part of the music industry and its ****ers like you who are taking bread from my mouth and the mouths of my friends industry wide.

dont give a shit about your original mix tapes. but the recorded sets???? Get them gone. NOW otherwise i WILL inform ebay, this is your last warning.


Do you think i made a friend?

i asked him a question the other day, i asked, does he know what hes doing is illegal

his reply today is.....................

I sell them on the understanding that they are back ups for original copies.

I beleive it is a legal loophole.

If i'm wrong then please let me know.

To be fair, I think he's got us there.

I exploit the same loophole to sell crack, guns and east african children.

[TechMouse]

The fact that anyone might use the word "loophole" implies that they know they're doing wrong, they just don't care...

[schlongfingers]

Thats flawed as **** because these aren't legal releases are they, they aren't sold as original copies.

He's at risk of prosecution from all the owners of copyright to the tracks featured on the mixes - someone should get a tracklisting and contact the labels if they really want to screw him over.

OY leave me out of this, wasn't me

[DJAmok]

In Germany it's 5 years of prison for doin that

[MARKEG]

my immediate response is to say 'totally wrong'.

and i really felt what dave the d was saying.

but the real response should be HOW DO WE COMBAT THIS??

we can all moan it's the wrong thing to do but, it's happening, and it will keep happening and there's NOTHING we can do.

so rethink the goal posts. henry, if some guy is selling you mixes on ebay pirated well if you can't beat him join him. you have to set up an account, mix the mix yourself, print some nice sleeves and sell it as an original from you personally for twice the price.

we need to sort this and stop moaning (sorry to use this expression)....

you're all probably gonna have a go at me here.. but we all gotta get real ;)

Yeah, you could still sell those mixes for less than a commcercial CD store would sell any CD. The other benefit is that you earn the revenue instead of having a pile of middlemen between you and the store taking your cash away from you.

If he's signed up with ebay, he'll have his details on there somewhere (even if it means you have to bid on the item and win it)

Get the contact info and send some legal documents to him.

This is straight up piracy... Only thing I'm worried about is him saying that he didn't make the recording(s) and that he is only selling a cd which he aquired from elsewhere... and many people sell second hand cd's on ebay.

All you lawyers on here, would he get away with it?

The licensing would be fun....

I don't know what mix this bloke had for sale, but if it is one from ReFresh (there have been two), then it was available on my site for a limited time. I always ask the dj's for permission to have the mixes available for download, and mostly they are OK with it, and if not then it doesn't go up. I only have them available for a limited time, then the next one goes up. The first of Henry's sets was actually only available for a very short time, as it was so popular (mainly in south america) that my ISP took my site down as I was abusing my bandwidth priviledges :lol:. I had offsite hosting for mixes after that and the second one was hosted there, again only for a limited time.

Just to clarify, I know Henry's said, in this thread, that he doesn't agree with mixes on sites, but he defo OK'd them at the time :)
