mp3's-publicity or piracy part 2

[Adey]

Im just trying to piont out that kids are in to mp3s and not records,cds,tapes or minidisk.

thats coz records,cd's,tapes and minidisks cost money. something kids dont have a lot of. ;)

its more to do with the fact that they have MP3 players

[Adey]

not good tracks include dozens of glen wilson's tracks that are sitting on my hard drive (along with a heap of others) that I haven't paid a single cent for cus I wouldn't wipe my arse with them

go on then, sudoku-boy. If you weren't dissing Glenn Wilison, who were you dissing? and pirating their releases. eh?

[dan the acid man]

if you want a preview of a track to know whether to waste your cash or not as you put it, why dont you do what the rest of us do, go to a record shop and listen, or listen to the mp3 previews on an online shop.

if you really dont like those glen wilson songs you've downloaded for free and stolen (or which ever other artist is it whose first name begins with g and surname begins with w and ends in n) then why still have them on your hard drive.

personally, im all for mp3's, to get your dj sets out there, or your live sets, to sell your latest releases via mp3, but please dont steal them via shareware sites

Dan - we don't have good record shops where I'm from, we used to have a few but thats another story... and I don't like records all that much.

It used to be easier to cue a whole heap of random tracks off someones slsk collection, download (while doing something else) and preview later, altho these days I just go on the mp3 stores and buy tracks from there, guilt free and only the stuff I want... whichever way people do it, they won't buy it if its shit and thats what I think it all comes down to in the end...

I may be taking the piss and ranting on with my posts but I'm pretty sure that I represent a LOT of people when saying that shit, inlcuding a LOT of people on this board. It's just that nobody else has the balls to say it cus they're too busy licking their heroes' asses.

Happy New Year.

sorry, before I go to the beach, I have to say something about "getting your dj sets out there"

spank my arse and call me pink cheecks, if thats not blatant piracy, using other people's music without paying any form of royalties while making a name for yourself than I don't know what is...

this is one of the double standards that we often talk about. It's quite a lot worse than downloading someones track off the net, listening to it once or twice and ****ing it off. But I guess it ISN'T piracy if it serves a purpose thats in your favour. **** me. I gotta stop drinking. Lets all record peoples tracks, string them together and spread them round the net, for free... and reap all the rewards of being such a good pirate. arrrrrr.

now I'm being a dick, sorry.

Happy New Year

[basslinejunkie]

good point in my opinion

no i dont agree with that, if the dj has paid for all the tracks they're playing, and he/she isnt making any money from the sets, i dont see a problem with it at all.

in fact, it helps sales or tracks no end, look how many times people ask the dj, ooh what track is that at 27.36 etc, then they go and buy the record/cd/mp3 etc.

[Miromiric]

if a person downloading illegal mp3s is not making any money on them, i dont see a problem with it at all.

Yeah, but if many people couldn't download illegal mp3s (especially DJs), they'd be forced to buy mp3s or go into a record shop, like most other real DJs have done for years.

Granted there's stuff downloaded that the user wouldn't probably buy if they had to, the fact is that people should have to pay for something, surely? Oh no, if they don't make a profit *themselves* then it's ok? .

[Miromiric]

yep its ok in my book not to buy if u dont earn any money on it.

This is what Chris Liberator has to say about the topic on the inside cover of Set Fire:

"Home taping is killing the music industry. About **** time! Tape this off a friend if you can't afford to buy it!"

hmm not sure if he would stand by that statement now....

recently a friend lent me a an mp3 player with 30gigs on it. I copied every single beatles, led zep, pink floyd, bob dylan, oasis albums and a load of other stuff. now to me this is the same thing as nicking from microsoft, these people can blatantly afford it. however there's no way I would have sat down and taped it all onto cassette five years ago, so things have changed. As far as mixes go on the internet, thats fair game I reckon, I've bought all that music and am not charging for it.........

[rotten]

ok but what is it, if ppl cut out trax off the set, remaster it and make it on a record for their personal use/djing?? that'd be an idea for someone i think..

[rotten]

of course i'm talkin bout unreleased stuff

[Miromiric]

that equals to forced penetration.
