i think quite simply if your naive enough to think your going to get into the scene for the money and charly, then you probably dont deserve to be getting your stuff out ahead of the genuine people anyway....

quite simply put, illegal downloads do take away from the labels and artists, but if anyone is solely relying on music, especially techno right now, as their only source of income, and actually moaning when they arent making as much as they should be, wether this is justified or not i.e illegal download of upcoming ep's etc etc, then they need to open their blinkers a little and maybe join the real world again, GET A PROPER JOB TOO! There must be a shed load of outlets and opportunities for someone with a good experience of music production and would only take a good bit of digging around to find something suitable.

Dont put all your egg's in one basket
