i guess it is just free promotion..

what really bugs me is that they're charging for it.. it they were giving it away for free i'd be less annoyed. theres nothing worse than someone else (possibly) making some money from my hard work when im finding it hard enough to make the money myself.

I've dismissed the thought of generating any revenue from my musical endeavours. The only change I find possible to collect would be from performances, otherwise I cannot see the techno market actually supporting a household like it did in say the late 90's.

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah that's true, techno wont support a household these days, unless a persons production happens to hit a nerve in the current scene and their sales take off, but even then obviously you have to keep it up

but i think its a good thing that people cant make a living off techno, and the quicker more people getting into the scene realise this, the better for the scene, as those who truely have a natural desire to make music will still be around, whilst those thinking its a quick route to cash and fame will simply fall off the radar

i personally seperate all my music making endevours from my financial situation, always have and until i hit a level production wise were i have enough work coming my way to be financially viable, i will always support myself outside of techno with a regular job. This way any monies i have made off my releases and appearences is a lovely bonus, but getting the finished vinyl through the post means more to me than any paycheck thats following it .Wouldnt have it any other way really, the freedom enjoyed is just immense, ive had so many of the older guys who are my friends moaning how bad their sales are etc and whilst sympathising to a point, im so so glad its not me

and i really wouldnt worry about this site guys, i dont even see it as free promotion because anyone whose going to buy my records knows who i am anyway, and i dare say those savvy enough will see right through this site anyway

hehe the russkies copyright issues

We ported a UK cookery programme over to russia and used it to advertise pots and pans. The UK producer came crying complaining that we had stolen their tv show, and threatened legal action.

I think our basic response was - "and what the **** are you going to do about it?"

Russia has an interesting approach to copyright. In that they generally just ignore it and sell stuff regardless with the full sanction of the government. Whats good for Russia... etc etc

[DannyBlack]

in soviet russia the mp3 sells you.

[fatcollective]

a whole load of our stuff is on there too, there just aint feck all we can do, if they are not on this site, they are all over others...its just something we got to put up with in this day and age!! bollox init!! :grr:

[Si the Sigh]

[djfilthmonger]

[The Overfiend]

This sucks because any flaw in the vinyl will appear on your mp3, lovely.

[Jay Pace]

All the disadvantages of vinyl, in a digital format.

Maybe they can mp3 my rave tape packs and sell them back to me.

[dirty_bass]

In some cases the vinyl mastering and conversion to mp3 might actually sound better than the original piece.

[The Overfiend]

Because of the Volume Normalize and the Compression involved?

[herman]

I found 260 odd of my tracks on there some of them offered in glorious 64kbps ripped directly from vinyl. They have even gone to the trouble of adding titles to some of my untitled tracks :) aah the joys of the new market lol

[The Overfiend]

Can't beat that.

[The Overfiend]

Were they rough or did they use vaseline?

[Little_Fella!]

Surely there is someone who knows a friendly hacker, who does good hacking for the common people....( did I just say that?) ...and loves Techno

Maybe they could send something 'nasty pasty' when paying for something, which would then screw up their money handling system... Or just makes the screen go so bright that it burns their EYEBALLS OUT!!!
