I'm not trying to start another flamewar about Final Scratch, I just want to see how many people had it. I'm not nessecarily opposed to it, but I don't think it's something I need at the moment.

Today I spoke to another local DJ and he told me he bought Final Scratch. His reason was "I just spent $200 on records...and I needed to take a break from being broke."

First off, $200 on records isn't shit. I'm tired of people telling me "Hey, I've spent thousands of dollars on records in the past...don't tell me I'm not supporting the techno scene." That one quote in particular came from a friend who bought it last June. He has not bought a single record since. People think because they've spent small fortunes on vinyl it gives them the right to forego supporting the vinyl industry in the future. Give me a break.

Second, all these local DJs are buying Final Scratch when none of them even produce themselves (nor can they mix for that matter). Do they really need Final Scratch? The answer is no unless you just want to rape soulseek for the latest tunes. I run two labels and put out on others and I don't even think Final Scratch is very nessecary for me.

So to sum things up...I just want to know who else out there is buying final scratch? I didn't think it was catching on this quickly.
