ATTN: Producers, your tracks are being ripped off!

Hi there,
this has already posted in the Music Discussion forum, but I thought I'd better post this here too since you are the people this concerns the most.

http://www.jetgroove.com is selling your mp3s as CD Singles illegally!

I just did a quick search and I could find at least 2 Al Azar tracks there, the Whitesun remix of BT - Force Of Gravity, MK-S remix of Frenzy , Lightworks remix of Delphini Blue - Antarctica, Bren-F mixes of 3rd Earth and Evanescence - Hello, Elude - Nudawn 2003 and probably many, many others...

Take action now! I've already emailed them regarding our tracks, I suggest you do that too.

uncool.. i found my track selling for 1.25$ :

Man... these idiots need to be shut down...

maybe we can collectively sue them and earn some money

thatwas fast
the site dont work no more hehe
i wanted to see if they sold my tracks

they even selling things from Massive Attack....

man, no1 wants to sell my stuff , couldn't find my things.

but the question would be, should we bother? i mean who will buy from them?

and the Mk-S remix of Spirals is 40mb..

Only Undiscoverd Fortune mate is beeing sold from you.

Did anyone catch this part???


Is downloading music here legal?


Yes. The music is licensed, and the artists are compensated.

ah UK..

Lets send Luke

Luke show them your flying kicks!!

All that hard work you producers put into your tracks just for some asshole to steal it and sell it off for a buck 25.

Thankfully I can't see this site lasting too long.

Yeah and it being registered in UK will shorten its lifespan a lot..

Thats terrible.

luckily i did not find any of my tracks on there, but i feel bad for you guys.. who would do something like that?

maybe that 'Ripper' is hanging around in this forums...
would like to find that out.
Anyway...iv sent an email even that my track aint there...

this subject need to be investigated DEEPLY.

Oopsie!

We've been having a bit of fun in #ukta spotting the extent of this site's illegitimate activities. As they are selling a promo vinyl rip of 'Nothing to Live For', I have e-mailed my record label alerting them to the situation. That seems hilariously futile now though, since ian^ has contacted Nukleuz, Anjuna and Elevation among others. Hopefully JetGroove will be JetGone soon.

Wowzers this JetGroove guy must be very stupid to do this. I think he's gonna have quite a hard time now..

What an idiot!!

Hee hee, here's a bit of email transaction...

From: OrgaNik To: legal@jetgroove.com Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 6:22 AM Subject: Regarding your site and our tracks (Al Azar) It has come to my attention that you are selling illegally printed CD single of Al Azar's tracks "Shattered Dreams" and "Forever Forgotten". There has not been nor have there ever been a CD release of these tracks, in fact Forever Forgotten isn't even signed to Expanse Recordings as you falsely claim. Both tracks are also in their demo form and do not represent the quality of the finished products in any way. How do I know this? Because I have made those mp3 files MYSELF and shared them on a public website. Not only that, but this CD is obviously printed from the ripping group MNS "release" since you have the titles mixed... Rest assured I will contact Expanse Recordings and my producing partner about this and will take further action. Representing Al Azar, Nikolai Rasimus

To which they responded:

Now, is it just me or does that look like a standard email they send to everyone... ?

Sure does

Regardless of whether it's a pre-written e-mail or not (and it blatantly is), that e-mail is possibly one of the most stupid things I have ever read. The guy is contradicting himself all over the place!

I sent them an email asking were they actually planning to tell us about having our tracks up there at some point... I also told them to remove the tracks immediately.

I doubt it'll happen but meh...

How do they expect anyone to trust them when they do like this??
I see no future for this jetgroove...

...

Isnt that lame to post someone's track on a dodgy website before you asked him if you can sell it? dickheads...

oh , and for some reason i have a feeling that if you wouldnt sent him the e-mail he was still selling your music ...

So are they selling the music of you guys or not? In the response that Nik got, it says that the songs aren't able to be downloaded since he doesn't have a license.

It says on the site it's the beta version running there, which could mean they just started. Someone should register and try to "buy" some of these tracks and see what is really happening..

They already made the intention of selling it because the price is right next to the tracks! I think that's not allowed as well!

The site really smells BAD!

These people are criminals. Mr.M did an excellent job of catching these criminals but the question is how long and how much illegal material was sold on the site? It is obvious to me after reading this email that the company is trying to talk there way out of it, hoping to "partner" with this artist after they sold unknown #'s of his music off the web. Instead of relying on the courts. I would highly recommend any artist affect by this manner to press this issue to your local attorney and stop this fraud from happening again. This email was written by the store owner and not an attorney. PLEASE DO NOT ENGUAGE IN ANY CONTRACT WITH THIS PARTY BECUASE YOU MAY LOSE YOUR COPYRIGHTS. I highly doubt this engagement would exist if other artists came forth. This is an attempt to quickly quiet one victim while many other unknown victims are not contacted.

I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THAT ALL THE ARTISTS ON TA AFFECTED BY THE FRAUD OF JETGROOVE. FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT .

ei! they are selling even Ferry Corsten's tracks!
