File Sharing Views.
I was reading Mauro Picotto's views on file sharing and his views very much contrast with Johan Gilen's on file sharing who thinks people should be punished. This is what Picotto said in a interview:
Q: Your first club gig was in 1985 -- the industry has changed since then: live shows, studio albums and file sharing online. Any thoughts?
Of course corporate intervention is the most notable difference. I do miss the times when dance music was just dance music; now it's broken into different genres, but of course this has opened new musical avenues. For an aspiring DJ or producer, file sharing is a vital marketing tool. I'm sure the major record labels will disagree with me though.
-------------------
This probably reflects the techno scene as a whole and there is some dj/producers (like Gielen) out there for the money.

Link to Picotto review?
Interview
i've posted all what he said on file sharing on my first post though.
I'll answer this with a short review of my day.
- wake up, shower
- eat
- go on my hub, talk to a few people who are still up talking crap 'cos they've not slept for 48 hours...
- stick a recent\favourite DJ Set on
- queue up a few tunes.. download them in a couple of minutes
- listen to them, decide if i want them or not
..and here is the key part
- i vist any one of 10 online record shops, and *buy* them.
This is true for most of the DJs on my hub.. and that's quite a few.
The way i see it.. services like my hub, are not only not having an adverse affect on the dance music industry, but they are infact helping it to grow considerablyly, and at an increased rate. I enjoy listening to DJ Sets, and i enjoy listening to songs via the internet before i buy them. Is that a crime? Well.. yes, but in the end it's a rather contradictory one, since the very thing that the laws governing this area are meant to be protecting, they are infact hindering.
So here's the scoop... if the record labels want my money, they should be quiet, if not.. then by all means sue me.. and lose a value customer, as well as 2000+ others using my hub 
OLDo
iirc before being nomitated for the best dj etc. a couple of times tiesto used to say he's totally cool with mp3s...
human nature i guess.
Has anyonee seen the user BPI on Soulseek (apparently the British Phonographic Industry).
It claimed Soulseek won't be up for much longer and it advised us to uninstall Soulseek, I don't know if it was real but it did seem to convince people as it seemed to know it's stuff.
i dont see how they can legally shut down soulseek.
its a non profit organisation permitting the transfer of files from one pc to another. im sure any lawyer could find legitimate reasons for it to stay in operation.
File sharing can be a great way of finding tracks and artists you might never have known existed. I have purchased a number of CDs and some vinyl that I wouldn't have done without the luxury of hearing certain tracks in full first (sometimes the 1 minute previews on sites like juno just aren't enough). I like to have authentic music stacking my shelves, not rows of CDRs which is why I tend to buy most of the music I listen to. But p2p applications are definitely a healthy benefit to me.

| Originally posted by Boomer187 that doesn't mean they downloaded them illegally. :P. it all sucks ass cause those turds that take advantage of the system out number us that use it in a productive manner. |
my two cents.
I download because I can't afford the music, and would otherwise not be able to hear stuff I like on demand. if I had the money to purchase all the stuff I have, I would honestly do it. and I plan to once I can. the music industry isn't losing business from me, since it wouldn't have been there to begin with, and I'll buy more than if I had never taken up downloading as soon as I'm able to.

Fuck the greedy bitches
File sharing did a great thing and put overpaid babies back on their place... They still way overpaid IMO...
Now if i like the song/album/liveset ,whatever i download, i will pay the money and see their performace.. or i will buy a record to play out. Thats how artist should be compensated... not a percentage of millions of cd's they sell... only makes goldbrick recording companies richer
The track shouldn't be more then a showcase of the artists ability adn what to expect on their performcace.

imo trance labels shouldn't complain about filesharing..
unlike pop/rap downloaders, trance folks, don't go make cd's and sell it for their own profit(maybe a few fookers do), since there is alot of respect for producers and djs.
like a prevous poster said, sharing made EDM very famous now, and if labels start complaining now, means they are heading commercial path, like pop and rap, and i bet many people won't respect those labels,djs and producers anymore.
yea well the producers bust their asses to produce top quality tracks for us TA's to enjoy, and u know what..? They have to make a living out of this. Which means they HAVE to sell their stuff to support themselves and to put food on the table.
Since many trance artist are not signed with those big wanky record companies, they don't earn that much...
I don't think it would be very helpful if the majority of ppl just d/l shit and never buy cd's..
