Originally posted by paranoik0 hey there, wait a second it's the uncopyrighted dj mixes they're trying to put an end on. not the real compilations where dj's/labels pay royalties to get the tracks there. distributing a mix with a copyrighted track is obviously illegal. though most artists won't give a fuck.

No shit. But the point is that even the artists themselves are saying they dont care, and that it's a crucial part of keeping the industry alive. Besides, maybe 1% of dance records on mix CD's are RIAA signed anyways.

Are you a DJ? Do you know how hard it is to get your name out there? The Mix CD/Tape is pretty much the only hope of getting anyone to hear you spinning. What, do we expect DJ's to pay royalties for every copy of their Mix CD they hand out?

The RIAA is going too far in their greed. I'll be happy when they're dead.

To the person who said the virus should be against RIAA not microsoft, I'm sure there are enough people out there who hate the RIAA and could use their spare bandwidth to spam the RIAA online to fcuk. Wouldn't be very hard to organise. While there are no laws against unsolicitated e-mail we might as well use them to our advantage!

Gay basher? No, I meant f** as the insult, not the gay-bash word. How I feel about gay people is not what I'm expressing here. I meant the RIAA are a buncha fuckwads. I hereby retract from hereon out my use of the word f**. That make you guys happier?

But, yes. I AM a gun nut. Guns are beautiful.

Here's what I think of your 'homophobe' remark:

Let it be known I ain't anti-gay or whatever the word is.

Read my statement AGAIN, I said 'I hereby retract from using the word.' I think that means, 'I WONT SAY THE WORD AGAIN!'

but pointing out someone's obvious mistake AFTER they realized they were wrong is so rewarding - makes you angry and makes me feel better

EDIT*: Alright dude, enough. This is getting boring now. We keep flaming each other and this thread'll get shut down. I'm done if you're done. Seriously.

if any producer knew ANYTHING about the music industy and how it works they wouldnt let that shit go down anyway. did you know that if you are a producer and you can prove that your tracks have been published you can join ASCAP or BMI (PRS and GEMA in Europe). Then lets say your song makes it onto one of these compilations, if your song is under 5 min you can get $.085 or over 5 min you get $.0165 per min, on every copy made and distributed...IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO BE SOLD. soooo if you have a 10 min song on a compilation that had 10,000 copies printed it made a profit of $1650. now if every one of those CDs is sold at lets say $10 the profite from that is $100,000. OH NO THE RECORD COMPANY WHO RELEASED IT LOST SOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY TO THE ARTIST ... BOO HOO.


see "all you need to know about the music business" by Donald S. Passman, if you dont believe me.
