Maybe Doru is destined to become the trance communities version of Elvis.
"Holy shit, I just saw Doru in Dunking donuts"

Of course I must say RIP Doru, if you exist, your free samples helped me start my journey as a producer and it was apreciated.

I wanted to say that this Doru guy is just a dirty wanker nothing more. I'm pretty much sure he is live and shakin'. He is just doing what gypsies do ...Well, watch "Snatch" and you'll see

well now after knowing about alot of what doru did and what has happened throughout conversations i dont know what to be believe.
i still have respect and hope this gets sorted out cos its a little fishy. i thought when someone dies they post a pic of the person to show a sign of respect for that person, for all i know is that he was a member of trance addict.

does anyone have a pic of him?

Yeap...me also, but I kinda believed he existed. But yeah, there was something fishy. I liked "his" samples, though. They were all nice.

After reading all the forum topics about this,I am convinced it was all a scam. And as somebody from other forum said, he mispelled easy words but real complex ones he spelled fine.

Now, read this:http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=125397

To me, this is the last straw that broke the camel's back.
So the man "died", but the samples are still in focus? WTF? A man "died", but still, "his" samples are in the equation. Now I am 100% it was all a scam...a clever one. No wonder I always had that weird feeling.

Don't get me wrong guys...as many of you did, I also got really attached to the guy because he seemed to be a great human being with a clean heart. Reading about his death shocked me...saddened me. But let's be real...there's too much loose proof out there that this was indeed a scam. And maybe the guy posted that Doru died just because he already achieved his goal and didn't want to keep playing Doru's character. Look at it...he died but still, the focus is in the samples. You read about the samples every 2 sentences. If somebody died, the least thing you talk about is money and stuff. Hopefully, nobody died and I hope the man really existed. But if not, we got tricked and loved a fellow veteran musician that NEVER existed. Either way you see it, if he was fake and he never existed, he still

EDIT: A picture of him supposedly (post in browser)!

This could be very well the picture of any random guy, or maybe this guy influenced the author of what could be a scam.

I dont think it's a random guy, that guy is on some pics in Dorus WebsAlbum. Could be Doru himself.
But still, it could also be any random guy as you said.

It's naturally extremely sad if the story is true and if that's the case then of course my thoughts go out to the mans family and wish that he finds peace with the Big DJ in the sky.

__________________________________________________________________

Naturally the cicumstances are somewhat concerning, as there seems to be darker side to all of this.
What troubles me is that there is a risk that someone has taken advantage of a group of enthusiasts with what is potentially emotional blackmail/fraud.

But you can look at this in several ways.
The way I see it is this. If the allegations are true then perhaps the sadest thing is that the person behind it lost out as there was obviously quality interaction, and ultimately their experience would have been richer if they had been honest about who they were in the first place.

With regards to the sample CDs.
Was there ever a claim tha they were royalty free samples? If so and they are not then of course it's fraud.

With regards to spelling of words, that needn't mean anything. People will usually spell words that they relate to or feel strongly about much better than for example easy everyday words. People also have very different ways of processing them. So it needn't mean anything. (Mrs Nem is a teacher of English to non English speakers)

The other thing though is that there is nothing to stop this guy from re-inventing himself and attempting another scam. Something that it true to the pathology of fraudsters.

Cheers
Nem

of course it was a scam months ago when he said he had cancer people felt sorry for him and bought his samples (i just downloaded the freebies) and now he's letting on he's dead so that he can clean out your piggy banks more. if a person is dying of cancer to you really think they would be sitting on their death bed saying to a friend "oh by the way here is my TA user name and password, make sure they are well looked after and let them use my samples". i thinks lying on your death bed you would be more concerned about how long you've got to life rather than worry about this.

Posted by kopi_luwak on Mar-14-2006 20:47:

If all this it's true, then this sux man, I really apreciatted his help with his sample packs, a big lost for the music comunity , but if this is SCAM, eat garbage and die slowly ...
Kopi =o.

http://dansprianu.topcities.com/home.html <- there are some pics of "Daniel" there... I can see some common features. Look at the eyes.
The pic on that page might be a old one of him.

I don't think anyone should donate any money. Do private research.

I did some searching, and on another forum a good point was made. Doru's samples are well known by most of the internet musician community, so if any of his samples were stolen, someone would have recognized this. He would have been sued and his site brought down. Or at the least, there would have been a cease and desist order, and possibly fraud charges. OK, sure, percussion samples can sound gereric, and could be hard to prove, but the vocal samples and reason refills would be easy enough to prove. The fact seems to be that no one has been able to find any mention of Duro stealing samples. I'm assuming that he indeed did create most of them. Perhaps the Doru character was just a clever marketing scheme.

The odd thing is the shear number of samples he supposedly created. On one DVD there's 26,000. Seems it would take a person a lifetime to come up with that many samples. That seemed strange to me the first time I saw it.

Well anyway, at the worst, Doro is guilty of simple, harmless deception. If he would of claimed that some of the money for his samples was going toward cancer treatments, then you'd have a case against him. Using a false illness and persona to get sympathy purchases, is not illegal as far as I know.

@zodiac9:
None the less, it's a scam! We should raise sanctions against him if these accusations proves to be true.
We are just to damn naive. It's so easy to pull a scam like that.

I've not yet made up my mind weather to believe it's a scam, or just a series of suspicious coincidents.
I hope we can find out the truth. As for now, let's just do research.

I have found another suspicious thing. How could "Daniel" know what forums "Doru" was a member of?
He has posted the same messages on most of the public music forums. All with "Doru's" account. Weird, or just me being too suspicious?

Posted by mzvirbulis on Mar-15-2006 12:54:

i have found that alot of you have made good fidings and that many are valid in discovering the truth. thats the only reason why i havent made my mind up, funny thing is i felt a bit odd i was turning a blind eye to this case being suspicious. but really i shouldnt you have to be back to reality these scams are happening all the time. now i dont feel so bad after all as thinking its a scam with all this evidence provided.

that is indeed a very good point.

i'm going with option b from Dezma's post at the moment.
luckily i didn't buy any samples.. the thought briefly occured to me, but it just didn't feel right.

Posted by fr0st on Mar-18-2006 12:04:

I believe it was a scame aswell. Having had various members of my family die of cancer, i can safely say for the most part the would rather noone knew up it, and would only bring it up if they have too. They would rather people treat them equally and not as "the person with cancer". To me this just a scam playing on our empathy, and isnt a dance music forum the perfect place to play on ones empathy (drug related).

Posted by jojimbo1 on Mar-27-2006 16:49:

Any way that you look at this, it is sad. Either a good person died, or we've all been fooled by a shyster.

Unfortunate.
