if ASOT will COST- what do you think?
imagine if listening to ASOT will someday cost any kind of money...
what will you think? how will you react?
i think armin will lose many fans of the show and the popularity of the show will drop! ASOT is a good trance radio show but it is also a BIG COMERCIAL for armin. people made armin big and he can fall just the same. millions of other djs will be so glad to give a good & quality trance show with such a big publicity just for free!
i like armin (only when he plays melodic stuff) but if he thinks he will make extra cash because of his name, he will lose me and million other fans more.
think about it for a second and tell me what do you think.
p.s. i am not cheap. I have been to 4 gigs of armin in israel eventhough i didn't like the 70% progressive he played!

heh, he's not making the money. the people who bought teh show are.
he sees profits from his tours.
of course he will make money!
Of course he won't! He's mentioned several times that he doesn't intend to make money directly from the show.
dear friends,
armin made the show for free for id&t and so far. if asot will cost for internet listening, he will get money from it.
Dude nobody cares. Forget about it.
Accept the fact that you're wrong.
explain!

This thread is teh funneh. 
if people want to listen to the show badly enough they'll pay for it.
i'm comfortable with the low-fi stream off di.fm.
ok... i have one last question, why do you think etn.fm and di.fm are about to loose the show? if the show will be free why should armin care?

Do you comprehend what you read, or just choose to make up your own facts?
Digitally Imported has a contract with TheRadioDepartment.com to host ASOT in the future. DI has pay streams as well as free streams of 96k and below. The funding that DI receives from the pay streams as well as from advertising will go to TheRadioDepartment.com and the producers of the tracks that are featured on ASOT in the form of 'Royalties.' The $ will not go to Armin.
Does that make sense?

UWM, i understand! but how did the producers of the tracks made money if the show was played for free so far? the show was played on id&t radio... so you want to say that id&t paid money for the producers of the tracks armin played? in israel it is not like this. it sounds good for the producers!!! really nice...
the producers make money when the tracks are sold when released in some way.
I don't know what sort of arrangement ID&T had with the producers whose tracks were featured on the show, but I imagine they paid some sort of royalty fees because I know it was 'suggested' that Armin play particular tracks on his radio show.

downloading music for free instead of buying is not ok... but i paid really good money to be in those gigs of those top dj/producers wich the internet helped me to know about!
