cheating beatport territory restriction?

what pissed me off the most about beatport is the stupid "territory restriction" on some tracks. some really great tracks are "territory restricted" which means i can't buy them and i want them goddamnit! anyone know a way around this? i've tried ip anonymizers and proxies and it still doesnt work.....

yeah, i've tried that before too. it's a bit of a pain in the ass though, since you have to find a proxy that's not anonymous and that can have a fast enough bandwith coming from another country. most of the ones i've found are located somewhere in asia or africa, so if you have had any luck with this, definitely PM me... i'd appreciate it

Get a cheap shell on a Euro server (or like Medina said, make a friend who has a *nix box) and use that shell when purchasing your tunes.

what is a shell and what is a nix box? lol....i have relatives in europe but none of them are musically inclined and either way it would be a real hassle paying and downloading back and forth. i've tried proxy programs that make your ip anonymous, but it still didnt work. anyone had any luck with proxies?

Or you can try emailing Beatport. I heard they will sell you the track if you email them.

Ok, scrap that option...it's a little technically advanced. Involves linux/unix knowledge and is honestly more of a hassle than other methods that people have mentioned. ;P

Can anyone explain the reasoning for territory restrictions anyway?

Different labels have their own jurisdictions over where they want their tracks to be available. The same track might be released on different labels. For example, Meck's "Feels Like Home" is released on 3 different labels. Each of those labels has its own "territory" and different release dates. Maybe one label has jurisdiction in the US, another in Europe, etc.

Thing is, certain remixes get picked up by one label, and due to licensing issues, that same remix might not be available on another label's release.

Another scenario is if a track is initially released on one label, and picked up and remixed by other artists (to be released on a second label). Since the original parts to the track were on the first label, the two labels might have an agreement so they both profit on the release in different territories.

Hence this thread...

i had this problem a little whiile ago. search for the artist in the search and then it should come up on two labels, and get the one pn the other label and it should work. (i guess two labels for different territories)

Since so many tracks with someone's name on it was done by another person!
