look at this as a simple equation.
WHy NAPSTER Went down; Big companies like SONY, WARNER and Whatever. thinks mp3 is illegal , so they spend lots of money on lawyers to sue the company. the purpose ? MONEY .
WHy Warez Groups went down; Big companies like Panamount pictures, universal studios, software companies thinks ripping of their movies/softwares is illegal, so they complain and spend lots of money on lawyers to sue, in this case, capture the people involved and bring down the organization. the purpose ? MONEY again ...
Why Trance Groups will survive. There are no BIG companies that think trading mp3s is so wrong that they have to use illegal actions. true that copying other peoples work is wrong. But just look at the interviews of star DJs like armin, he quoted. Copying is illegal, but if there isn't mp3 , he wouldn't be where he is now.
Blank & Jones even went as far as to broadcast their sets online. The thing is, trance isn't that commercial. the artist do it for the love of their music and not just the money.
so, trance groups will survive

you have a weak ass analogy there
So what if they sell mp3 players...they sell CD RECORDABLES too.
MP3 players are for playing LEGAL mp3s (which are clearly stated within the mp3 players' manuals to overcome legal hurdles).
Sorry dude, but get a clue!

warez on the other hand has no argument over it... its piracy and thats that so they are gunna crack down harder on that than they are if they ever do on us. |
Distributing copyrighted material, whether it be Software or Music, is one and the same. You think the recent bust didn't affect the mp3 scene? Few sites went DOWN that day, some are reassembling...these sitez aren't some shit faced pubs either.
Warez vs MP3z is the question of MONEY. There are big corporations (read: M$) that claim to be losing billions of dollars annually due to piracy and back it up with documents that are skewed beyond belief.
The only reason they aren't coming after -- POW, 1REAL, SND..etc -- cuz the music industry is still in its infancy in fighting "piracy" and copyright infringements. Once the music industry starts fighting the same was as the software industry...well, time will tell, but just enjoy what you have and well move on).
| quote: | even if they do get release groups, they will neva stop it all.. theres always someone somewhere with a turntable willing to rip us some trance  |
yea, someone, somewhere will always be ripping. Distribution on the other hand is what is in question here, not the ripping part.
blah...sorry to sound harsh and all...but, well no buts just the way I feel.

The FBI dosn't even care about the Trance "scene"... To them we're just specks... They care about the REAL piracy groups-- the people who have made MILLIONS of USD ($) off of piracy and actually steal the software out of companies to copy it. For just those actions, they're breaking multiple laws, NOT just piracy. These people will serve prison time not only for piracy and for the profit thereof but, for the THEFT of that software. THAT'S where it really hurts...
As for music and MP3 copyright issues, did you know that music artists only get 1 - 2 dollars profit from a 16 dollar CD? Where does the money go??? To places like TOWER RECORDS (I HATE them!), HMV, Amazon.com, CDNOW.com, and last but not least, THE RECORD LABELS, ETC. The record labels get the most profit from a CD. These are the people who care more about piracy then anyone. It's ALL about MONEY. I bet if the artist was getting 85% - 100% profit, more people will be buying CDs because they know that the artist is getting most of that money. THAT'S WHY PIRACY, IN A WHOLE, EXISTS...
THE END!
