that's terrible... those starving pieces of shit are double dipping.
they want you to pay to buy the track, then pay to play it... i don't get it.
i don't know how it is in england, but here in the US. electronic music HAS ALWAYS BEEN DJ MUSIC, it was always meant to be played in clubs by dj's. all these sites that offer tracks like beatport, djdownload, etc advertise themselves to dj's. for the most part we're their only customers... both beatport and dancetracks specifically state that when you download from them, you have the same rights you would have if you bought the actual record. what they are doing over there is absolutely rediculous.
this whole digital file swapping, illegal this, illegal that, piracy argument is old hat. they really need to come up w/new shit, because they are just using the same argument time and time again. when the first tape deck w/a record button came out, they cried bloody murder... people can make copies of vinyl, all people will do is steal, steal, steal, we will loose zillions of dollars, along w/our houses, our yahts, our cars, and our drugs to piracy.
they said the same thing w/vcr's came out w/a record button came out.
they said the same thing when the first stand alone cd recorder came out.
they fucked up consumer dats because of this.
they said the same thing about cd/dvd burners.
of course piracy is a problem. it's part of cost of doing business. you just can't squeeze revenue out of every potential constomer. if you can't handle the cost of doing business (precieved or actual), then you should consder getting out of this one, and into another that has less risk involved (precieved or actual), and more money.
maybe those crybabies should go into the auto industry. i don't see anyone selling bootleg ford festivas, much less bootleg m3s, and slk's. they wouldn't have to tell people what they can or can cannot do w/their cars. they can spend less time crying, and more time making money. sell car, make money. why are they still here, i don't know.
i say we all go on strike to show solidarity for our brit comrades.
we should all cancell our gigs this weekend, and not buy music for a little bit. let's see if the can world turn w/out us.
i don't see the logic behind double dipping, and screwing your customer base. -the ones who do their part in keeping the circle of trust alive by putting money in your pocket in the first place.
