I'm not against ALL sharing of mp3's, just full rips of individual songs. I don't have a problem with the sharing of entire DJ mixes that aren't commercially available. I don't have a problem with sharing individual tracks from DJ mixes.

I do have a MAJOR problem with those that download full rips and burn them to CDR to use on DJ CD players at clubs/raves, thereby profiting from someone else's work. I think that's COMPLETELY lame, and I'd imagine that a number of ppl here that want full rips as opposed to mixed versions are wanting them for. That's hurting the artists, who don't make a whole lot of money from releasing tracks anyway, and it's hurting record stores by taking away sales that they would otherwise have made if not for sharing (and one of my distributors has told me that they've lost 40% of their business due to shops closing their doors...)

There's lots of things in life I'd like to enjoy, but can't afford to purchase them, so does that make it OK for me to steal them? BTW, there's always the possibility of finding them on CD ya know? Though the sharing of rips is making companies less likely to put out unmixed compilations.

There are promo CD services out there where you might find tracks like these, but once again you have to pay for them

The 2 tunes I don't have are both very rare if not impossible to find on vinyl or cd, to the extent I have never seen them anywhere.

As for the cds thing, I stopped buying uk ones because they are all full of commercial filth with the exception of the 3 a year gc or gk type ones, I refuse to pay good money for a cd with 2 tunes out of 40 that are ok, and as a result, i've imported many of my tunes in, from european or japanese releases, but the point is, if we could buy good cds, with mint tracklisting to appeal to the true trance fans, we would

Um, a trip down to your local record store may be in order for most of ya'll. Sharing full rips is weak...

quote:

Don't laugh, you may never know what we have here. I'm the trance buyer for one of the local stores, and we do get some nice promos from time to time.

These have both been out for a while now, and can be found at your local record store. I can get copies of both of these for you if you'd like to order them.

That's whack. Woody is pretty well known around my area of the US (he lives about 300 miles away), and I'm sure all of would also look down upon his music getting ripped off like that. Go buy it somewhere (anywhere) if you really want it...

Ya know what dude shut the fuck up, im sure most if not everyone try to purchase asmuch of their favorite artist as they can...To me your comments all seem arrogant and personaly i just dont like your attitude, sooo again I say shut the fuck up...

Oh and I forgot this. This one goes to you Mr. Hi my name is DJ Maytag I dont share mp3 because im above it all..

Maybe the artist didn't WANT anyone else to have it, and therefore it wasn't released? I don't think it's all the uncommon for an artist to have a tune they're working on that they scrapped the release of because they didn't feel it was up to their standards.

Well, look elsewhere other than UK then? I'm sure there are CD's coming out of other countries like Belgium, Holland, Sweden, etc. that are top notch. God forbid, there may even be some decent ones from the US! LOL

What would YOUR attitude be if I were really one of said artists, posting under DJMaytag's account? Would you be telling me to shut the fuck up because you want to steal my music? How would you feel if I brought this thread to other's artists attention, so they could chime in as well?

I didnt realy wanna to turn this thread into a flame my bad guys. So any further disagreement between me and Mr maytag will be taken to PM's...But i dont think music should be horded I think many of the artist just want their music to be heard I understand it could be frustrating but ya know what...ya gotta take the good with the bad is there any other way you could get your music to the masses without mp3? I dont think soooo and most the people who hear a song on mp3 will then proceed to buy the vinyl or the album it is on. Or some even will buy a record or album the dont even like that much just because it is by their favorite artist.. Without MP3 a majority of the music would never be heard...

Go right ahead Music is meant to be heard.. Not horded.

dont listen to MAYTAG he's full of it...i think without mp3 i wouldnt not bought sooo many vinyls...also i think the rare stuff you cant get on vinyl, at least be able to hear it on mp3...
Hey maytag if you dont like sharing why dont you just leave TA then...

Won't ever find a single one of the tracks I listed on a vinyl or a promo CD-R, unless I get the copy from PvD, Armin, Tiesto, Marco V, or Dave Dresden.

Yes, I have mp3 rips on my harddrive. Am I ashamed of myself? No. If I didn't have access to mp3, I would know maybe 5% of the tracks I know now. So I can't support the artist buy buying a vinyl, what the fuck am I supposed to do with a useless 12", stare at it? Yeah I could by CD, but I don't go out and play these tracks at events and get paid for spinning them for a crowd. I listen to them for leisure at home, I don't see much harm in that.

Djeebie:

Dave Dresden himself said that the A: D: D dub of Cold Comfort was set to be released on a label that is since defunct, so it is unlikely to ever see a release anywhere. Shame, that track is a beauty.

LAMER OF THE YEAR: DJ MAYTAG!!!!!!!
