I play some tunes that i dl of the net, but only in my bedroom, then once they are available on vinyl , ill purchase them, i dont think mp3's that have been downloaded should be played out on the radio or in clubs, unless given of course consent is given from the record company, artist etc


"i got most of these songs sent out to me"
I was just wondering if you get them sent out to you by the label(are you on promo mailing lists?), or by the artist, or purchased from online?

cheers

p.s

good lookin list of tunes!

excuse me for pointing out the obvious but I've seen radio stations here in Perth get hammered for playing shit that they simply downloaded and played on radio, mainstream radio stations. They got sued into the thousands.

Now I'm pretty sure Nova, knowing that you were doing the same, would check about letting you play on their station.

you can't get away with saying 'oh I only downloaded & played a couple of tunes', if you had any logical sense about you, you'd realise that public radio broadcasting is a hell of a lot different to playing in your bedroom. You're putting your employer at risk, and yourself at risk.

yeah, I'd like to know if Nova are aware that some of the tracks are downloaded.... If so, whats their opinion?

lol

Yeh i guess, i guess i have to get a super credit card to access unreleased stuff , look many people do this, even radio stations do this to get stuff they can't get, Tom Brown even told me. Yes i know its wrong but if i couldg get them all on vinyl then i would so i wouldn't have to go through so much pressure like i'm going through now. And knowing Cameron (the other resident) plays on the CDJ time to time...

AND let me point this clear, The RUSH resident Adam white plays with a CDJ, playing unlreleased stuff from time to time...he isn't a massive DJ but he still plays with the CDJ and without stress..

DROP IT.

for the record this argument is retarded, however psy, it's not the use of cdj's that's got everyone against ya, so don't argue the point

take it easy cowboy.

what you choose to do is inevitably up to you, but i see ppl here just givin you a word of advise/word of warning. i wasn't going to delve into this debate but i just wanted to point out a few things as your argument is significantly flawed. [1] are you a sheep? because other djs do it, doesnt mean its ethically correct. its a pathetic high school mentality [2] sure, when other djs use cdjs, they use it to for tunes they havent access to "from time to time". not only does your tracklisting looks a tad more than from time to time, [i could be wrong, i'm a tad behind lol] your reason for not being able to access them is money. for other djs, they use cdjs for rarities they're not able to find. not unable to afford. [3] your justification for downloading mp3s because you havent a super size credit card sickens me. its simple. if you cant afford the arsenal, don't play the game. personal use is fine, but you're getting public play. [4] you are broadcasting these mixes on the radio, why so? to get heard. therefore, you are using stolen music to promote your music. does that sound right to you?

anyway, just some points for you to mull over.

p.s. u mentioned some were sent to you. through labels and artists? which ones?

Well i got most of that stuff on vinyl anywayz, so i dont know why escee even started by saying that i should own them, the Airbase remix i got his permission, i got sent Mike Shiver - Feelings and Religion, but they were sent to me in the promo sleeve and stuff but not through the record company...

Hmm i guess ill stop this downloading less, even though i download nothing at all sometimes and start buying more...

I neever knew it was illegal...i apologise to everyone.

It just comes down to personal gain. If you use mp3's to advance your career, whether instantly or eventually, you're going to be making money from something you've in effect stolen.

Unfortunately this 'discussion' is degenerating into a whole mp3 fight, when as was pointed out, it was only started as a warning.
