just because some shop has the cojones to sell the tune for an ungodly amount, please do not feel justified in ripping and sharing this tune. or any tune. if its in someones mix set, i guess thats ok, but i kinda think piracy is undermining the viability of the dance scene. i cant blame all our woes on the downloading and i'm not trying to come across as some sort of internet sherriff, but guys, come on... try to see the other side... maybe tijs isnt exactly hurting for the cash, but there is a whole "middle class" of producers who don't do it full time any more. because we have day jobs. medway (hooj, GU) and i both now teach at fullsail here in orlando, and in a year, that guy's barely finished 4 tunes. so it's worth thinking about... ppl like medway should be doing more than 4 tunes a year. it benefits dance music to have ppl like that being prolific. soon i will have affordable DL's on www.noelsanger.com and several other download sites, and i hope other's do the same. and as for mixes, i will have those streaming for free. music should be available, and i hate to see promos going for 40p but nothing in the implied contract of that purchase entitles you to become the second tier distributor of that music. if i release a free DL on my site or something then cool, share away, but you have to have respect for the wishes of the music's creator.
i'm as eager as anyone for what's next in the music business, as i think this old model is dead. we are in an uncomfortable transition period. just please lets have respect for each other, yeah?
