Hiya fellow thread readers...

Alright i've previously done all sorts of research into mp3search.ru, so i'll happily pass on that information to you here.

Apparently in Russia they have really messed up copyright laws which in effect make it legal for this site to operate selling "legal" mp3s of whatever songs it wants according to russian law.

End of story.

And they are even EVIL enough that they know people are scared of giving them credit cards to buy the songs, that they accept Paypal very sneaky.

So in effect you have a "legal" napster operating in russia.

And of course in this fabulous world there isn't a damned thing that can be done about it...

That's bullshit, and you should raise hell. You could probably have them shut down, or, at least, make them settle, giving you some cash.

Originally posted by davepiazza I hope people realize this is killing EDM. How are artists to be rewarded for their hard work and talent? They have provides us the joy of the music we in return should reward them as well. This whole downloading shit for free and fucking over the artists is wrong! Yea the labels get most of the money but the artists atleast get some $$ which is better than nothing. People are so greedy and selfish is pathetic. I hope the bastards that did this get sued.

It annoys me, because, as a dj, a lot of producers are afraid of giving away their tracks. They don't know that I would never give it away or "leak" it, but need to protect their ass against fools like the one that gave this one away.

no, the version that has been put up on the internet is an ogg, this version is an mp3, either the 192 that is floating around is a re-code or anctual cdr has been ripped

Russia huh....

[cough]

....take matters in your own hands than



Id first ask the site admin. for a mailing address to send inquires too about this matter. I would first send numourous nasty mailings. I would then mail them a small box containing dog shit inside. Please dont use your real home mailing address in the return postage. Be creative.

Next I would spam their email box with a email program. Use a drone email account. Use a multi. IP. Make sure the message indicates your disgust with their fraud.

Finally, but most devestating I'd look for a good computer geek or two and cause some problems on their servers .

Hopefully your message will than be heard.

Like montana already said it's a low quality ogg file. Moreover there's another strange thing: I made 2 remixes of it...An Intro Mix and a non-intro mix. The ogg-file i uploaded is the intro mix and the one you can buy on that russian site is the non-intro mix. However i never uploaded the non-intro mix anywhere. never. We just sent out both versions to labels. Considering these facts a label must have failed to secure their demos or didn't care about it. It's pretty weak that those who always complain about sharing mp3s and stuff are the source of this problem.
Don't get me wrong - I know those guys won't earn the big cash with this track, but it's a basic problem i have with it. We didn't get this track signed yet...while someone else makes money with it.
