To all of those that like to bash artists. Now does it make sense why artists are so hellbent on making sure that their music doesn't get in the wrong hands?

Looks like their selling mp3s from every source they can get their grubby little hands on.

and looking at some labels, I have the promos they are trying to sell. I notified about 10 labels that I deal with and told them to sue the bastards, if they did not sign up, which they did not. I still say this is a PR stunt somehow, to see how many CC numbers they could get or how many labels will sue. Just wait till the Big 5 find out, it will be quick and painful for whoever runs that fooking site. I doubt it will be up by late next week.

As much as I'm a big advocate of p2p and downloading mp3s, this site does disgust me. It's one thing to download music from p2p, listen to it yourself, and burn to cd for your car, but to download and edit all the ripping group tags off and sell the rips at full price is unconscionable.

I think pretty much everything is on jetgrooves. For those of you who are familiar with the dj media company "PromoOnly", type their name in and the PromoOnly cd releases will appear in the results. Now, this company is very selective with who gets their cd's, and would shit bricks if they knew about this.

It's also even more ironic because you can type in words or phrases that only mp3 sceners may be familiar with and get results. Type in the word "proper", "read nfo", and "real retail" and you'll see what I mean, as this is how release group mp3s are usually tagged.

JetGrooves tried very hard to make this look legit. They even have audio samples set up. I previewed the Ferry Corsten remix of Force of Gravity and the sample starts out at the beginning of the track, then it has a fast forwarding sound effect leading into the vocal and then the climax and then the end. It seems like they did a lot of work, but now let's hope they get shut down.

Anyone suggest any actions on our part?

I'm just wondering why this illegal file sharing website is allowed to be displayed while one that will let me download the same tracks for free isn't.

Because TA does not support file sharing, you know that.

Why? Because it's illegal. I'm assuming this site is illegal also. Plus this site does no more (and maybe less) damage to producers than a free filesharing website.
