I think he means if you told them you downloaded it illegally because it wasn't available Clovis.

And no, i applaud you, if the record company is dumb enough to have territory restrictions, then too bad for them, they missed out on your money, when it becomes available for you to buy, then buy it, if not, their loss for being too hard to deal with.

I HATE territory restrictions!!!

You obviously missed my post.

I guess they might sell individually, but that is still illegal on their behalf.

ya, imo if it's a big label i doubt they're going to risk making $1 off of you and do something illegal. good luck with it and i agree with most people, i too am willing to pay for all of my tracks, but some are just impossible to get to and it's the only way. besides, the only person that hears any of my mixes is me anyway, so i really don't see how it would hurt anybody

Originally posted by Jarvmeister I saw it on beatport, it was territory restricted.

in my opinion that means its ok to download if they wanted me to give them money for the track they would let me...

i think it has to do with the fact that the wax is a physical item, and they go out of their way to ship it and import it... where as selling online makes it easily available to the entire globe

The fact that people keep complaining about labels territory restrictions is really start to piss me off.

Can anyone explain why a music label would willingly not sell to a particular region!?!?

Woah, I meant BEFORE having downloaded it illegaly guys. Like, sending them an email and letting them know that you havn't found any way of purchasing it and really want to.

I bet you'd have to be on their promo list for them to send it you. Thats probably the reason theyre not selling it yet.

I had the same issue about a month ago. The first time I heard Umbrella (Sebastian Ingrosso & Steve Angello) @ Space, I fell in looooove with the track. I went CRAZY looking for that track. Beatport had the territory restriction (******S), I then looked in a billion websites to see if I can purchase the download, NOTHING! I did find it, but on vinyl. I dont do vinyl, therefore I was screwed. My last resort was limewire, I found it there @ 320 kbps & the full extended mix for FREE! I produce music msyself, and I do not want to get music for free because I know how much work is put behind making a track, but dam bro if you dont give me the resources to purchase it I have no other choice. I dont blame you @ all for what you did man!

in the end, arent the same people making the $$$ regardless of territory restrictions?

it's not about who's making money, it's has to do with distribution rights and all that
