regardless of his veiws on filesharing (which i dont happen to agree with) he still makes some of the best trance around. stop being whining arses, so what if he dont like filesharing.... i would rather put up with his veiws and still have amazing trance than not have his trance.

I agree with Mosh_Man and SYNthSHRI.If your income from your music is what decides whether you continue to produce music or not,I'd have severe doubts about your motives as a producer in the first place.If you were a really passionate producer with love for the music you make,you wouldn't drop your producing just cos you don't make as much money as you could.And don't tell me he can't afford to produce anymore cos of mp3s.He has earned lots of money already, and his mailbox is probably swamped already with tons of e-mails from labels waving a checkbook in his face to get his signature.And even if that wasn't true,if he was really in it for the music,he'd get a job on the side like so many other producers out there have,and continue to make music as much as he could.

If Laurent considers to stop producing cos of these events,then I'm not gonna stop him.It'll be a great loss for the scene of course,I loved his productions just as much as anyone on the forum.(*torontotrances it*I even got his autograph on a piece of vinyl)
But if this is all it takes for him to call it a day,then I'm suspicious of his motives for being in the scene in the first place.

I like Airwave, but I think he is just interested in making money, because of something HE said, some time ago:

"If you make a copy for yourself with no intention to sell it, you don't have to be considered as a thief coz music is universal and you have the right to listen to it though."

And now, he blames the mp3s for being the reason for his "poverty"??? In my opinion his statement makes absoluteley no sense, because mp3s are the best promotion! They have to realize that!

before you call him a coward why dont you realize your a hypocrite (stopped sharing music off your server cause of link stealing). l-vee stopped cause hes pissed about no one buying his music and distributing it all on mp3s...hey id be pissed too. if hes a "coward" then so are you.

wookieslut , that's diffrent
I never said I stoped I said COULD
but that's doesn't metter , cuz of the link stealing the server was overloaded and crashed , now sri did hard work and bringed it back.

That's not nothing like that , I'd still give stuff for people that like but it won't be like what was before........it was so meny (ABOUT 1GB) and you could view everything , so it got to all sorts of other places - now that not good for me.
oh yeah , I'm an hypocrite because I gave you stuff for free so long well I don't think so - it's not like I'm dead

James Holden is my only GOD!

like i said in the other 2 topics about this, start releasing cd singles and maxis adn ill buy your music rather than downloading it, not every guy wants to buy vinyl!!!

I download lots of tracks and buy everythign i like that is availible on cd. I now have over 900 cd singles and maxis, but i cnat buy airwaves stuff if he dosent release it on the format that i choose to use.

Lost language cottoned on about a year ago when they axed their cd releases. Soon after, they made cdr's (not pressed with cover) availible from the hooj website, which i now buy 10 copies of every release, just so they will keep the production going. I even offered to buy whatever minimum amount of copies they would need to sell to keep them releasing the cdrs. Money isnt a problem for me, but if LL had continued with vinyl only releases, i would have been burnign the rips to cd, resulting in no monye for them!

I'll sign once he decalres that there will be cd releases in the future. If someone who is in contact with him, could pass this message on to him or put it in a place where it might be seen by him, id be most greatful.

I hope he dosent decide to give up, but there are alot of poeple out there that want cds aswell as vinyl!

i think that airwave/l-vee is a great producer of trance music, but i dont think that mp3s are the problem of the music industry.

the problems are the a&rs and the record companys...

they only want to make the "fast money" and do no support to any producers or acts.

they sign every f***ing producion if the producer is a good friend...but nobody will buy this in the shops cause the listeners hear that this is a bad production or just another copy of a track that has been released 2 months earliyer.

there many other problems such like this in record companys...ungerground & major labels.
