Well done on upping prices, assholes.
I know this happened for the UK last year, but for me anyway, in Ireland, I could still buy stuff in US Dollars, making Beatport nice and cheap. They have removed this now and directly transferred prices into euros, so what was $1.99 is now €1.99.
Similarly their .wav file 'handling fee' has gone up from $1 to €1.
So now, a standard 1.99 track with handling -
$1.99 + $1 = $2.99
€1.99 + €1 = €2.99 = $4.34
So the price has gone up about 40%, which is completely ludicrous and cant be explained away by any rights issues, cost of living increases or general inflation.
Fuck you Beatport, fuck you very much. Trackitdown again for me. Although trackitdowns prices were slightly higher under the old scheme it worked out the same as they dont charge .wav handling.
I know it wont get my anywhere, but theres a stinky email been sent. |
I feel your pain, however isn't the euro Ireland's local currency?
In the US, people earn X US dollars and buy tracks for Y US dollars.
In Ireland, you earn X euro and buy tracks for Y euro.
...my point being that what you earn is relative to the price of the tracks you are buying.
