Originally posted by Jer Gigs are nice, but that doesn't mean it's alright to lose over four fifths of your publishing revenue to people that just want to "preview" shit. I've never sat down and written / arranged / A&Red anything for anyone for the purpose of being "fodder" or buffer material to get one's name out there. If you're serious about releasing music, it's a labour of love and it's material that you want to be successful. I'm not having a go at anyone in particular here, but if you're saying it's inconvenient to listen to a preview (or even the whole goddamned thing) on YouTube / Beatport / iTunes / insert portal here.. Well, you're not convincing anyone who has some sense. Music piracy is pretty entrenched in our culture and while there are some trying to change the way the system works and move back to monetizing it, it doesn't make it morally okay.

How much you selling wristbands for??

Originally posted by Nick Cenik With all due respect, please don't use TOTA as a means to ask for help re: how to download illegally shared music - it offends me as a producer.

you mean to say it offends you as a wanna-be with a cracked copy of ableton, some stolen VSTs and a bunch of samples you probably didn't buy? lol, douche.

Originally posted by Nick Cenik My only reply: 1. You're asking for help re: how to steal music more easily - which is exactly what I called you out on as I spoke only about productions and said nothing about sets. There has been no misinterpretation of your intentions on my behalf: 2. Producers do not want people stealing their music - period. Do not try to justify your actions by suggesting that stealing is acceptable because it leads to more exposure of artists' sounds. That point is true, but it doesn't make your behaviour any less deplorable. 3. It seems to me that every person that owns a computer these days downloads pirated software/games/movies/music etc. I take offence when people like you blatantly and publicly reveal your desire to steal music and ask others how to help accomplish the theft. 4. I've never once asked anybody to 'pity' me, simply to support my music as a local DJ/producer in the Toronto scene. I'm incredibly blessed and thankful for the fact that my music is supported by many friends, fellow music enthusiasts, and a number of very talented and successful artists (from Anthony Attalla to UGLH to Sharam of Deep Dish). 5. It's absolutely pathetic for you to mention the fact that I've used TOTA - a community full of many people whom I know in real life and care about - to discuss and seek advice for my chronic pain. I suffer from Allodynia...not a 'rash'. 6. Fuck you.

.... Too much trolling has occured!
