what you forget it that being DJ takes alot less talent than being a procuder. what's harder?.. mixing 10 tracks together or producing the same 10 tracks? the record companies or artists own the rights to the tracks not the DJ. If you made a track and i started making money off of it because i in essence just pressed the play button, you'd be pissed to. more than anything, it's illegal. blah blah blah.

Hello,

This is Arthur. I'm the one that used to run TripleDecks.com

I thought I should reply to this thread in person.

Regarding the Mach 3 CD. This CD was given to us by DJ Avro
(we don't dub the CDs ourselves). All our CDs (live & studio) are sold
with the understanding that the DJ (or Promoter) has permission to sell the tracks on the CD. This has always been the case.

It is illegal to re-sell music without the artists permission.

I remember when I was a kid, and I bought my first trance
mixtape (OS/2) at Xtatic (old Toronto store). I used to listen
to it for weeks. I can't imagine what it would have been like
if that store never existed, or if OS/2 didn't make a tape because
he didn't have the right permissions.

We opened TripleDecks.com because I wanted to give people in small
cities (who didn't have access to stores like Xtatic) the same
chance to buy the music I had. We wanted to provide a service, and
that's what we did. Noone got rich off of it.

I understand where everyone is coming from. The store is closing because everyone involved decided it was time to turn another page in their lives and move into something else.

We still like the music, and tranceaddict.com is a great site. Please continue this thread. I enjoyed reading it. It's important to discuss the legality/benefits of this mixtape/mix-CD industry.

is there anything that you can do about this situation with regards to either removing it from sale or taking action against the person who gave it to you on a basis that was obviously false or not checked ?
