I saw it on beatport, it was territory restricted.

I went to Juno, Audiojelly etc etc. and it wasn't available.

So I googled it to see if I might possibly be able to find a store that sold it. I was crying out to pay for this tune. But alas, I found nowhere.

But I did find a place that was showing a link to a rapidshare page offering it for free.

My dilema: do I wait for an undisclosed amount of further time for this track to be made available in my country (I've been trying to buy it, on and off, for about 2 months now), or do I just say "Fuck it - I've tried my hardest to pay but the bastards want to make it difficult for me so I'll just 'steal' it."

I think you all can guess what I did.

What are your views on this?

If I can't buy the song, I'll go download it elsewhere.
Once the song becomes available in your country then go purchase it. That's what I've been doing.

It is what it is.

If you're unable to purchase something that is for sale (mostly due to exactly what you described), then I'm not going to look down on you for downloading it. The only problem occurs when you spin it out, but if you just play it in your bedroom then no, you're not an asshole.

I'm gonna try and email labels directly now and ask for a copy explaining that I want to pay for it...

Will do, I just have to remember which territory restricted tracks I wanted to buy...


Also, how the fuck could I get sued for asking to buy a track?

Records labels don't choose not to sell it to you. That wouldn't make any sense. The reason for territory restrictions is because a different label has the rights to sell it in your country.
You really think labels would for just no reason what so ever choose to make less money?


It is just annoying to constantly hear people go on about it, I know it is shit, but at least blame the right person.

Yes, I know this, but I wonder if they would sell it to me individually if I asked?


And again, how could one get sued for asking to buy a track?

They obviously wouldn't sue you for asking to buy 'a' track. However, if you admittedly tell them you illegally downloaded there track and now want to pay for it, they may have a case on there hands.
