audiogalaxy is crazy!

just for fun I try searching for my own mixes from time to time. Usually I get a couple of hits (like 2 or 5 at best). Today I searched for my newest one and found it, but this came out:

" dj dawn - October 2001

SEARCH PROHIBITED You cannot request this song due to copyright restrictions. Please try a different search. "

What's this??????

my own mix, dl prohibited? On what do they base their blocking?
I don't understand this at all....
anyone?


edit: I just searched some more: "June 2001", "Technoid", "Retroactive" all blocked!! Only "On the beach" is still there. This sux!

did you set the copyright bit in your MP3? that could be why.. either that or they though "hmmm loads of tracks mixed together... that MUST be copyrighted" twats.

...sometimes when we go to the mall we see things that we want, but we can't afford them. Happens to me all the time. Don't sweat it, Steve, I don't think it'll happen again!

I never set a copyright bit....the mixes were ALL available until yesterday. It just changed from one day to the other.

if they are vinyl mixes, then ag have no right to block them. so you ought to email them and complain.

argue the toss with them! lol! nothings more stressful than a company war, believe me i no, i have ntl! muahha! lol!

coup I'm sorry, I don't get what you're saying???
please explain again.

I guess I will email AG, but I don't know if I could get into any kind of trouble (worst case scenario).

Well..

technically, it should be illegal to even record a mix.

actually, no.. not in europe, you pay that public license fee right?

over in canada, even to play a record for your friends is public performance and thus illegal.

LAME!

Thats not true RavingLunatic. Your friend is not public. Its private. Otherwise you wouldnt be able to listen to a CD unless you were by yourself. And thats not true.

Public performance means like IN PUBLIC. like a park for other people. But really, nobody will ever crack down on a PURCHASED Vinyl or CD being played unless that is the specific purpose of the event. IE. Come listen to XXX-XXX for $10. that they would get mad at. Otherwise, music would be non existant other than radio

Yeah I know, they won't crack down on you. but technically, it's illegal, to throw a party and play a record, in canada. trust me. I looked it up, and have had discussions..

but, technically, it's illegal to jaywalk, or to do a lot of things.

doesn't mean you will ever get busted for it.

One thing that's clear to me is that AG sucks nowadays.

LoL! About a year ago PISSBURGH (Pittsburgh) started to give jaywalkers tickets in the city cause so many people do it.
