I mean the guys trusted by the labels and artists who get tunes before the general public and leak them.
This genuinly hurts releases, sometimes even cancels them.
How can you s do it ? does it make u feel all fuzzy inside knowing that youre the one who leaked the new G&D production, or some new Schulz remix ?

You can't blame it all on the rippers ... label's/artists have to take their responsibility too. Evidently the likes of G&D, Markus Schulz, etc are frequently doing something wrong if their stuff repeatedly keeps leaking ... all it'd take would be to add a signature sound to each CDR they send out and they'd soon find a culprit. It's funny that it doesn't seem to be a problem for artists like John Askew & Paul van Dyk ... obviously they're slightly more cautious with who they send what to. |

Two things need to be done.
Labels need to watermark.
Labels need to be more watertight.
Vandit do it. How come you never see a really early leaked copy of Vandits work?
J00f new White Label Republic got leaked 2 months before release - I've been vocal about this on here cos it pissed me off. Bull to this 'try before you buy - I'll get it when its released' stuff, no you all wont. Guaranteed. Obviously someone somewhere leaked it, who did it isnt known. J00f is a great label, but a hole needs to be plugged somewhere.
Vandits TPOD2 is finished. But no-one even knows the full tracklist, let alone has a rip of it. Thats how it should be. The public should not be able to get their hands on it until release. Whatever you say about Vandit holding back on tunes etc, you have to admit they are watertight.
IMO sharing singles in any way is wrong. Digital Download stores are there for that - buy the damn tune. Its cheap now and you dont get raped for postage. Of course getting exposure for an unsigned tune is ok, but perhaps only 96kb versions should be spread.
And dont whine about not being able to hear the latest tunes - thats what livesets are for.
Download & share livesets, not singles. |

the tracklist is on pauls site...
90% of vandit releases, were previously released somewhere else, so they are not holding back much. |

Inevitably its down to a misplacement of trust. Artists might share their tracks with people they feel they can trust, most of the time they probably can trust them not to share. But then the fun starts. It gets passed on from there to one of the guys friends who he feels he can trust.
Eventually it falls into sharing networks because the 'leaker' wants to be seen as 'leet' for having these tracks and wants to feel all big and mighty for having such exclusive material. |

you tayfoon
There will always be leakage like there will always be pirating and like there will always be thieves.
Deal with it. |

| Also to add, i'd imagine a lot of leaked material is actually produced by young internet using producers with little experience of the producing world. Leon Bolier and Jonas Steur spring to mind.... |

Leon's Back In The Days was recently leaked wich is pretty damn weak, there is no release date but the track is out there, as his agent this doesnt make me happy
Weve still yet to hear from the leakers, come on Arturob tell us a story |
