First heard this on Sasha/Digweed's bonaroo set and loved it on first listen - awesome track.
So i went to Beatport to buy it and BAM, was hit with the territory restriction :(
Having trouble finding this as mp3 and im not a fan of giving my credit card details to crappy mp3 sites. Is it possible that this track will eventually become available in the UK, so i'll just have to wait? Or any other suggestions? |

I tried buying it first time it came on beatport and got that message.
Just get it off soulseek, I can't see how artists can complain about that when they won't actually allow you to obtain their material legally.:rolleyes: |

Hmmm, true. I would have tried dc++ already but my current internet connection doesn't allow it. Not tried soulseek in years tho, so i'll give that a shot. |

I always make it a point not to pay for a high quality copy of a tune that is "Territory Restricted."
It may take an extra day or two, but in general they aren't too hard to track down, and if companies like Beatport and EDM labels in general aren't going to address the absolutely ludicrous system they have in place that leads to such restrictions, I have absolutely no ethical issues with getting a track for free.
If you aren't going to let me pay for it, I'm going to get it however I can. |

| Yep..usually if you complain about it in the forum, beatport will give you an alternative site to get the track from. Did you ever try going to beatport thru an international proxy? I believe their territory restrictions are based on your IP, not your CC info. |

Yeah, lots of people have suggested that before, but I've never tried it, nor do I know anyone who has.
I just think the practice of "territory restrictions" is in general is archaic and utterly irrelevant considering the new manner in which music is bought and sold (digital vs. hard copies). |

Yeah, punish the artist for something the label does. |

Right now I think it falls just as much, if not more so, upon the artist to pursue a fair means of compensation.
Record Labels don't seem to be too keen on changing much in an already biased system, nor do they really have any incentive to, so who else is going to push for change?
:conf: |

Sure enough, but downloading the stuff illegally isn't going to change anything either.
Edit:
Then again there's a certain form of release (or two) that doesn't have said restrictions... ;) |
