| Just curious. I was a little flattered when I saw pages of torent sites with a remix of mine but then I was a little upset. Last week I played a show and one of the DJs told me when I was playing the track how much they liked it and they had just got it and loved it... however it was pirated....i sort of have mixed feeling about this, flattered on one had and upset on the other>>>>> |

| If I was famous, I would upload my own music to torrent sites. You earn all money from music sales, so you might as well just use it as a tool to get your name out there and get gigs... and fangirl ass. |

People download my music? Holy . I better put a stop to this...
justjabbin: Pandora's box has been open for a LONG TIME now... don't get upset. Because there's NOTHING you can do about it. If it were 12 years ago, people would be duping CDs of your track back and forth with each other. 10 years before that, they would have been trading cassette tapes. 10 years before that... tapes!
Anyway. The above is probably not even accurate. Not to be rude, but, there's a good change, that 10-20 years ago, no one would have even heard about you or your music if it weren't for the internet/digital releases. So you have to take the good with the bad buddy! File sharing and torrents are here to stay, you better get used to it. |

At this point I don't care cause I'm a nobody.
If I ever became famous like echo said, my attitude would be the exact opposite, and Id have a stronger obligation to attempt controlling it in whatever little ways I could.
And if you make a " all" amount of money, just imagine how much youd be making if people didn't pirate the . I still think very few people actually get to ever experience that though. |

echo said the opposite of that :conf:
1: nobody would download it even illegally unless you'r famous,
2: that's why echo said if he was to become famous he WOULD upload them to torrents for promotional purposes.
3: if torrents weren't around sales would most likely be exactly the same except the scene would be because nobody would ever experience new artists... who wants to buy the first single of some n00b??? but if i was going to download it for free and it turned out to be n awesome, i might tour him eventually... etc

i completely agree with this...
i can't stand the people who assume that if illegal downloads didn't exist the people illegally downloading would buy :haha:
this argument is like the 'safe injecting rooms make everyone want to inject heroin' issue... completely retarded..
you might lose 1000 bucks anually on sales if you have the hugest edm hit of the year, but you'll gain a huge income from gigs if your name becomes known... |

I never saw anything from the one track I released, but then again I'm not sure it sold much anyway. When I saw it up on torrents I was a bit sad, until 30sec later I realised that people out there were listening to and enjoying my track. So it's not all bad really.
I produce music as a hobby and if it makes people happy, then sweet. I don't do it for the money (lol money). |
