I wonder if the rules they are setting in place, such as the whole "20% talking vs 80% music" and "interference every 20% of the length of the podcast", are THEIR rules or official rules.
I also wonder if everyone who sold their labels to Armada are regretting it now. I still can't believe the ones who composed the music are not allowed to play the full track.:rolleyes:
these kinda things happen in the rock industry all the time. i remember when i was little nirvana was told that they couldn't play some of their tracks at the vma's, i think it was 'rape me', now the questions is: how could someone dictate whether i choose to play one of my creations or not? well, because they paid u for that piece of music and now it's theirs. however, it is the labels responsibility to or more like the artist's lawyer to negotiate with the labels how will royalties work. if armada will charge for anyone to play their tracks on a podcast, then armada should give a % of that income to the artist.

Ah yes. Thanks for putting it in that perspective.

Obviously that comparison is completely besides the point.
MTV only had the right to ban explicit language from their shows, which is also what they did and they do that because of specific laws regarding explicit language on TV.
You could only compare it if that track didn't contain explicit language and MTV still banned it or something.

well one thing seems to be quite obvious from the Armada-statements.. -they arent selling too much music these days..! now they obviously blaim piracy (via podcasts amongst other things), but I think they fail to see the main issue; they do not release music that's good enough to make people want to pay for it..! in my eyes, the piracy-problem hasnt increased dramatically in general the latest years -lots of legal alternatives have been established and runs successfully.. its just that Armada who, through their increased commersialisation, have exposed themselves much more towards the type of audience that is more likely to acquire their music illegally, at the same time as they have moved away from their old base of "fans"/costumers who are more loyal and actually are willing to pay for music because they have a genuine interest for it...
if the music is good enough, people will pay for it, no matter if its played in a podcast or not or whatever..

the demographic of their fanbase is 15yo kids with access to warez.
and they wonder why their record sales are not higher - - a real humdinger of a question considering their dirty tactics to keep re-cycling releases on sites like Beatport through "compilations".
limiting the use of their music on podcasts isn't going to solve any illegal downloading issues. It's just going to frustrate their artist roster into going to a separate label to promote their music.

that stuff is so extremely annoying..! spamming is the only right word for it..! makes it almost impossible to stay updated on any artist who's involved with armada -there's always a "new" release, but 95% of the times, its just a recycled one!

Right on.... guess selling out wasn't as lucrative as they planned :stongue:

Are you really serious about that? I always wonder what is the definition of that quality and second I doubt someone listened all Armada releases to know it's all rubbish.

Armada today is one forgettable disposable POP anthem after another. end of story.

So when it all is pop why is everybody bitching about a label that realeses tracks of another genre?
