the old karma-thing.
target your audience: if illegal downloads don't convert into legal ones because you didn't manage to make people want to OWN your record, then there's something wrong with the way you put your music out, the way you behave, the music itself, which means in short, a problem with your personality and your ego.
now, you can't force people to buy your music if they don't want to. In this case, those people don't belong to your target audience. Ignore them, move on to something more positive that makes everyone happy.
The last year I bought for at least 600$ in digital downloads. All those tracks had those three things in common. They were marketed in a clever way, well-targeted, and they were incredibly good in their own style.
The same last year I got a zillion tracks through promo pools. How many do I play on my car stereo?
Conclusion: if you want to sell music, first of all, focus on how much heart you put into it and target your audience, and soon or late, it will become successful on its own without having to force it too much. Everything else makes you either ridiculous or not-credible for your target audience. |

| Out of curiosity, Lolo, how worried are you personally about the effects of piracy on stuff you're involved in? |

| Unless Funkagenda is like deadmau5, doesn't he play other producers' music at his gigs to get famous, just like every other DJ? |

I used to be extremely worried, until recently when I realized what shape music is into because of that worry/fear. Yes I subscribe to a service that has all sharing links removed in less time, but besides that, I can't be mad at people for spreading culture. You'll always have those who don't want to pay, those who can't afford it, then those who effectively buy your music, whatever it is. They're called your fans. And this is only for those people that you have to deliver, outside yourself of course. |

How can this guy dare talk about copyright when he rips off melodies of massive tracks and does not credit them
ie
the Arena = Andy Ling - fixation. |
