A Little pre-Christmas story....

(Artist Name _blog) and find the site that houses the link to the actual entire record? More and more people are going to start doing this; it's not going to go away.
Those of us into producing or DJ'ing with Ableton Live, who are too pure to illegally download something, would probably rather own the vinyl then buy an MP3 record. I know I would.
me not, i am happy that i don't have to buy and keep vinyls anymore... thanks to technology. i was a hardcore vinyl freak not even touched CDs ever, until i discovered Traktor 3 triggered via a midi controller WITHOUT CONTROL TIMECODE RECORDS!!! that was the best thing since my first time i DJ-ed that happened to me. but that is off topic, though.Those of us into producing or DJ'ing with Ableton Live, who are too pure to illegally download something, would probably rather own the vinyl then buy an MP3 record.

and DJs who play often or professionel ususally buy digitally and pay for it, because they respect and want that others pay for there tracks as well, ask WAS how much there whatpeopleplay.com added to there sells...

GAFM ***http://torrentfreak.com/firefox-pirates ... on-081203/Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, is under attack by online pirates. An add-on for the Firefox browser called ‘Pirates of the Amazon’ makes it possible to shop at the Amazon store but leave without paying a dime. Instead, on Amazon product pages the add-on integrates links to ‘free’ copies on The Pirate Bay.
I'm still amazed that even on this forum pirating tunes is considered acceptable. it'll come down to who has bigger lawyers, music makers with day jobs saving up for new gear or thieves making money with little effort. or a big third party corporation will step in and get the government to give them control.
/off to the record shop to buy used CDs that only profit the store.
(I feel old still calling it a record shop, but goddamnit, that's what it is...)

Would be something if the entire site like Rapidshare was "coated" by the Government so that once everything was downloaded from that site, a noise (would need to be the same tone for everything) would go off every 30 seconds kinda like when you demo a software program. That tone would be the most recognizable sound ever heard; even more than the old school telephone ringing.
You couldn't play it.
Couldn't DJ it
Couldn't re-sell it
Just "preview" it, like you are supposed to be doing anyway.
The US government could do this rather easily, one would think.
It's not like music has become less popular... it's just simply too easy to steal.

really? so you've been fined for all your illegal mp3s? do you know anyone that has? you don't know anyone who's ever put an mp3 online for someone else to download?thelike5 wrote:Hefty fines will speak loader then beepsTone Deft wrote:then you go to a site that doesn't 'beep'. then the government finds that site and 'beeps' it, ultimately hackers beat the government within days or months, they always will.

you need money for an instrument.... and the whole chain, recording, distro, etc.Macrostructure wrote:hmm....not sure about this one. care to elaborate?SubFunk wrote:music needs to be a business, otherwise no one can afford the creation.
therefore i think it needs to be business orientated, doesn't mean to be greedy, but in order to get thinks going you need money, there is nothing wrong with making money from music, i thing oposite. and in an ideal music is making money to be able to create more music.

Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.
