for the label owners out there
Have you seen piracy any worse then it is currently? I haven't. It seems like every day a new release pops up on an illegal download site and more and more voids pile up.

people are putting up our free releases on torrent sites, its like a social mass indexing of information on the internet free or stolen.Brian Ffar wrote:Have you seen piracy any worse then it is currently?

curious times we live in. I wonder how this will pan out, I have so many theories I can't even decide on one, regardless this is something we have to accept. Part of the reason I have moved to free releases because of more exposure than when selling digitally, and that I found digital releases not to be a viable solution for what I wanted to do.
often enough it happens that people indeed buy your tracks on Beatport and in one clean swoop they put them on their blog. Honestly can't see why on earth you would do that.Themis wrote:Where do the rips come from?
Is there seriously some guy who buy the vinyl for 8 Euro and rip it afterwards?
If i invest 8 Euro in an LP, i wouldnt give it free to everyone afterwards..
And vinyl only stuff is indeed also getting ripped like crazy. Even the promos get put online faster then you can get them to the few stores left standing.
Seems like for some people it all really needs to get to a point where there will indeed be nothing left to upload because they will have killed off everything.

Within that community there are also rock stars, so a person who get 1 of the 10 promos that Perlon sends out, and can supply this to his 'group' will of course be a star for these people...Themis wrote:Where do the rips come from?

Indeed but it's also a bit the fault of big superstar dj's who get lot's of promo's and if they don't like them just bring them to second hand shops before the release date.patrick bateman wrote:Within that community there are also rock stars, so a person who get 1 of the 10 promos that Perlon sends out, and can supply this to his 'group' will of course be a star for these people...Themis wrote:Where do the rips come from?

I assume if Perlon sends like 10 promo's they have an idea who those people are. So it's every ones responsibility to make sure the scene stays healthy. Especially with promo's or tracks that aren't released yet.
