Don't shop with itunes

I'm sorry I just can't help it sometimes! ;)

But Pier if I make music I make it for free, if I ever made it big I would allow people to download it for free! I do pay my ridiculous amounts of $20+ AUD per cd but only when I can purchase direct from the artist! I paid over $20 for Alex Deegans, ANIM8 album!

I guess it's a matter of personal preference, I'll just do what I do but keep it on the low down, as suggested earlier! I honestly thought it was alot wider accepted though!

BTW do Traktor's updates cost? Like I looked on the NI site the other day and it said upgrade for $70 to 1.2.3????!!!

What a load of whale jizm! Who charges for updates? Well obviously NI does!

I dont know whether you're being serious or not, but everyone always gives this argument of "if I was a big producer I'd be cool with people having my shit for free", and it's these people who are really quite narrow minded. But putting all that aside, if a guy locks himself in a room for months on end slaving away learning his trade after spending a fortune on a load of expensive gear and after how ever long working away when all his mates are out having a good time and getting laid while he's still there working all the hours he can then finally comes out with a track I want...

...the least I could do is give the poor cunt 79p for crying out loud!

Personally I dont agree with music piracy, but each to their own I guess. If you feel you need to save yourself a few cents by downloading what is probably shit quality MP3's then go for it.

Mate you beat me to it... I completely agree with you. Also i got 50 quid of iTunes vouchers for christmas so I guess I'm stuck with them for a while! lol

I believe you have to be absolute about the whole thing, as in you either buy every bit of music you obtain and only then shit-can people who obtain illegally or unethically.

I only have 10,000 songs but if I were to buy them...I wouldn't have a motorbike in my shed because that's how much I would have spent getting all that music! Piracy is such a widely known and almost subconsciously accepted issue that producers should keep that in mind when sitting in their dark rooms for hours on end!

The fact that your music will never be safe from piracy! I say if you can't beat them...join them!

I lose no sleep!

This is my opinion of the topic anyway!

creative commons is the way to go. check it out

Just thought i'd say why i like itunes...

• i organise all my music in itunes
• when you buy it its copied staright in. No drag and drop business
• downloads are super quick
• the genius side bar is wicked. Playing a tune you like and then quickly listen to stuff simular
• the artwork is embedded
• it's cheap
  

Also there is loads of wicked underground music on there.

beatport have great variety i must say but for a comericial dj they are USELESS

DeeEss, you are an embarrassment to this forum, stop posting. You are the reason why people have a lot of problems with controllerism.

If people have a problem with controllerism, that's their problem not mine!

If I'm such an embarrassment then the mods will ban me! But until then Mr Combo Breaker with a Record Breaking 37 posts, it's a matter of perseverance!

Dee is entitled to his opinion just like everybody else. he may need a slap occasionally for mentioning piracy lol but apart from that he's more than welcome imo :p peace all.
