So, about all those DOWNLOAD MY TRACK FOR FREE NOW! Facebook/Twitter updates

[faderswagger]

BUT.

What do you mean by if you can't find it for free you won't play it? Surely that massively limits what you can play? Unless you mean pirated copies which is a whole different thing.

If you talk about piracy on this forum, your post gets deleted. Padi's being quite a zealot about that...

But it's somewhat rare that I can't somehow get ahold of a track i want to play for free.

In this current world of music, getting someone to even download your track is a victory concerning promotion.

Not only padi is zealot on that, I am as well. If you can't imagine why we can not endorse software product piracy, this says more about you than the entire community that made DJTechTools or its' moderation.

Just think what would happen if we were to discuss piracy and even endorse it?
If thinks go completely pear, it could mean the end of this community!

It's quite easy to state that moderators get zealous, but it's more difficult to think about the bigger picture here (and having to act up on it being a moderator).
Please think about that before making any bold statements in future.

I understand the reason for the rule. I'm just disputing the interpretation and enforcement OF the rule. I was making a targeted reference about the other day, when padi deleted a comment and "warned me" when I had in no way condoned or suggested piracy, just suggested someone look into getting traktor for free, and warned him not to talk about piracy, as it would be deleted. It was abuse, and he's not been able to show me where it's written that I broke a rule, nor come up with a defense, so I'm not going to let it go until there's some resolution.


Further, this shouldn't really be clogging up the forum, so if you want to discuss it, feel free to PM me. I only post this in the open so that it's at least known that there's something going on on the moderator side.

Haha, and you probably don't even get how you're contradicting yourself, do you?

Back on topic please.

[tekki]

If you got stuff to address, do it to us directly, don't fill topics with this information.
(Also, if you do fill other topics with this, don't expect us not to answer.)

Like photojojo said:"Back on topic please."

How did you get into the position of Moderator again? Clearly your objectiveness and ability to act without personal bias wasn't taken into consideration. Neither was your judgement, as you've just warned that you'll continue to fill other threads with this discussion.

Exactly. The market is just saturated. Anyone who wants to can release a track, so there are so many that it stops being worth it to sift through all the garbage. I honestly doubt it's possible to get a considerable about of attention on a track, no matter how incredible it is, without outside marketing. This is why trying to sell these tracks on top of that is just such a joke.

Seen on youtube somewhere some guy interviewed Zedd and Dillon Francis, they both said, release your stuff for free unless it is TOP tier, then try get it signed to a decent label, medium tier and free downloads will you get you a bigger fanbase, oh and top40 remixes get you well known if theyre good.
