This Is Why Music Is Pirated
Heard this track:
Want to put it in my Shopping Cart. CLICK the beatport link (For USA ONLY):
Now what am I left to do?
Buy it on itunes?
I don’t see it there. They don’t like my money either. 
use junodownload.com
if it’s a territory restriction…i understand…
thanks. Someone will take my money.
That’s BS. While the distributor and the labels are jerking each other, a sale is lost and the artist doesn’t get jack sh*t.
Tunes come out as vinyl only exclusives too. That doesn’t mean I have the right to steal them.
Territory restrictions make no sense in a digital society, they are basically dooooooomed.
Agreed, it’s like turning down free money. 
not necessarily. they have to license their stuff out to other labels to do sales, distribution and promotion for said territory. if no label is willing to take the risk of licensing it of them, you are out of luck.
the artist is out of luck.
all of the wheeling and dealing should be done before the release.
if no international partners are interested, the track should be released as a promo globally (no territory restrictions) for a limited time.
if these sales are hot, then the international partners will be interested.
if the sales are cold, then bite the bullet and global release on the original label.
at least this model let’s the artist have a global footprint throughout the process.
You got it Loverocket.
The music industry is pretty weird when it comes to distribution. It’s actually amazing it’s worked for such a long time. Though I will say that the industry is pretty behind on digital distribution of any kind (pirating was available before legitimate digital music stores…).
I agree that digital distribution should be more global though. Since we’re not dealing with physical copies most of the time, distributors don’t have much if any money to lose. They just take a cut of the profits anyway.
A work around for this problem might be proxying in from a different territory to buy the track. Or if that doesn’t work, seeking direct contact with the distributor or artist might be another way.
I think the Oatmeal described it best: I tried to watch Game of Thrones and this is what happened - The Oatmeal
bwahahahahaha ^
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago trying to buy Juno Reactor’s new album. Literally every store was territory restricted, so fuck 'em
I agree, digital distribution restrictions is just bullsh*t. I don’t get it, the are losing money in this way…
Did you try Juno? 
yes
