Guest ird Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 "There's no way that "ordinary" people will be able to crack the files" Well, the "ordinary" people will use the cracks created by top-notch hackers, it's always been like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest APlusC Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 There is nothing wrong with downloading mp3's (even psy ones). If it wasn't for mp3's I would have probably never discovered psy anyway. My policy is to buy only the stuff I like - after I listen to it. So thanks to mp3's $300 - $400 of my money went to psy artists. I would never buy an album unless I listened to a few tracks and really liked them. No matter how poor an artist is I would not buy his stuff IF I don't like it.

Guest dafreak Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I Probably cant support this argument coz i myself have posted 3 or 4 posts regarding mp3z...First of all let me give u a list of Cdz available in India The 2 infected albums one astral album and two shidapu albums all the comps have traxx mainly from shidapu...infected and artists like the older lot mainly from this group...I got hooked onto this music when i went for my first party in goa..the dj was very friendly and he told me that in none of the parties do they by music and play it its all unreleased stuf and promos sent by artisits themselves..If it wanst for Mp3z my listening of This kind of music would have extended to infected mushroom only.. So if any new music is released i buy it on tape here coz its cheap 2.5$s if coverted and then i own the music cds cost 12$ u may say thats cheap but 12 $s is a lot of money .for me... psyshop is expenseive due to shipping charges and import tax and duty so if u expect me two pay 25 to 30 $ for a single cd u must be crazy The reason i asked for where to download the GMS Cd and album covers is coz i own the albums whos covers i want and GMS is not avilable... peace and har har mahadev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stringtheory Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Like I said....For people who cannot afford to buy the albums...Go to mp3.com and download all the free music they have. Not having the money to buy a cd doesn't give a person the right to steal the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mahadeva Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 If someone really loves what he/her is doing he won't care about how his/her music is circulating, of course everybody needs to eat, but first that psytrance artist i care about a lot of other people who needs monetary help, like poor children, etc... I think the last thing one could do is asking permition (and that's exactly what i'm doing, in a successfull way ) to the artist. I mean, there is a lot of things who doesn;t have the strenght of what i'm looking for, so mp3 trading would be good to see what is good to have and then if you like buy it. I think the best way to support all the scene is bying compilations. Still i think that if you make trance hoping to make money from it, better rob a bank or be a working person. One makes trance for love, and if the people who trade it consider that, then they could send money directly to the artist or at least write to him telling that his music is changing your life, i think that will be greatly appreciated, artist get a bigger reward than money, they travel all over the world and see how is the party everywere, in that sense they have more freedom than a lot of people, so if they want a lot of $ they would have to choose other profession, there is a lot of poorer people out there who i feel more compassion than music making people who i;m sure doesn;t know what is not having what to eat at all. Maybe artists and music listeners should get togheter to create a new society, free from all these money making thing, were art is the center of everything.

Guest stringtheory Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 If they are that poor, then how can they afford a computer and internet access ???? If you can't afford to buy psytrance, go to mp3.com. Plain and simple. Moreover, the above post sounds like a cop out to me. The bottom line is that the artists need to make a living. They don't deserve to be dirt poor because you say they shouldn't care about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
