mars Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Hi guys, I've just written a big letter of apologies to Cosmosis, who had posted here to ask us to remove some direct download mp3 of his latest album Contact ! This is amongst the things i totally hate to do. We are doing all we can to promote atrists and we end up in trouble with some of them because of 2 kinds of people : the mp3 traders who have no respect for the work of the artists they listen to, and the moderators of those forums. Shame, shame, shame on us all. ...Grrrrrr i've seen there has been no moderation here for a while... ** So first, i'm looking for serious motivated and available moderators. please email me (mars@planet-d.net) if you wanna apply. ** Second here are a few rules i wrote here a few times in 2002, but that the stubborn and the new ones here need to remember : - those are english forums, definitely. even if some mexican/danish/french party changes its location 1 hour before it starts, please speak here in english ! - sex related threads are tolerated on the offtopic only as long as they are related to >18 people. understood ? porn ads will be moderated as well. - drug related threads should be treated reasonably too... - no piracy talking, anywhere. if you speak about cracked software or ripped mp3s, that's piracy. if you speak about some hub on dc++, that's not. you see ? - no cd selling, no trading, no advertisement on the general forum. i'm afraid we have got some problems with that. plz go on the offtopic one for that for now on. - i already see some of you complain and say i'm a dictator or something. i promise, we won't take over your freedom. however, imagine an artist sues us because he thinks our forums link too many of his track....we were lucky this time with Cosmosis. Moreover, in france, where those forums' server is hosted, a webmaster can be charged for what's written on his message boards and his site can be forced to close. currently french authorities do whatever they can to crush any techno community. in other words, i wouldn't like to have psynews closed after 3 years. maybe that's unlikely to happen, but you never know. if it had to happen, *you people* would be the first to complain and Children would kick my ass too. please understand, give peace a chance, and see you. mars.

Guest Hallucinogenious Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 the solution is one: how will we destroy the mp3s ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Dwyer Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I still think trading mp3's is disgusting, and always will. It i fin from mp3.com and when groups like Son Kite place a live recodring etc, but seirously, think before you rip off artists, it is so insulting. Yes I am one to talk, any body can come over to check if I have mp3, and I have none, I have bought hundreds of psy cd's, and at time have missed out on some classics becuase I didn't have the money, I feel so much more prouder when I go to a gig to see and act I love and realise that at least a small portion of that money went towards the creation of the music that I am enjoying, stealing in anyway is wrong, and yes, I have learnt from the many mistakes I have made on this forum when buying secondhand cd's, so don't bring it up again ok?? Seriously, respect the artists, it means more goodies for their studio'ss, more chance for younger producers to enjoy the scene, and for us more music to listen and dance to, already we have lost so many great labels and acts that went with them, setting back great albums and singles to be released, stop the mp3 trading right now.

Guest psyfi Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 what's the problem with selling/trading original cds? i mean, it shouldn't be a problem to only do so in the off-topic forum but what's the reason? it is perfectly legal, isn't it?

Guest WSTE_M Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Thanks for reappearing. and i aprove of the points, though might I suggest a seperate forum for buy/sell CD/vinyl ? there is only so much goa published, and it would be nice to exchange something once in a while.

Guest Brett Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Listen guys, I understand what everyone says about downloading MP3s, but what about the people who simply cannot get their hands on psytrance. I live in a little town in South Africa, and I've only seen 2 psy cd's for sale here, Infected mushroom - classical mushroom, and Alien project - dance or die. These cd's cost about R290 which is very expensive over here considering that a barman only makes about R7 or R8 an hour!!!! So what else am I supposed to do??? Our exchange rate also leaves much to be desired so buying from psyshop is out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
