Cabbog is a troll, he's shadowing me! Look at that devious look.
I find it funny how WATMM and Planet Mu regulars put this site down, and we NEVER put them down... hmmm... ponder THAT.

i can easely see why this board has this reputation : everytime someone ask where to find this or that he gets many responses guiding him towards soulseek... if this isn't promoting mp3s... and its generaly electronic music from warp/rephlex&co

This SITE doesn't endorse illegal MP3 trading, but the PEOPLE on the site do. Phob has nothing to do with it. Why blame him?
Blame Satanic evil motherfuckers like me. *snarl

it would be better if people on this site direct users to the record label websites rahter tahn to soulseek sometimes - they'd fine more music and more about the music

be realistic, most the people who ask will be wanting to get the mp3s, in the end it doesn't make any difference

astrid...check that thread over at Planet-mu...
Mike himself says that he doesn't feel it's file sharing that's affecting his sales...
and you're preaching to the converted here...most of us are long term CD buyers who have supported the IDM scene for a long time...
Easy to point fingers, my friend...less easy to think thru some possible solutions...

that's not entirely true to be honest - and i'm not pointing fingers i'm tryiong to point people in a newr direction - my complaint is that record labels give away reliable mp3's on their sites and there is loads of other interesting stuff as well ..why give it to villans like soul seek who make money from data etc by hosting stuff that's not ligitematley put there ...
mike paradinas has changed his tune since that interview posted yesterday then..

Soulseek doesn't make any money...it currently supports 1 bloke and only just & only very recently...so I don't really see em as villians...
File-Sharing isn't going to go away...you have to take it as a given and try and find a way to work with it, rather than alienate your customers by treating em as theives (which seems to be the current feeling)...
& yeah, Mike P is saying diff than that interview...maybe he's got more info now, I dunno...

Oh man all those whinning record artists are getting on my nerves. Do they actually know how many records are released per week only in the in Electronic / Dance sector ?
About 300-400, theres more music than ever, of course they are having a hard time competiting with their competitors.
Planet Mu, sucks anyway, Ive only downloaded a few Venetian Snares mp3s, and they sucked anus.

If not for file sharing, I wouldn't have bought the few Aphex albums that I do have.
Not that proves anything, I'm still a cheap college bastard that won't buy anything, but at least they got SOMETHING out of me.

i just think it's fucked that any of the following - fatboy slim, prodigy, chemical brothers, basement jaxx, and groove armada - outsell every artist on warp, rephlex, skam, ninja tune, and planet mu combined.
