Not sure what to think, but not surprised either. Rumor has it several artists who were ripped off on Acrnym's latest release, "Flowers," have banned together and jointly sued the label. They settled out of court and this is the result. |

is there more info about this somewhere? (other than the sublight site).. |

The breakcore monopoly is dissolving. |

i think it's a money problem - come one it's a breakcore label - probably not even that because a lot of releases go even further - now are hard times for such. i cannot imagine that someone has actually sued acrnym for his releases. the breakcore scene is rather easy going. especially when it comes to the fact that nobody is really "clean" with their chopped samples from movies and other tracks which aren't legal for sure. |

Apparently one of the artists who was "ripped off" has a spouse who works for Acclaim videogames. I think the aforementioned breaks, in combination with the unlicensed Mortal Kombat samples, made for a rather dense case against the label. Perhaps it wasnt as much the music style stealing as it was the copyright infringement. Or so I've overheard... |

Oh well. Not really much of a loss. Venetian snares was kind of tiresome years ago. He really doesn't need as many avenues to flood the market with as he has. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
snares does not run sublight. it's a different aaron... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Agreed! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

what? wait, sublight is closing it's doors? wtf happened |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, its true. while it could easily be said that they weren't the best label, they did manage to put out some stuff im all too fond of. so like, where does wisp go now? planet-mu? wisp? |
||||||||
|

|

woohoo! |

Midway made Mortal Kombat. Acclaim also went down not so long ago. |

Vorpal and Ra were the only records I liked off the label. |

- The Richard Devine album was crap. - Snares couldnt even give them a full length, they got his arsed left over dick diarreha. - Funkarma's release was like Half-karma. - 000 and Datachi was somewhat memorable. - Aside from the new Puzzelweasel, everything else seemed like forgettable cookiecuttercore. |

My god you take this stuff seriously. You do realize I made this avatar to make fun of you, right? You're like some granny fretting over the style trends in lace curtains. |

Yeah because commenting on the quality of records on an electronic music message board is SO out of character. Give me a break. |

Dear Sirs, I am very concerned about the design of Spock's ears, particularly the lobe area, in the character design of your new Star Trek MMORPG. Indeed I fear that civilization may face a cataclysmic downturn if this crime against fandom is not rectified swiftly. Live Long and Prosper, A. Virgin |

Everybody download the docu 'good copy bad copy' from mininova (lol). Artists need to rethink their position in the playing field. Since hardcopies will get more and more obsolete, new combinations of artforms must arise. Sublight was illfated from the get go, building on an old dying model. |

I`m sorry to here that this happened. Breakcore is good genre, just the BIG GUYS think they are gods, and the little guys are annoying everyone else by making false idols out of these Amen geeks. It`s also genre that seems to be cloning itself, and some of the quility of music is pure shit. There is some really awesome new stuff out there, but you have to look past all the MAINSTREAM names. It`s too bad it has such a bad wrap with everyone, it really is a good genre. |

its never good news that a label closses down I bought nice things from sublight, so I dont really understand some posts here anyway we are still free too talk, and that is also nice |

That was a great read. Suddenly I have this urge to check out the guy's work - if he writes that cogently his music must be worthwhile too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My reaction to reading it was "it took the fumb fucker that long to figure that out?" and made me want to listen to his music even less. I mean 10 years ago while his friend was getting MP3's off IRC and BBS I was just downloading the bastards off the good old WWW, It is written as though he was exposing some massive revelation, when in actual fact it was a sub-basic economics lecture from the former sublight artist with windows paint graphs. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I didn't realize he was a fumb fucker. That's bloody perverted that is. |

breakcore is about a good genre as the genre called 'dick in my asshole music' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm surprised you'd rate breakcore as highly as your own productions! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh you bet i do, dick in my asshole is a compliment because i am a 'bottom' homosexual. My own productions would be rated slightly higher to the level of 'felching cum out of a hairy man's assole music' |
||||||||
|
|

You make ejaculating in a man's hairy ass and sucking it out sound so gay. |

I made more from the limited pressing of a one-time-alias release than I have from my larger releases as The Flashbulb well, benn, that's because your releases as the flashbulb were shite |

I never liked the flashbulbs music that much, but his acidwolf material is pretty decent. It was an interesting read, but music piracy isn't a black and white issue. He is only seeing it from a single perspective : that people who download music never, ever buy music. Very wrong, but this debate has been done to death so i'll leave it there. His discussion on the greedy nature of the industry looks to be spot on though. Only an idiot would run a record label now. Oh wait.... Anyway, theres a simple rule which almost always guarentees monetary success - if the music is good enough, it will sell. |

yeah especially those that focus on sampling other peoples tracks NUTTERS! |
