who ripped it?

[Trauma-san]

apc

[Mr_Loc]

its all this yang going on about napster, but these marks from rns and apc etc are rippin full albums weekly and you dont hear shit about it.

i dont even understand their purpose? do they get paid for it? probably not.

i dont care so much about big, high profile, major label releases but when they rip independent shit or albums that are counting on every sale its really messed up.

so fuck em

[Big FC]

it's too late for any of this shit to be stopped tho.. i mean if the governement cracked down, they would stop one thing but two would pop up in its place...

[Sikotic™]

Its like if you have a store and they are just walking out the store with your merchandise and never paid for it. It's really not right.

Man, Dude Sent Me The Link, I Told Him I Always Support Artists If I Download Their Stuff, And Buy The Real Thing, And He Said "Why?"...


Dudes Just Straight Distributing For Free, That's Wild. He Don't Even Want People To Buy The Real Album.

[Trauma-san]

Now He's telling Me I Ought To Burn Copies, And Sell Them, Because "Kurupts' Got Enough Money"... Man, Fuck All That, Kurupt Needs Our Cash, Or We Won't Have Cd's Like This.

[Mr_Loc]

i hate morons with that mentality.

how would they like it if they found out someone had taken a portion of their earnings (thats on top of tax  ) for no reason?

[Trauma-san]

Yeah, I LOVE When They Say

Oh, Eminem Sold 8 Million Records!  

They Act Like If You Make A Million, You Shouldn't Have That Second Million.

This is not an Independant release Mr Loc, so it doesnt really matter THAT much..

[Sikotic™]

It doesn't matter if it is a big release or underground release, they spent money, time, blood, sweat and tears working on that album. If this keeps going on alot of artists may say "Hey I got enough money, why lose more money making an album for my fans". Cause afterall they do it for fans and because they love it. If your fans, or customers start stealing from you you don't wanna make another album.

[Mr_Loc]

This is not an Independant release Mr Loc, so it doesnt really matter THAT much..

1) i didnt say it was Mr Correctivitis, i said i dont like it when they do rip independent albums and

2) it does matter that much because kurupts albums dont sell that well so every sale is important.

When DR Ripped Snoop's Album On Their Site, Dre Stated That That Shit Makes Him NOt Want To Record.  So, If It Keeps Up, Our Best Artists Ain't Gonna Want To Do It Anymore...

Whenever They're Spending All Their Time Trying To Protect Their Songs, That Hurts Art...

[Don Rizzle]

with the death of napster alot less albums get distributed thru the net what is the bigger problem is 1 person buying the cd then copying it 4 their friends
