Post by: eNgIeS on April 23, 2003, 01:30:47 AM
Breaking news. Like 10-15 mins ago they closed forum with this message

FUCK BRZ .. WE WILL SOON DISCOVER THE NATURE OF THE THREAT - Daz and the DPG Staff

now BRZ is the jabroni who ripped this on the net. I talked to him tried to get him into my hands he wasnt from Australia he is USA got it from local store. Gave Kronik that info & his Whois

The chat room also seems to have closed the chatting in there

OneWorldRap ripped it now & are serving it encouraging people to buy when it comes over there.

This album is great I own a copy bought today great cd people should support Daz

I don't know what they (DPG) want to do. Every album will be ripped. They can't do anything against that.

Good question!

Who cares if it's ripped? Bet you can't name a major release that hasn't been ripped! It will make no difference to Daz, people who want to buy it will and people who don't won't. Hopefully Daz will learn to stick to release dates from this, but even then the shit will still get ripped.

"What goes around comes around" Karma


The shit that Shermhead did while he was at Death Row and Suge was comfortably and safely locked away in the pen, this is what he deserved, but it's still small in comparison to the masters he ripped off. And he's still waiting on his 25 million that's still tied up in the courts for a couple of more years. What wonders never cease  ::)

well BRZ should think first before tryin to be internet hero going "Ohh look I got this cd i'm so cool here have it for free" coz look this is Daz's livly hood this album doesnt do well then he goes down.

Plus i didnt go to cops. I told Kronik he can do what he wants with it. If BRZ get fucked up thats his fault

Also you say i bet you download. Which part of my posts dont you understand, the ones were I just said I BOUGHT THE FUCKIN CD TODAY FROM HMV CHADSTONE & I HAVE THE FUCKIN THING IN MY STEREO NOW. Why the fuck would i download it. Are you stupid

I know maybe it would've got ripped eventually but man the album has 2 months before it comes out (officially) at least if its ripped closer the release date people will be more inclind to wait & be suprized by the CD they buy on teh release date rather than being impatient, downloading it, bumping for a month & then letting the dust get to it so you are no longer inclined to buy the cd

yeah :/ site says..... "Daz - DPGC: U Know What I'm Throwin' Up - May/June 2003"

but this is the original date, that they changed after they got everyone (including me) to place a pre-order
(http://www.dpgrecordz.com/images/dpgc_banner.jpg)

"DAZ SOLO DELAYED!
Daz's next solo has been delayed til April 29, 2003. The delay is due to promotional reasons. The album needs to be hyped more before it hits the streets. No need to waste a solid LP that can get solid sales."

Didn't they change the distributor?

I really hope you (and everyone else) gets the album they pre-ordered, but I can see another Indy Game/Mak & Dilli situation arising!
Title: Re:DPG Forums closed coz of the bootlegging
Post by: Don Seer on April 23, 2003, 07:16:49 AM
yes they changed distributor. but the old distributor (101) will still be shifting the number of units they initially agreed to, including pre-orders. thing is.. 101 took money at time of order, not at time of ship.. which i dont like.

All yall who say it doesn't hurt sales to leak on the net are DREAMING.  I get so much crap on my computer that I never buy.  Back in the day, I would go buy everything that came out, now I just download it, and only buy the stuff I really, really, really like a lot.  I'm buying like 5 cd's a year or something, when I used to buy 20.  You can say "oh, they're crappy albums, so they shouldn't get bought, we should be able to preview them" and all that all you want, but the fact still remains that it DOES hurt sales, whether it's a bad album or a good album.  I go to the flea market every week, and they've got tables full of bootlegged albums, you mean that don't hurt sales?  This dude's up there selling 50 copies a weekend of the latest snoop album, you think those 50 people are gonna go buy a legit version too, or weren't gonna buy the album?

so what the hell are artists gonna do?  Shut down the internet?  All albums are going to hit the net and get bootlegged, that is inevitable.  Artists are just going to have to figure out a way to get around it, or they are just going to die.  Maybe this can be good, and it will force artists to step up their abilities and put out better quality music.  Or it could be horrible and everyone will end up sounding like nelly and ja rule.  Either way, they gonna have to deal wit it.  Like this album wasn't going to hit the net?  Like I said in another post, if you remember being on irc last year when the eminem show was ripped, I had never seen so many people trying to get that album off irc.  yet it still sold millions of copies.  50 cent sold millions, and he makes gangsta rap (I think, haven;'t heard much).  It is not impossible to do, they just need to put out excellent music instead of average music.  (not to say many excellent albums get overlooked and lack sales too).  and like I said a fan of daz such as myself will buy the album regardless.  I d/l it, and I will still buy it probably the day it drops here.  since I have been able to d/l albums off the net I have bought probably at least 100 albums, all of which I could have easily downloaded.  I don't buy everything I d/l  cause I would be broke, but I still support a lot of artists.  A lot of fans like to have the og copy of it for collections.

AC, I agree with you, there's nothing they can do about it.  Music by definition is heard, and anything heard can be recorded and bootlegged.  There's no way around it at all.

To take the stance that it doesn't hurt sales, though, is crazy.  I hear all the time, "it still sold 8 million!" (like em's album)... SO?  Just because it did good, he doesn't have a right to bitch?  A millionaire shouldn't care that he had a million stolen, since he has another million in the bank? That's B.S.  

Look @ Thriller.  Everybody liked it, and you couldn't bootleg it at the time, you had to buy the original record, or tape.  It was high quality, and he sold 50-60 million copies of it.  HE COULD NEVER do that today, everybody'd just bootleg it.  The most any artist is going to ever sell is 15 or so million, anything above that is impossible.  

I'm not saying there's a way to stop it, I just get pissed when people act like it doesn't hurt sales.  It SERIOUSLY hurts sales... maybe by as much as 50 percent or so.
