Statement

HI Guys ! i have been really pissed off the last couple of days !!!!!
i fucking hate people putting our music for download on there bloggs and so on !
we work our asses off in the studio to make atrack , we put money into
remixes , artwork , marketing , webbased promotion , promotional
downloading systems and so on , to get everything right ! and then what
happends ??? well some kid gets ahold of thetrack , don´t ask me how ,
and gives it away for free ?!?!?!?!?
honestly what the fuck is wrong with people ?
one thing they don´t understand is that if we cant sell our music and
break even we wont put out more music , and producers will stop
producing music cause they can´t live a life where everything is free
!! young producers stop making music cause they can´t pay there bills ,
eat food or things like that !
why the fuck do people want to ruin another persons carrer ???
why can´t people just go to itunes , beatport m juno , djdownload or
any other mp3 store and just buy a track ? it´s one dollar !!!!! if it
continues like this i wont make any more tracks and i wont release
music on SIZE , i´ll stop it unless people start respecting other
peoples businesses ..... i feel bad for all those young new label
owners that are struggling everyday to pay there bills , and all those
young producers who wont get payed for remixes cause labels dont make
money !
dont you get it . when you share music you will get one less producer each day !
if you continue like this people will stop doing records and stop
releasing on there labels ! cause it´s to expensive to run a label for
free !!!

fucking assholes !

Sounds like double standards to me, as when he was starting out he would post his remixes/tunes on forums & such like.
But now he is famous it's not acceptable!

So what's everyones take on this?

If i like a tune i buy it but fuk me 98% of the tracks that are put out are shit, out of the 50+ gigs of tunes on my hard drive theres only about 60-70 that i would play more than once

i say support your fav artists at the least. If you are bootlegging someone you are really digging, you have to question yourself imo

He's not entirely off the track here. I can understand what frustrates him but he has to understand that House Music itself got rejuvenated by file sharing. It's also true that 95% of the stuff found at sites like Beatport, Juno, etc. is absolute shit ...

The thing that bothers me the most is the fact that those so-called producers were the first one using samples from other people's work and putting remixes all over the forums a couple of years ago ... they have to understand that a house music tune has VERY short lifespan ... most of the time I don't completely listen to the song before putting it away or even simply getting rid of it. When I do keep them, they just become part of my ever-growing collection of useless house music. That's why I'll need to buy a 1 terabyte drive to store them all.

I'm not a professional Dj or producer like Mr Angello but I would guess that he doesn't make most of his money selling mp3s on the Net. He must charge an hefty fee for a night at a club (given his status) and also people must pay to see him when he does his shows. My point is that part of why he has become so poular and well known is due to the fact that his material is all over the blogs and forums ...

I still think he has the right to be frustrated but I just think that greed is behind this rant ...
