i wont man,i dont know shit bout it...plus my major downloads revolve around radio shows which are not illegal 2 download and dont cost money

^ That okay man. What proof and I agree with him are saying is, dont go and pay for every track, but if you like a track then out of support to the artist go buy it. That wont cost much, its just a step in the right direction.

It's been a while since I illegally downloaded a track, for those 3 reasons:

1- I stopped enjoying full-length tracks. I like them more when they're mixed. The only things I'm downloading are radio shows. If a track is THAT good and worth it, I'll go to beatport or audiojelly to get them.

2- I buy all the albums/compilations I want. Nothing like the feeling of holding a fresh CD in your hands. I recently bought ASOT 2004 & 2005 just because I have the others and I wanted to complete my collection.

3-SUPPORT THE ARTIST! I wouldn't like it if, say I'm an author, to put all my time and efforts into writing a book and then have somone not only read it, but get a version of the book for himself and read it along or for other's enjoyement without me getting anthing out of it.

Most people do not care about the efforts a producer has put in. Like Proof said, that "If I can have it for free, why buy it?" prevails, even if sharing sites beg users to support the artist, no-one buys what they say. I think it's too bad really, but I wouldn't go around and spread the word, begging people to buy tracks. I do my part, and hope that others see what they're doing wrong.
And many people do not trust the internet to buy stuff off of it. I was like that, I didn't trust it, I didn't want to get ripped off...

P.S.: Proof and Kay, I didn't get how that MXP4 could help solve that problem. I know it helps DJs A LOT, but how does it help artists and distributors and limiting or stopping illegal downloading?

Fawzi, I likes you :biggrin:

.

As for MXP4, it's a complex format. But then again, everything get's cracked nowadays. I'm just excited for the format actually ... not really on-topic there.

Proof, your point is very interessting. for their product, but its only in London. Im not sure exactly how the software will work, but if you think back to Sony ACID, and FL Studio, the latter had an option which allowed you to export a track in ACIDized format , which allows ACID to read the different layers of the track, to a certain extent. This could be something similar.

I do illegally download tracks, I can't spend my allowance on every track I like, although I do buy tracks that I can't find online

.
I support artists though, I buy albums and compilations every now and then.
That's what I can do now, since I'm not working.
