So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

[darin epsilon]

This is so wrong! A website called ProducerFactory.com allows you to purchase someone's track and sell it as one of your own. Ghostwriting has been around for a while, but this is like taking it to a whole new level.

Have we hit an all-time low in society where we assume we don't have to work for anything and money can buy whatever we want?

not gonna open that link at work, but if it is how you say it is darin....... how is that even legal? that sounds even more unethical than illegal downloads.

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

basically some bedroom producers are making the tracks, they then sell it to that site - then if people like it, they can buy the full rights to it? Is that the scenario?

Its like all those peole that write for Rihanna but she makes the tracks herself, but they get the songwriting credit.

In this scenario - someone does ALL the work and receives ZERO credit? (but a payment) ??

It's called being a democrat. And yes the idea of ghostwriting and existence of that website is a total shame. Saw a post by Kate Simko the other day on FB that someone had release one of her remixes as their own track and selling it on Beatport. Ridiculous...

I dunno bud, my super right wing friend (by birth not choice) is a singer/songwriter, he's paid money to increase in youtube hits. Same thing really. Cheating is cheating is cheating. It's not about being a dem or repub. It's about having integrity.

The reason I'm not shocked is the entertainment business is super cut throat like any other business. SOME people are willing to do anything to "make it." They think $$$ is more important than morals. Misguided in some cases, desperate in others, but mostly just dishonest.

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

Pretending to mix now pretending to produce.

What next? Pretending to listen and pretending to like the music?

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

Something similar happens
with spooky and sasha
if I remember well, right ??

[nelinho]

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

Ah ok I think I remember, but I was under the impression that tracks were co-produced with spooky doing more than his fair share...

Not familiar with this topic, I think my perceptions will be somewhat more jaded and muddled than before.

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

No, I think that "spooky" made a track,
and sasha put his name on it.
But Im not sure, I cant remember.
