    True. I used to love going into Neptune records in tampa and spend hours hunting through the pile. It was like the only store you could smoke in while you shopped. They would always be blasting the newest shit over the system, or handing you some of the newer records that they thought you would like. good times

        Geez, granted it does suck when they pull the territory
        crap on ya, blame the music companies, rights don't always
        transfer across oceans, secondly there is so much music
        available today, missing out on one or two tracks is not
        going to be cause for mortal thoughts. As for ripping off tracks
        you only hurt the dance music scene, at least it's 2 or 3 bucks
        instead of 12.50 US with 8 dollars in shipping, furthermore
        the affordability (maybe not for everyone) has allowed myself
        to explore other genres of dance music and work them into
        mixes. Why be bitter?

        All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

        So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

        1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
        2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
        3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
        4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

        Am I close here?

                ^^That was the downside...I was broke all the time..I was buying about 30 records @ $9-$10 each every week. It was a a good addiction though. I now have a nice collection that I never play(All Mp3 now).... I am buying a nice shelf for them, and I will remember the memories they brought me for a long long time.

                  You should not blame beatport. You should blame the record labels. I have found many of the same tracks by searching by the artist name, track name, remix artist, etc. You can also just purchase from another site, this was mentioned above. Yes it is very frustrating when you find a track and you can not buy it, but it is not over. You just got to grab it from another music site.

                    Re: Beatport

                    like dom said its not beatports fault its record labels and licencing laws etc

                    tbh it doesnt really bother me unless i really REALLY want a song, usually the same song is rereleased on another label who has the rights to sell it in other countries, fuck things like slsk, hate it, u should be patient and also shop around for what ur looking for, beatport isnt the only place u can buy online, 9 times out of 10 u can buy direct from the labels own webpage

                      LOL... and I'm an american latino.

                      Defenitely there are several other sites to venture out to not just BeatPort. It is a pain in the ass to be denied a purchase, just like being denied a green card, but don't sweat it. Give someone else your money or resort to Soulseek or Lime Wire.

                          of course I can take It...i take it for both ways actually im American and Mexican LOL

                          anyways, the point here is that why the hell do they put tracks there that you cant buy, its stupid...can they filter by IP address or something, and it happens constantly..this is like the 4th time it's happened to me.

                              lol, another thing came to my mind...can I file a lawsuit for false advertisement? cause that's what it is, is it?

                              i've read sooo many articles about stupid lawsuits in the US that I might join the club.

                              lol

                              how does $10,000 sound?
