    Re: Wanna know why I still use Soulseek sometimes?

    That would be succumbing to the industry that is unable to keep in pace with the new possibilities the internet has disclosed. Dear Jenks,it is exactly these kind of things that motivate the music industry to adapt to the new set of circumstances -if corporations were the ones to dictate the tempo of advancement we'd be in deep shit, don't you agree? It has always been the demand that has driven the development in an economy, not the other way around (except for those markets where a demand is created, but that is not the case here).

        haven't used Soulseek in ages found alternatives.

        I do agree though: while it's not a MUST HAVE track, to hear something, then absolutely WANT to BUY it legitimately and can't...that's just curtailing some of your clientèle.

        Diff. countries though do have diff. rules...so where there's a will there's a way...

          That's a pretty weird argument.

                Ahem... I'm not sure you know how frustrating it is to hear an killer tune, after searching high and low, only to have Beatport bleep "Territory Restricted." Damn annoying

                    i think it's funny that most of those producers and labels there are all from europe. but that is still pretty messed up.

                        you'd slowly lose your mind till the point where you'd pay far too much for it on ebay or gemm or whatever.

                          Everytime I look at it I break up !! At least it was a little more creative than some.

                            ^^ My thoughts too. Think we need to remember how spoiled we are sometimes and how easy it is these days..

                              i was a second class dj back then and i still am today. (feel free to rate me down on that... i don't care...)

                              question is: how can a dj get up to the next level if he can't get his hands on the tracks that are required for that? and don't tell me it's all about the skills... that's only part of the success.

                                make them yourself. i don't think anyone can get huge in the DJ scene anymore with having some production stuff going at the same time.
