ahh Josh knows about soulseek I'm impressed. The only people I know who know about soulseek are people I told about it lol. I have been using it since it first came out I don't know how many years ago. I personally think it's the best. I never had any problems with viruses or any issues and my dls are always fast. slsknet.org
Limewire is CRAP..didn't know it got shut down but I know it had TONS of viruses

Yeah but with itunes you can't get the remixes or special versions of songs. It's only the originals and the artist must upload them

can we please shut this thread down? I hate to be that guy, but I'm extremely sensitive to giving artists their dues. Sure some act like asses. Sure there are di**s out there... but I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've lost jobs and seen friends in the industry lose jobs b/c album or song sales aren't there. Just think of it like this, you're not only stealing from royalties of the artists and producers...but you're also hurting the record company and the good people that bust their asses to promote the music, market the artist, develop careers, etc.
so please, use itunes amazon or any other site that tracks soundscan. Thanks!

OH PLEASE can we stop this non sense? "Artists" make millions of dollars regardless if people download their music as a matter of fact all that "illegal downloading" is usually what jump starts a career. Look at LiL Wayne for example people were bootlegging his mix tapes and now he's the biggest name in hip hop. The statutory rate is 8 1/2 cents per song per cd THAT'S IT, the record companies get all the rest. Unless you are selling tons of cds it really doesn't matter and if you wanna go by dl'ing individual tracks they are making much less anyway because people aren't even buying the cd they will dl 2 songs instead. The REAL money is in LIVE performances and merchandising so let's not flap away at the mouth here yoshi. If you were in this industry for 15 years you would know these things. What kind of DJ loses a job because records sales aren't there? I DJ'd,threw parties, all over NYC,went to school for music production and audio engineering. I had my own radio station when I was 19 years old 1 of the first around and probably the biggest at the time. I AM MUSIC.
I never cared about getting a few pennies for songs lol I made music to make people happy,to get people dancing,to book spots and throw parties. If you are really going to sit here crying about this you must be talentless not to mention I never heard of you. Good luck trying to sell songs on itunes LMAO, you'll get rich NEVER.

good for you and I'm glad that you had your success at a young age. I do more than DJ. I work records to radio, A&R projects, handle promotions. I could care less if you've heard of me because I've been in this game A LONG time and have been successful at it. I've hosted events and DJ'ed events for celebrities and still do. I travel the world playing for crowds. So regardless if you've heard of me, I'm just stating what's right. The ONLY reason artists make millions is based on popularity of selling out venues.
So yes downloading has led to breaking some artists. I'll agree with that
For those that DON'T understand the inner workings of a record deal, it's basically a negotiated loan. If that money isn't made back or the artist doesn't pop the way that he/she is supposed to, then they're dropped. When record sales drop, people lose jobs. When projects flop, people lose jobs.
And as far as royalties and rates, it's all dependent on who you are and what your deal is. The record company fronts the $ to promote, market, and get the music played and placed properly. Whenever an artist makes an appearance how do you think that sh** is payed for? Through the budget allocated for the promotion of the artist. Where does that come from and how is that figured out??? based on how many records they think should sell.
So congrats on the spots that you've dj'ed, promoted, etc. I seriously commend anyone that does it in the industry. And if you want a full bio of what I've done, I'd be more than happy to share that with you...
