Press Release from Car Crash Set: The final release of the year may be the darkest, so it's fitting that it coincides with some of the longest nights of the year in the Pacific Northwest. The 'Die On Sunday' single released earlier this month was a preview of what to expect on By Proxy's six track ...

The NYC/SF/Seattle trio By Proxy return to Car Crash Set with a new single ahead of their EP dropping before the end of the year. By Proxy's 'Die On Sunday' is a snarling dubstep terror that pits a hard digital rhythm against sultry yet morose vocals. The single is backed by a remix from Rush Hour ...

Peace!!!

ditto the sleestak + untrue = album of the year.

"big up" to Brother Loves Dub for having the integrity to call some of the cats up in here on their hypocritical ways. A lot of the people who went after me when I started the thread (a few weeks back) about the future of music sales and marketing in the 21st century have officially painted ...

pictures of burial or just pictures? personally I don't think burial is going to be able to keep his identity unknown after how dope untrue is....

Well, I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I wanted to bump the thread in case anyone has something thought provoking to add here.

Don't worry, I'll be back to stir the pot again sooner or later. In the meantime, have a happy and safe Halloween!

I'll be celebrating Dia De Los Muertos south ...

Here's a thought:

Ways for independent artists/producers to make money:

1. Live gigs (DJ or live PA)

2. License music for film/TV/other commercial avenues

3. Selling merchandise (T-shirts, slipmats, etc.)

Sharing music has been around since the advent of recordable media. The fact is if ...

i thought, when i read the title of this thread, that i would get to read an interesting discussion about ideas people may have had that would allow for more forward-thinking solutions to the filesharing problem that plagues music.


instead i see theres an argument here. BORRRRRING.


carry on ...

entirely true but that still in know way justifies the illegal sharing of music... especially not pre-release!

stop digging mate the hole's only getting deeper!

Wil, read the title of this thread...it's not called "the argument for illegal file sharing". You (and others) are choosing to harp on ...

[I reckon that if you're looking for people to goad and want to start getting pointlessly anal/aggressive with your arguments, you should head over to D.O.A. I'm sure they will accomodate you.

Whatever dude. I call em like I see em. pompende was getting personal with his comments, something I don ...

i might prefer a smaller audience. soooooo many halfass tunes coming out now.

Personal attacks aside, pompende, I think you make some valid points in your extensive post. The quote above is not one of them. It is illogical. Sure there are halfass tunes, but how is a smaller audience for dubstep ...

LOL!!!

no, because yet again you're making outlandish analogies that have exactly zero relevance. To humour you for a second and shoot your 'argument' out of the water, I could have found a CD of MP3s which happened to be copies made legally under the 'fair use' of international copyright laws.


Now stop ...

finding cd's on a bus is a silly example of what you're trying to argue. you can keep playing devil's advocate in this discussion but you're going to find that the ice you're standing on is going to get thinner and thinner.

Humor me and tell me what you would do with the CD.

And yes, like Wiley ...

you're still using pro-P2P theories from the major label release/major label mindset. those theories are absolutely irrelevant to the dubstep scene..

Seckle, read the question above that I posed to ThinKing regarding randomly finding a CD full of MP3s somewhere. We are tackling this issue on all ...
