If I found something I wrote on a torrent site, and especially with seeders - I'd be over the moon! People are taking interest in the music, be grateful - and monopolize on that. As people said, register - say thanks for checking your music out, give them info to check more stuff out by you.
But jeez, what use is bitch on dubstep forums? Sorry if this is disrespectful to artists, but artists who show they are just in it for the money annoy me more than people "stealing" the music.
i wouldn't normally put down such an opinion on this but your comment is a bit too assuming on part of the artists. yes people celebrating your music through torrent'ing it, is a positive thing in one respect...but...
No. it's not about money. as there is bugger all money in it unless you're shifting tonnes of units. Can't people sell those idea's without being accused of becoming money hungry? People sell lots of things that they make...it doesn't mean they're all wanting to make a fortune...
Artists are allowed to put some value on their work...even if it is supposedly the same worth as their work being posted on torrent sites...but let the artist be the judge of that.
everybody assumes that all musicians/artists/writers are in it to be big and therfore should
be grateful for any exposure?...and that those artists who post their tunes up, or having a myspace or sharing their music themselves implies that
they clearly must want to be big?...not always right to assume that you are doing people favours by posting their tunes elsewhere. whatever the agenda may be for artists...let them be in control, and let them push it out, as much or as little as they like, to who
they want.
i suppose Apple,Cycling,NI,Steinberg...should be grateful also for the exposure they get from torrents of their work?
