the moment ppl start charging for sets is the moment this thing goes to shit

think about it

why would ppl suddenly start wanting to pay for something theyre used to getting for free.

recording / hosting sets is really not that hard. look how many ppl have already said back to YSI / we'll just host ourselves / watch for the re-posts / we ain't gonna pay

and learn from that innit

one great aspect of dubstep is doing things for yourself. A hub for mixes is a good thing but its not essential what with this forum and an audio section and many people having access to their own webspace.

ALSO

why should DJs get paid for mixing music other ppl have made? If a dj / station / site gets revenue from a mix, where does that leave the producers that made the tunes in the first place? There's no fair way to distribute that revenue so I say keep money out of it

Rinse - you're on a mad one noone is gonna pay for your mixes. Barefiles - what about registering as a charity or keep taking donations? As long as there's a cause to support ppl will pay. Soon as it's a money maker that's any sense of solidarity or community out the window.

Done.

amen!

djs getting paid prompts them to buy more vinyls which is good for producers

dont waste your time...

just say something like "rinse it is reasonable that you want to be the sole proprietor of your mixes, but please dont charge us for them"

and hopefully they wont charge us for them & then we wont have to feel awkward when we get them off our friends for free.

Don't really want to perpetuate this debate but have to say that there are ways to raise cash from hosted content other than simply charging for downloads.

@Bok Bok - Barefiles as a registered charity is a brilliant idea btw.

And it reminds me of the breakbeat scene

Same sort o' thing happened in the Breaks FM camp 2 years ago: DJ Quest vs Sunz of Mecha.

These things always cause damage to a scene. I've seen it in the breakbeat scene and hope it won't happen to this 'full-of-positive-vibes'-scene!!
