    RANT on Piracy

    I said "Don't do it" and I meant it.

    So don't do it. Ever. For real. Seriously.

    I don't know any club dj's that DON'T share tracks. Nothing wrong with sharing music. A-Trak said he would swap hdd's with other dj's to learn new sets often....

    In the case of vinyl records it's just considered plain, old-fashioned theft.
    Everybody is going to have an opinion.
    Just do your thing to the best of your ability and have fun with it.

    This is the exact reason that I cringed when I saw that A-Trak quote long ago... because I knew that so many of the little wannabes of the world would start using HIS pathetic behaviour as an excuse to start stealing their own music, because "if A-Trak does it, then I can too (or should too)."

    Just because A-Trak does something doesn't make it right. Just because he's well-known doesn't make him any less of a thieving piece of crap. He's just a thieving piece of crap who really should know better.

    As a DJ who actually buys the music I need and DOESN'T share tracks (with very few exceptions, such as the ones I've legally produced myself)... I tend to resent those "DJs" who are freely and illegally passing around the tracks for which I have shelled out my hard-earned money, strictly because I choose to play by the rules and those other DJs somehow think they're "above" the rules.

    If all the DJs pirating their collections choose to do everything that A-Trak did because "A-Trak is doing it," then hopefully one day A-Trak will walk out in his front yard and set himself on fire. The resulting immolations around the world will make the DJ industry a lot better, overall.

    If you're going to play in the real grown-up DJ world, then you need to act like a grown-up. If you love the music, then you need to buy the music. Stealing music doesn't make you a respected DJ... it just makes you a thief and a disgrace to the industry.
