Soundcloud just froze my mixtape?

[Citizen_Insane]

So then you agree to cracked or hacked software?

In general, no. Just because I upload a mix doesn't make me some kind of software pirate. You need to stop making these assumptions cause when you assume you make an ass out of you and... well only yourself really in this case. I admit, I had a cracked version of traktor pro for a couple of months because Traktor 3 ceased to be compatible with my computer when I upgraded to snow leopard (would crash after anywhere from 5-60 min), and as a poor student with a music habit I didn't have the money set aside to purchase pro immediately. Not saying what I did was right. Not agreeing with hacking software and all that. Just saying nobody is perfect.

Edit: and can people stop using the software comparison? How is it not obvious that this is something different?

+1, seriously tito, what's your deal? You some kinda troll? Or maybe you're some guy who knows a thing or two about law and thus thinks you can school us all. Seriously man, it's like you're slagging us because of being DJs... and DJs make mixes, it's why I started DJing to make my own mixes to listen to. This IS a DJing forum, why the hate? (See? I can make unreasonable assumptions too! )

Oh and PS: I forgot to mention that I rarely mix stuff that is owned by huge corporations and the likes because I don't like much mainstream music. Now my dislike of corps. is a completely different matter. How I would crack a walmart, I'm not sure... probably with a sledgehammer but that's just wanton destruction.

using troll/ hipster logic, you SHOULD post mixes of this mainstream music you dislike because no only would it be artistically ironic, youre also not paying for this music.

take that UMG.

[wrong chris]

can you guys post a Tracklist of the mixes that are getting frozen?

it'd be nice to know what artists & labels to avoid.

perhaps we could have a sticky thread so that other djs don't make the mistake of buying these people's music for mixing and then being told they can't publish the mixtapes.

illegal or not, djs buy their music for creating mixes - if the labels don't like it then they can recoup the losses on their own dime when djs stop buying their shit.

Yep - got my first one this morn. Soundcloud has had a meteoric rise but mark my words will evaporate without DJ mixes....

Wait does this mean the same thing for mixcloud?

I have a gut feeling Vimeo is behind it all!

ive only had trouble with Universal over this stuff....

has anyone had any of this happen using mixcloud? i dont have one but if i can post my mixes there without getting bothered that'd be awesome. (I buy all of my music btw)

Hi, first post, but I just had a mix pulled as well. The copyright holder was ADA UK so I think it was because of a Benassi track

[Djtom420]

Because it is illegal to upload to the web ANY music you do not have the rights, so strictly speaking it is illegal to upload mixes from other artists and if the artist/label or any single person point to any mixtape they have to shutdown. Sometimes i do not understand the double morality of members of the forum, making an scandal for hacks or cracked software but in the other hand they do illegal things quite often, like uploading mixtapes. And the funny part it is more illegal, in a way of saying, uploading music than downloading, you can even go to jail for uploading not downloading.

I think this post best somes up the torrent/hacked/cracked/p2p/napster(lol) issue here on DJTT:

this is a great docu.. more about electronic music in general with focus on djs at points

So not to be off topic here, but u guys are cool with posting obvisly illegal posts on youtube of copy written content. but tack issues with pirates bay/torrrents? hmmmm that seems sort of idk, hypocritical.....

I have a dvd of modulations i got years ago, but i cant imagine the film makers would want there work illegally posted on you tube....

Just my thoughts.
