Once again, another site has come up which is rudely giving our music away for free!!!! What is WITH these people!? What truly baffles me is that they are not even getting anything from it. They take their time to upload someone else’s intellectual property so that total strangers can have it for free. It’s senseless, and it gives me an ulcer.
Here is the tally this site shows of how many times our record has been downloaded under various file names. Just from this one site.
Chillodesiac Lounge 1 Full Version* 362 Times
Chillodesiac Lounge 1 (April 2008)* 485 Times
Chillodesiac Lounge 1 ISO* 747 Times
Worldwide Groove Corporation- Fever Chillodesiac Lounge Vol ... 974 Times
Worldwide Groove Corporation- Fever Chillodesiac Lounge Vol ... 191 Times
That’s over 2500 times!
How are we supposed to make a living when this kind of stuff keeps happening? Most of these sites are outside of the U.S. and many do not care about intellectual property laws or copyright infringement. The Russian sites are the worst, they actually SELL our music and claim to be paying royalties, but I don’t know who they’re paying them to, because we aren’t seeing one cent.
If you consider yourself a fan of anyone’s creative work, then please do the right thing and pay for what you download. Especially independent self-funded artists like us. It’s too hard to survive in this industry as it is.
