Your talking to me like I dont know how music in 2010 works, im fully aware man, its fine, you CAN download the releases from the Grime scene for free if you want, but as I said before, if you want people to continue releasing stuff, then I suggest people start supporting. How difficult is that to understand?
Not that difficult. But how difficult is it to understand that sometimes the people who are downloading are the exact same people who are supporting? And that you have no way of telling them apart? What about people who have bought every single one of your records, but also paid puregrime $10 or whatever to skip the minimum post limit or whatever? Especially people overseas who typically use puregrime because they aren't often able to hear things like mixtapes the day they come out because no stores stock them here. What is that $10 versus the possibly hundreds of dollars they spent on you and your friends' music? In these cases you are actually punishing people who are in fact your biggest supporters. What I'm saying is you have no way of distinguishing these cases from cases where someone is just getting everything for free and giving nothing back, and as such, you aren't in a position to cast judgement.
