Thank you sir. I'm not registered there but feel free to quote me on that.
I don't think this is going to deliver real business benefits for Ammunition and Tempa. I think it's unwise, and I think Ammunition / Tempa are running risks they do not need to run in terms of alienating their core market.
It's also the first major breach of the love vibes that have been so integral to the dubstep scene, and it's appalling.
Aren't radio stations supposed to pay some kind of composers royalties on music they play? Presumably as a pirate station they're not doing that.
Weren't RINSE giving Deapoh the option to sell Barefiles first though? They didn't just tell him right off the bat that he needed to cease and desist. With their budget would it not have possibly become a better service with no broken downloads, and perhaps a bigger selection? Why did Deapoh want to continue spending money on something for nothing? And though Rinse IS a pirate radio station, do they not have the right to regulate and improve the service of a website consisting of radio rips of THEIR station. Remember: they offered to PAY Deapoh first, and he refused for some reason.
