I don't have a problem with what you're doing man, all these fools talking about "snitchin" is some no game having lames.
We all know some cheap, no money gettin lames are gonna download music without paying no matter what and make excuses, but if you can do something to make it harder for them then go for it.
I have the same problems other cats have, too much music is being released, it's hard to figure out what is worth my money and what isn't, but I find ways around it. I use napster where I pay 5 bucks a month to be able to listen to any album they got LEGALLY. I dunno if any of the bay cats get any royalties off of that or not, but I assume if they got they business right they should be able to. For anything else I might hit up youtube for a video, official or not.
All these excuses about cats downloading and then buying what they like is lame because the sales don't reflect that at all. You got 1000s of these lames online claiming to be fans of these rappers but then these rappers can't break 1000 sales first week? it just don't add up.

^^^PROPS 2 THAT...I USED 2 THINK THE CORPORATES WERE THE SCUMBALLS AND DIDNT CARE ABOUT THE ARTISTS OR LABELS.ITS GOOD 2 KNOW HOW YOUR SUSPECTED FAN BASE FEELS...THERE ARE A LOT OF MEMBERS ON SICCNESS.NET-
THAT SHOULD BE 1000 SALES BUT THERE IS WAY MORE COMPETITION GOING ON THAN SUPPORT...THIS THREAD IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY PEOPLE LIKE ME HAVE 5 SOLO ALBUMS JUST SITTIN....SMH
IT MAKES MORE SENSE 4 ME 2 DO JOINT VENTURES AND HAVE SOMEONE PAY 4 MY SERVICES UP FRONT....THEN THE SALES FACTOR DOESNT EFFECT ME....BUT AS A LABEL OWNER,ITS NOT GOOD NEWS AND MAKES ME RELUCTANT 2 SPEND MONEY ON NEW ARTISTS CUZ THEY MIGHT NOT SELL EVEN THO I BELIEVE THEY ARE TIGHT.
its sad when the fans dont give a fucc,then the rappers dont give a fucc about quality,and everybody suffers cuz the music and the game is full of shit and respect is not a factor.1

I THINK SOME FANS BELIEVE IT DOESN'T MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE TO SPEND 15 BUCKS ON A CD WHEN THEY CAN DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET.. ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY THE ECONOMY/GAS PRICES IS TODAY IT SEEMS EVERYONE IS WATCHING THEIR DOLLAR A BIT MORE CLOSELY... LETS FACE IT RAPPERS POCKETS ARE HURTING BECAUSE FANS POCKETS ARE HURTING BUYING MUSIC IS NOT ON EVERYONE'S TOP LIST OF PRIORITIES IT GOES HAND IN HAND... AS FAR AS ME I STILL BUY CDS.. DO I BUY 10 CDS A WEEK?? NO.. BUT I DO BUY CDS EVERY NOW AND THEN.. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW ARTISTS I LIKE ANYWAYS SO THERE YOU HAVE IT..
