Go ahead and steal all the music you want. :) Rules only apply to stupid Americans! ;)

Sorry to hear that you weren't able to purchase the music you wanted.

^^ If that is to be an obscene gesture down there, then I think you're missing a dot to the left. Otherwise, depending on which hand you have chosen to use, it appears that you are flicking off Beatport with either your index or your ring finger. Or that you're a four-fingered mutant.

Its because of laws for distribution or copyrights or some BS like that. The only way that I've found is to go to Juno Download or search other d/l sites for the tune or until they market it on a label that sells to the US or outside of Europe. Its CRAP in my opinion, if you are willing to pay for it then sell it to me otherwise if I can't get it that way don't piss and moan about me getting it through illegal downloads. Am I right or not? :x

Re: Beatport

OH SORRY THIS TRACK IS ONLY FOR EUROPE OR WHATEVER.

WELL FUCK YOU BEATPORT.

Re: Beatport

[quote=tiddles;515796]just curious...what did you guys do when you had to buy vinyl and actually had to track stuff down?[/quote] True. I used to love going into Neptune records in tampa and spend hours hunting through the pile. It was like the only store you could smoke in while you shopped. They would always be blasting the newest shit over the system, or handing you some of the newer records that they thought you would like. good times8)

Re: Beatport

^^Thats the best.. My friend used to own a record shop..Every week when I would get there, he would have a stack of new releases for me. Those were the days :)

#898693Post 18 of 37

Re: Beatport

Geez, granted it does suck when they pull the territory crap on ya, blame the music companies, rights don't always transfer across oceans, secondly there is so much music available today, missing out on one or two tracks is not going to be cause for mortal thoughts. As for ripping off tracks you only hurt the dance music scene, at least it's 2 or 3 bucks instead of 12.50 US with 8 dollars in shipping, furthermore the affordability (maybe not for everyone) has allowed myself to explore other genres of dance music and work them into mixes. Why be bitter?

that WAS great.. leaving 100 plus dollars poorer sucked though.. long live downloads! :lol:

Re: Beatport

^^That was the downside...I was broke all the time..I was buying about 30 records @ $9-$10 each every week. :shock: It was a a good addiction though. :D I now have a nice collection that I never play(All Mp3 now).... I am buying a nice shelf for them, and I will remember the memories they brought me for a long long time. 8)

Re: Beatport

You should not blame beatport. You should blame the record labels. I have found many of the same tracks by searching by the artist name, track name, remix artist, etc. You can also just purchase from another site, this was mentioned above. Yes it is very frustrating when you find a track and you can not buy it, but it is not over. You just got to grab it from another music site. ;)

#901652Post 24 of 37

Re: Beatport

like dom said its not beatports fault its record labels and licencing laws etc

tbh it doesnt really bother me unless i really REALLY want a song, usually the same song is rereleased on another label who has the rights to sell it in other countries, fuck things like slsk, hate it, u should be patient and also shop around for what ur looking for, beatport isnt the only place u can buy online, 9 times out of 10 u can buy direct from the labels own webpage :roll:

LOL... and I'm an american latino.

Defenitely there are several other sites to venture out to not just BeatPort. It is a pain in the ass to be denied a purchase, just like being denied a green card, but don't sweat it. Give someone else your money or resort to Soulseek or Lime Wire.

of course I can take It...i take it for both ways actually im American and Mexican LOL

anyways, the point here is that why the hell do they put tracks there that you cant buy, its stupid...can they filter by IP address or something, and it happens constantly..this is like the 4th time it's happened to me.

#901668Post 28 of 37

Re: Beatport

American AND Mexican? Dude, you're fucked twice, Imma start a fund raiser for you :D

And yes, they can filter your IP, isn't so hard to do.

#901670Post 29 of 37

Re: Beatport

lol, another thing came to my mind...can I file a lawsuit for false advertisement? cause that's what it is, is it?

i've read sooo many articles about stupid lawsuits in the US that I might join the club.

lol

how does $10,000 sound?

LMAO

Re: Beatport

I wouldn't go for a carreer as a stand up comedian, so yeah, why not file a lawsuit ;)

Re: Beatport

I've heard it is possible to use a proxy to let beatport add these location restricted tracks to your cart.

If you google it you can find some good info about it.

#901995Post 36 of 37

Re: Beatport

I don't understand it either. I know why they SAY they do it. But hell when people sold vinyl all the time. I never heard of these restrictions, But those tracks that you really wanted, you usually had to pay more for because they were on labels that didn't ship much to the states.

Re: Beatport

You know what's weird - I wanted to use Cicada's song Elle et Moi for a school project last fall. Beatport wouldn't let me buy it because of the territory thing, so I bought it from the iTunes store without any problems.
