That can probably account for a quite a lot. Or even, frankly, who's to say that respected producer B doesn't do the leaking, without even a need for friend C? or even accidentally copy them into a shared folder. but its not hard to see how friend C might then proceed to trade said dubs for other dubs and once they're out, they're out.

and never letting them go any further in any way, because i've too much respect for the reputation of B and the tunes of A. friend C comes round to B's house with a usb stick and loads up a few goodies from their incoming folder ] i've been friend C before now. for example producer A sends dub to respected producer B. amazing how hard it is to lock down a tune.

Seems to me like the majority of them are probably leaked by the dj/producers 'friends'. that's how they *spread* but not where they *start from* russians, ripping groups, ftps.? not really. if you can hack there are better targets surely. who is gonna hax0r fresh's pc and steal his 'new secret tunes' folder? doesnt seem likely. i cant see any way around preventing it!īesides all the 'if i only listen at home that's ok isnt it' moral debate and 'if a dj plays out dubs he deserves to get ripped on' high-horsenedness, which is pretty par for the course in any slsk thread, and can surely be omitted as implicit given that this is about the 14 billionth, there was a question, which is where they actually come from. he must have balls of steel, be very well connected or just be a fucking idiot.ĭJs need to just be a bit more careful with their tunes prior to release, unfortunately once one person buys it, they will always be able to put it on mp3 and whack it on soulseek. Until i heard him i thought that even if people downloaded these tunes, nobody would be stupid enough to play them out, especially alongside big names in the scene. The DJ was playing to quite a big crowd and was on before friction and he finished his set with pendulum's blood sugar which, correct me if i'm wrong, isn't readily available. he played a number of other unreleased tracks as well during the set. I'd never heard of this guy before, he was playing some exclusive shit lol, at one point he played 'the burial' (logistics rmx) which you could easily tell was a poor quality mp3 from soulseek or similar. I recently went to a club night where the promotor had given himself a prime set.
