Stealing Music
Jun 15, 2009
In the state the economy is in, on top of the state the music industry is in...we all know how tough it can be to make a dollar. I don't care who you are, or who you know....if you say gettin money in this biz is easy and you can just throw it around like nothin...your lying. I had a record deal when i was 18 and that was almost 10yrs ago. When i got signed to Epic/Sony, people still sold 10million records(not like the mid 90's but still possible). Now if you sell 100,000.....you deserve a pat on the back. So when I first got signed as an artist, you could never have too many producers around. Producers got paid up to 50k a track plus royalties for making complete and utter bull$h1t. People took producing for granted, but it was alot easier to get a track out there and get paid for it. Now that I'm the producer, and everything is the way it is now....as we all know...$h1t aimt easy. For all the people I know, connections & resources I have....money couldnt be tighter. So, for anyone out there whos into stealing beats.....understand 2 things;
1) trust me, it be alot cheaper in the end if you just buy the beat now and avoid the headache later. After lawyer fees(if that route is taken..)we both end up broke....not worth it.
2) although the law states it's illegal to steal a person's work...i'm not one who follows rules, law, etc. So, the penalty for stealing tracks from me is more or less....
PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.
and if the person who steals the track has money and/or works at a major label, and could have paid for it from the start....that therefore doubles the crime, and is...
SENTENCED TO DOUBLE DEATH.
(depending on who you are, will decide how you interpret what i'm saying. You want to take it as a joke, be my guest, i mean.....it really is a joke(or at least thats what i would say in court...jk...or am i?). All in all its just words, but words to read and think about before attempting do me wrong. I'm generally a nice guy that is more then fair and reasonable when it comes to working with someone's budget, big or small......BUT don't mistake kindness for weakness.
Have an ok day!
