The reality of today was demonstrated quite clearly to me this week. My friend Prahlad has two tracks comming out on "Avatar V/A Terminal 2".
BEFORE the release of the CD, the full V/A is available online P2P (friend sent me link and i downloaded). Apparently one of the DJ's they gave a promo to managed to rip it into mp3 and put it on the NET.
Definate reason to think twice about investing. Accordnig to Avatar this kind of thing is "normal". Its a shame though; sales have declined since CD and copying and ripping onto NET; making investments riskier.

That is a shame.
I would like to know, why send the CD to that DJ? It could be a good idea not to send CDs to DJ who are heavy into using downloaded mp3 for their sets. I buy all my music that I play, and more, yet I see alot of psy DJs playing downloaded music who are far more "successful", and I never have got 1 promo CD. Maybe because I am gonna buy it anyways, so I dont count? Catch 22 ; )
It seems there isnt recognition to those DJs who actually buy music and support and promote these artists.
In my opinion these fine folks should be at the top of the list for DJs you would want promotion from. |

Well apparently they have a mailing list of various people who get Promo's of new releases. I think it remains unknown which one of those people uploaded the CD P2P.
