Pssst, Tim, it's a story because SWAT teams are now making copyright enforcement raids.

Its a story because they shouldn't have been raided in the first place. These guys are being paid by the label, most artists could only hope to have a mixtape from Drama or Cannon. Its a story because the RIAA attempted to smear them by saying they are pirating commercial CDs. Its a story because the RIAA is not helping the artists as they proclaim.

You should know that aside from piracy, many of these so-called "artists" are merely criminals laundering money. How can you tell who they are? If they perform "music" that doesn't require talent, such as rap or techno, there's a good chance that they're using their music enterprise as a means to launder drug money.

Chas, if you think mixing techno takes no skill, i would ask you to try it. It doesn't take just 5 minutes. I takes me, just as a local artist, up to a month to get songs just right!

I think DJs should not sell music because it hurt the artist that try to get out in the industry.now I think every artist need a DJ to do its shows.I really hope that this will stop soon.Iam a local DJ and I know how hard it is to get out there and be sucessful.it takes time and patients.
