Pirate Bay

[S.K.I.T.Z Beatz]

Is anybody else aware that the company controlling 25% of the worlds torrent downloads are massive fans of grime?

swedish dudes i believe... made a couple films called STEAL THIS MOVIE 1&2

two will show u wats really good and what are ur views?

[Jay]

Yeah i heard they put some grime instrumentals in steal this movie 2, not sure which tracks they were though?

[FG]

I think it was an excerpt of Slash - Murder Music, from the Grime's Not Dead: Its Live podcast

[Ari Gold]

surely pirates bay doesn't control 25% of the worlds downloads? thats mad i dint realise it was such a big site i thought it was any torrent site.

[adidasgrandad]

its a funny world

Pirate Bay Is Flipping Huge Still.
Never Know About The Guys Being Grime Fans Tho.

[S.K.I.T.Z Beatz]

pirate bay cited the grime scene as the one most ready for the death of the cd (2010)

i was wondering why certain man kept gettin booked in europe after doin no radio no nothin over there but i kno now...

[adidasgrandad]

most ready for the death of the cd as in being best prepared or most vulnerable?

So basically your saying Pirate Bay has helped grime abroad?

[JoelBauta]

they aint. Grime was kinda big in sweden for a while, and they were just trying to be hip. But i don't think they are pushing grime in any way. And anyways one of them is a outspoken racist, and they are all indited. Good riddance.

[S.K.I.T.Z Beatz]

they said grime is the most prepared... JOELBAUTA watch the film and u will see what they are dealin with... i dnt see rascists there but wteva

i believe it must hav helped grime in europe as the distributors are far too crap to get stuff out there and a survey said that 1 out of 3 downloads mainland europe is frm them

[adidasgrandad]

hmmm i wonder how grime is the most prepared...

[S.K.I.T.Z Beatz]

possibly because it has an army of online fans...

how can unsigned grime artists have more myspace views than a singer on a major?

[JoelBauta]

i'll have a looksie. But anyways, i doubt they are the reason you get bookings in europe, at least in sweden i know theres lots of enthusiasts that do clubs and book artists, and theres also some independent distributors. Who probably keep themselves updated throu sites like this and blogs. Though the dubstep scene has stolen a lot of the light lately.

[Jay05]

hmmm i wonder how grime is the most prepared...

prob cos artist already doing the free mixtape thing. Also the cd's sales r quite small anyway so the difference should be minimal

would of thought dubstep could survive without cd's, as it already pretty much is

Thats Real.
Whats All This About Death Of The CD?

[SHANK BUTCHER]

there was a rollerblading film called steal this movie by razors 1 and 2 but i'm pretty sure it was californian, if that was them though then they'd be the safest bre's ever lol

Yeah i think the death of cd is going to happen soon.

Major Labels are already attempting to prepare for it.

[G-dub]

Grime is a big market, but only online!

[Anonymous]

If The Death Of The Cd Happens, I Take It The Main Format Will Be Mp3.
And Does That Also Mean A Complete End To Vinyl?

[Jason P]

I highly doubt MP3 is going to be a major commercial format, since it lacks quality. Its a no-no for audiophiles. Though few people can tell the difference between 320kbps and raw wavs.

Look what happens with blueray.
We'll see what will happen in the audio industry.

[Blimey]

Personally i dont think cds will dissapear, id rather have something physical. Especially when media formats come and go, with better rates of compression, u could spend a fortune on itunes and then have to rebuy everything again when the next format is released. Im sticking with cds.

[Channel_E-D]

I was on the Wii this morning checking the news and it said Pirate Bay is getting closed down lol they raided the office or something and charged these 4 guys about £200,000 for damages.

Bun Pirate Bay anyway, it's all about Mininova.

[Demos]

rah ppl are getting raided left right and centre, these torrents sites are dropping like flies.
i beg someone recommend me a replacement for demonoid plz

[Jason P]

http://www.torrent-search-bar.com/

all over the place

Searches in more than 30 sites.

[JayStarz]

Just came across this.

People with free Promo's should contact PirateBay, and get themselves on the top of the 'featured' downloads at the top, especially if the owners are 'grime fans'

I generally download the features if they're not some emo-rock type shit tbh, just to have a look

It`s already been done, a war similar to HD-DVD and Blu-ray...except both flopped.

I don`t think many people care about increasing audio quality any further.

[Andre]

they formed a political party and ran in the election on the basis that they would make it legal

[basementality]

[Prometheus.]

[Razmataz]
