Do you ever take this as a 'teaching moment' and tell them why that is a horrible way to view things? Of course, this just goes to show what everyone's probably noticed: 99% of DJs are complete wankers. Present company excepted off course. On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 5:23 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ah, see, my point has nothing to do with morals nor ethics. In my understanding the OP works for a music shop, rubadub if i'm not mistaken, a shop that most likely relies on repeat business by paying customers of music media, not just music gear. Sure, there are going to be people who use it

I wonder if people regard me as a music thief - I don't buy much music these days as I tend to download DJ mixes that (mostly) friends put up. I stopped buying vinyl years ago as I had to give it up like an alcoholic has to give up booze. I go to parties and regard that as my economic contribution

Anybody who lives on a budget will take pride in getting something for nothing. That is how it works. Of course R-a-D will keep selling Serato. It's a good product. Refusing to sell it would be like refusing to sell blank cd's because people use them to burn bootlegs. Please! And R-a-D, like any

Well, sorta. Wave goodbye to DJ Mixes that haven't gone through proper channels. It sucks I know. It's sort of a replay of the record industry's response to cassette tapes when they came into popular usage in the early 80's...they really hated mix tapes and tried to kill home cassette recorders.
