“As a new and very small independent label, piracy is still one of the biggest obstacles and problems we face....”
Elmer R Mooring Jr, Label
Amarrage Recordings
Kelvin Lucas, Label Owner and Music producer:
"We use AudioLock to protect our releases, but there are many private Russian pages that are impossible to control! It is very tedious to have to beg them every month to erase your music."
Andrei Ungureanu, Label Manager:
"Piracy is damaging creativity. It steals work from producers and labels crew and more than that it acts as legitimate in front of the music fans. Most of the fans that pay to pirate sites are misleading, and that amount of financial effort is cowardly directed to wrong beneficiaries. Crossworlder has always been supporting young artist development, and this is in our core philosophy. Piracy is stopping young artists from understanding their mission within the global music industry. Its damage is more than financial. It is interfering with the natural development of the musical culture."
Sean Dickson, Label Manager :
"Piracy is declining the sales hence declining the art of making music "
