Michael Mucci, Label Manager, Producer
Amplitude Recordings
Darko Todorovski, Label Manager:
"Piracy kills music and artists!"
Kai Alce, Label Owner / DJ:
"Being a mostly vinyl label, having some protection over my digital output is essential."
Ruben, Label Manager Owner and artist:
"One of the most unpleasant example of how these pages work is that: Even though it hasn't gone on sale (we are in Pre-sale)my latest work, is available on those platforms to download... where's the security flaw? i dont know ... but the losses are already insured even before that goes on sale. First we lost a record store with the P2P like Napster, Emule, and since 2007 we see how these pages earn fortunes while the electronic music industry enters on losses and has to almost consider selling music as a promotion of its artists and not a business..."
Toni T. Travics, Label owner:
"We are a small label and unlike the much larger and popular ones we can not afford to lose what we barely have."
