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."
Ben Rush, CEO:
"The fact that this type of pirate site, without offering free downloads, can thrive despite charging users up to $45 a month, highlights that the claim often made: ‘we can’t compete with free so why try fighting piracy’ is no longer a reason to think you should just allow it to continue. "
Claudio Capo, Label Manager:
"Music feels like using drinking water, you open the tap and it streams out. But in the end, we need to take care of it or it becomes scarce and really expensive. Support your favourite artists."
