I love how people tend to see a well-written text and immediately take its side without asking who actually wrote it.
On one side, we have a member of our community who, the moment he got his hands on some unreleased material, shared as much information as he could — probably because he was trusted with it — including melodies, snippets, and structural details.
On the other side, we have a self-righteous jackass who leeches off unreleased material, using his connections and probably his wealth to take advantage of other members of the community (selling a DAT tape for €200,000 and a CD for €100,000), throwing around terms like “File Traders” as if he’s Brad Buxer himself, owning the original multitracks.
Brother, you were selling a CD with a FLAC file for €100,000 — drop the act.
And not only that, but you’ve acted like an elitist for years, never sharing a single shred of information. All you ever did was jump on the hype train whenever someone else leaked something, hoping you could sell your junk.
I’m genuinely happy that someone is finally messing with your collection.
I didn’t want to bring this up, but I can’t stand reading words like “hurting fans” coming from that guy. ****** elitists think they own the vault. Mike would’ve been disgusted by people like you.
