oh yeah, and then some. he tried to leech off me Take That's "Beautiful World" album instrumentals, the dyiacapellas I've made from them, as well as the matching album files (so he can make more himself). I had planned to get more files off him as a trade, but I think someone at BlackLabelled tipped him off. unfortunately he's befriended some of that site's staff members and they let him run rampant. it's probably the whole "keep your enemies closer" thing, but how does that really work in this case, when he's let loose that way, free to rip anything and anyone off? often makes me question the intelligence of said staff members over there.
I share freely because I'm a music lover and hoping others will enjoy my stuff as well, but I paid 200 euro for the ultra-rare "Beautiful World" EMI instrumentals promo cd, and 150 euro for "The Circus" instrumentals from the same band, and I'll be damned if I let that leech profit from it.
it's also good to know you don't have a rule against bashing that grotesque site. people at BL get bent out of shape by the mere mention of those bloody thieving initials. heh noone appreciates blunt honesty anymore
