Forum: General Discussion

I will echo the sentiment of a majority of CU subscribers...if your only place to get music is CU you are insane. While I don't expect every DJ to live with razor thin margins as I do; you do have to put forth the investment into a catalog of music, before you can legitimately play with the hardworking big boys of the mobile/club DJ industry.

It reminds me being just a step above of the kids who download a warez/cracked copy of VDJ and expect to get support for their illegitimate software. It sucks CU is down because having to buy something like Rupert Holmes - Pina Colada Song is depressing (even if it is only a buck) but it is the cost of being in the business. I have no doubt it will soon be back.

Let me add, though, that I really really really really really really want the next iteration of CU to have accurate tags, accurate song titles, accurate indications of radio/clean versions, and no "DJ Cheese-ball" remixes that only have the moron yelling their moniker in the first thirty seconds of the song. More to the point I would like the next CU to move away from Groovesharks model of letting any moron upload their crappy version of the song....

I only use Groove Shark / Content unlimited occasionally but it's a great tool to have. And I'm not a fan of version 8 yet so I'm still using 7, which makes me unable to use Netsearch. Hopefully this will get resolved soon.

DJ James, you called it????? What does that get you, the Miss Cleo award? Or does it make you feel good to be right? Your premonition of "about to lose Grooveshark" in 2011, is baseless and irrelevant today. This is 2015, and it just sounds like a bunch of "I told you so" silliness. You actually went back, and got all your old post, just to say "I told you so"? I mean, who does that? I don't know, maybe it's an age thing, because the grownups I know, don't derive pleasure from the misery of others, while rubbing their face in it. As to the rest of the if they woulda, shoulda, coulda, what they did or didn't do, how does that help anything today? All we can do is wait and see how this plays out, because "it's like that, and that's the way it is, huh". This is a minor inconvenience for most of us, and we have gotten over it already. If your existence depended on contentunlimited, then you have a problem. We all have the same options. We can wait to see how this works out, find an alternative, or continue to rant. Ranting is free. For those of you afraid of losing your $10.00, the company has already addressed this in the thread. I don't know about the rest of you, but no matter what I read, I start at the beginning, so I don't miss anything.

However, there are a lot of lawsuits and charges that are trumped up or not valid to begin with.
Being an honest person, I do give people the benefit of the doubt. I believe someone should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
~5,000 songs out of their whole library could have easily been an oversight on someone taking care of licensing.... Unfortunately, in this case, it was not. That won't change how I approach people or lawsuits.
