I was notified today that another album I'd previous posted has been hidden due to copyright issues. In this case, it's "BBC Sessions, Volume 4" by T. Rex.
That especially sucks because it's obviously part of a series, as you can tell by the name, and an unfinished series at that. All the material on the first three volumes comes from the same source, a box set, so it's probably just a matter of time before those are banned too.
If anyone would be willing to post these sorts of albums on a different website or blog, so I could then link to that webpage, that would really help. I'm sure I would have less grief than if I have to post a download link here. Someone named Nico helped me do that with an album recently, and it worked. Nico, if you still out there, I could use more help like that (including the Tom Petty set from the No Nukes festival, which still doesn't have a link). Or if anyone else could help, that would be really great.
By the way, note that all of the albums that have been removed here still are being shared via SoulseekQT. They seem to have very different standards. Just type in the name of the artist and album you want, plus "atse" (which I put in the titles of all the folders I share). You may not find what you want right away, because not all people are connected to all other people at all times, but it should come up in a few days at the most. Putting it on your wishlist search in that program helps you find stuff faster.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of soulseek before. It seems like a modern version of bearshare or napster. Do you find that it's safe; free from virus issues?
ReplyDeleteMaybe put it on Archive.org and post the link here.
ReplyDeleteIf you or someone else wants to help with that, I can send the files.
