   it's kind of fuct up that u post 3 dilla beats immediately after posting an article that explains how piracy really can have a tangible negative effect on an artist's legacy. sad. you also said it's an interview with mrs yancey, so i guess you didnt read the article at all.

   fair play, however, these are 3 beats that are not available for sale on beat tapes or albums. i made sure that they were not available for purchase elsewhere before i posted them.
   
   if you look at my sniperlite post, i removed the beats on there which are for sale via the stonesthrow website. although, i appreciate your patronage and comments. please do keep reading, and yes, i did read the article. it seems that you and i took a different meaning from it though. im not freestyling over dilla beats and releasing them or making them my own. i'm merely disseminating dilla beats that are not available for purchase. perhaps you should also take issue with those blogs who are making Sniperlite and Murder Goons freely available.
   
   or is it just bang the box you wanna target, and perhaps thats kind of fuct up.
   
   i also find it kind of funny that people only step in on piracy issue with dilla beats, but everything else is fair game.
   
   seems kind of hypocritical, don't it?

   LOL, you just don't get it, do you?
   
   you jack someone's shit, it's piracy. it's piracy when it's available, and it's even more fucked up piracy when it's music that's not yet available.
   
   the article that YOU posted explains this.

   i'm going to stick to my previous comment. you obviously didn't take issue with Jeff Weiss posting track immediately below the interview. so why is it only here?
   
   i'd also like you to address my other question because i see you downloading other tracks like it's all good, but somehow, it's different for dilla?
   
   something doesn't make sense there.

   jeff weiss is a writer, not someone who does a blog that is dependent on pirated MP3s for readers, and he did not post Dilla beat tape bootlegs like you.

   no, he posted released material that was available for purchase. how is that different? it isn't, and this blog does not depend on bootlegs. you are sorely mistaken.

   ... and again, i don't see your ante up for your previous downloads, like madlib.
   
   answer my questions.
