Universal Music Group uses an ad agency called “GroupM” that put ads on different sites, for which they(GroupM) have a new aggressive anti-piracy policy, and in turn they have compiled a blacklist of certain sites, and Blogs especially in the hip hop community, and we have the list right Here, After the Jump, and you’ll have to read it cause I won’t specifically name any since some our Friends and Family 🙁

“GroupM’s own content producing clients — such as Warner Bros, Paramount, Universal Music and Summit Entertainment, which produced the popular Twilight series of vampire movies — have shared their own lists of pirate websites to help create a master copy.”
What this means I’m not exactly sure, aside from the ad agency GroupM, not doing any business from Universal with them, which could affect their overall revenue, but not specifically do anything to the Blogs themselves, BUT what if Universal is planning on taking this ‘Blacklist’ to the government for more official shutdowns, man a scary thought….And will this list grow? Does this mean these sites will not post anymore music(doubtful). The Record companies do things like this to try and control the market again, but will it work, will you ‘buy’ music again?? or will the dwindling sales dwindle even more because a fan doesn’t know their new favorite song is even out for purchase?? Well not as long as they don’t put #IFWT on that list!!!! (We pretty much get our music straight from the labels/artist)
Sadly though see if your Favorite Blog is up here(well 2nd fav maybe, *Go #IFWT*)
I’M VERY HAPPY! I DON’T BUY MUSIC BUT I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM IF I HAVE TO!! IT WILL GET RID OF THESE SO CALLED “DJ’S” THAT ARE RUINING THE INDUSTRY!!!!! SHUT EM TO F&$& DOWN!!
LOL, you think it’s the DJ’s huh #Clueless #OutsideLookinIn
i think he was calling bloggers “Dj’s”
Djs still pay for songs n sites to download songs… so FUCK you u FUCKIN FUCKS… mvp STFU and stick to ur capitalist way of life… the pirate way is the way to go
Most of these sites are straight file sharing sites…I get that. However, a lot of these site are specifically for DJ’s and provide high quality remixes, acapellas, instrumentals, extend versions of tracks with intros/outros for mixing, etc. i.e. crooklynclan.net
If iTunes or the record labels would provide such material to meet the needs of the DJ’s, DJ’s would pay good money for it, and it would put these sites out of business.
They’re blacklisting sites like ‘datpiff’? That just seems pretty stupid, as sites like that help them break new stuff.
Universal Records out preformed by DJ’s, Statements by a mysterious “GroupM” hired as a type of internet mercenary by Universal Records to exterminate remixers who do basically to good of a job. Radio stations play their remixed version more than the original. People begin to think that the remixed version is the original, and scoff at the less enticing version they have to pay for. Their answer…. KILL ALL DJS!
