Update on the downlaod button and other things

Hi Everyone -

We want to update you on a few different things, some that you know about, some new.

They have all happened more or less at the same time, and have ended up affecting the site all at once.

First, a bit of background: we started getting alerted to copyright content on the site.We have never wanted to be a repository for copyrighted material! eSnips has a clear policy of not allowing copyrighted content illegally on the site. This policy has been articulated in the Terms of Use, in the forums and so on. eSnips is a place for original content, and we are proud of the quality of our user’s content and the community activity on our site!

And around this same time, we were approached by artists and reps wanting to post and sell their stuff here but without an automatic download.

It seemed like a good idea to coordinate the two - limiting automatic download, and taking care of any copyright on the site. Up until then we had no way to identify such content; we had acted according to DMCA guidelines and taken down any materials indicated to us as copyrighted.

After researching the different solutions on the market, we implemented Audible Magic. eSnips is committed to using any new technologies to identify copyrighted materials as they become available.

On top of all this, recently we discovered about sites set up to abuse eSnips, and exploit content on the site, use up our bandwidth and avoid even the lack of a download button!

So we are trying a more limited bandwidth for a while. We have tried to do what will cause a minimum of problems to esnippers in general, and we are still monitoring it to see how things develop. We have already made a fine-tuning in the bandwidth as a result of feedback we got from esnippers, and we hope you see that in your browsing the site.

In around a month and a half we should finish all the scans and tests, and then we can re-evaluate the bandwidth and download options.

As changes are made, we will update you all.

We want to thank you for your patience with all this going on.

The eSnips team

[HERE YA GO-BORROW MY LP-THEN LOCK ME UP]

WHAT HAPPENED IN TIME BEFORE THE INTERNET? PEOPLE DIDNT SHARE MUSIC? YES THEY DID. BUT BACK THEN THE RECORD PRODUCERS WERENT AS GREEDY AS THEY ARE NOW. THEY WERE WILLING TO LET SOMEONE BUY AN LP AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND TO RECORD ON THEIR HOME MUSIC SYSTEM.THATS WHY DOUBLE TAPE DECKS WERE INVENTED. TO COPY MUSIC.EVEN IF IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE COPYWRITTEN MATERIAL, IT STILL WAS. AND WE'VE ALL DONE IT. TO SAY ITS A CRIME THE SAME AS BREAKING INTO AN ARTIST HOME IS JUST REDICULOUS.
ITS JUST GREEDY RECORD PRODUCERS THAT ARE RUINING IT ALL FOR EVERYBODY. SO SORRY TO SEE YOU GO ESNIPS.IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED. I REALLY WISH WE MET A BIT SOONER SO I HAD SPENT MORE TIME WITH YOU WHILST YOU WERE FUN...VERY SAD NOW.........
