Fowty Dollaz Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's cool that some labels pressed vinyl even when no one was buying it, but you can't pay rent in punk points, man. On a side note, I cashed in all mine (punk points) about 7 years ago and life has never been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of Breath Records Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 In this thread: - People who don't understand how business works. - People who think they understand how business works, but can't deal with the reality, and then just whine about how their "unique business model" isn't working. - People who need to experience real problems, because if all you're worried about is not being able to spend hard earned dollars on records for a few months a year, then your life probably rules. Assuming this is a stab at independent labels who don't agree with the problems RSD causes? Quit being a prick, you're acting as if you've never complained or been bummed out by anything before, get off your high horse mr. "need to experience real problems". If you can't empathize with the problem than you have no place to make opinions about it. But again, people on the internet know everything about nothing.

From the looks of your webstore, you've put out one actual vinyl release and everything else has been on cassette. Clearly an expert able to talk about how labels work. By all means go back to acting like a delay on one record is going to kill your cassette label. mssskat184 and Duff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have 1 release, but that doesn't mean I'm not familiar with the problem, I'm not complain it's killing my label, I'm addressing the issue that many other labels also have who've I've learned from and told me about this problem. Thanks for the suggestion though Emo Revival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Breath Records Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's as if I'm doing something wrong by addressing a case of major labels screwing smaller labels and musicians with RSD. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 RSD is a good thing for some, a bad thing for others. Why does everything have to be so black and white? Everyone calm down. Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if your business model isn't failing because you come off as an overly whiny, entitled, tempramental butthole? Just own up to not knowing what the fuck you're doing and stop complaining about "big business" running smaller labels out. It's called adapting... change, or get the fuck out of the game. And to anyone complaining about RSD and still buying things... YOU ARE THE REASON THERE IS A PROBLEM. Not Asian Man, not No Idea... whatever, this board blows. I swear I haven't been able to click on a title without reading incessant bitching. Did that other board go away?

Conjure wax out of thin air? I know what the fuck I'm doing because I've had a lot of really hardworking people help me along the way. You don't know shit about anything, you're vehement trash.

Shitty Rambo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You're going to get gouged for money in some way for the thing you love, whatever it may be, and that level of gouging is based on a person's perceived "love" for that thing. Before vinyl got out of hand, it was paying $25 for an 11 track CD or facing the total price of tickets before Ticketmaster was forced to adjust their fees. I paid them in my teens, and paid them happily - because the music meant that much to me. It will never be a perfect world, and there will never be a way to appease everyone when it comes to the relationship between art and money This is why - BobbyHill, cemeterytapes and kurtz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
