It is with sadness to announce that our beloved website www.mixcrate.com has been closed due to copyrights infringement. A way of life has been disprupted, all those awesome mixtapes we will never hear them again. All upcoming DJs have nowhere to showcase their talent, hii ni hujuma.
The copyright authorities also ensured all video mix tapes were removed from www.vimeo.com and also from www.soundcloud.com. No more Demakufu downloads, no more streaming your favourite djs mixes, no more downloading mixtapes for your car/houseparties. Lord help us.
Zi. Kuna some songs are copyrighted, and end up in these mixtapes. The owners do not want them there unless you pay for them. In kenya where most DJs download mp3 illegally and make mixtapes, the site got into trouble. Like 80% of mixes in mixcrate were by Kenyan DJs.
Hiyo mixcloud pia won’t last. The only way to beat the copyrights agencies is through peer to peer connections. Sadly, streaming via P2P is almost impossible due to non commitment of uploaders.
Hehehe…My Ninja you do not know how music distributors like the Sony group and UMG are not people to fuck with. You just end up doing a hide and seek game.
Read about how VEVO came about and you will understand.
