same thing has happened in the land of retro remakes, some cheeky twats where bundeling a bunch of remakes on a disk and selling them, now i make sure we have a screen saying the remake is free and if anyone has paid for it to demand their cash back.

Heads up Hazel, release a cd and I will buy it :D

This is like when someone a while back claimed that he had done my WOTEF remix, I emailed him and yelled (how that now works, lol)
He atleast said I'm sorry.

I think it's about time to register the own tracks at STIM (or whatever there is in other countries) so when someone claims that he have done it, there is proof that he didn't...
Though I think the track has to beplayed on a radio station or something before it can be registered, but that wouldn't be a problem i guess? :P

I have to look this up before I prepare for some release...whenever that is... :wink:

Stealers is just pathetic, lazy idiots that... Why bother, they are IDIOTS!

Hazel,

I registered here on this forum just to tell you that I feel really bad about what Djbalor did. I listened to the tracks he submitted for a long time and I thought that he had to be a genius of sorts for coming up with so many different tracks on a weekly basis. I think it's outrageous that this went on for such a long time before the truth came out.

I happen to know the guy who first recalled hearing one of the tracks before. He immediately informed the admins and started searching for the real authors of the tracks. It was all pretty shocking, because we had been fans of Djbalor's "work" for a long time and we both thought that he was overall a really cool guy.

But let's look at the silver lining. Now we're your fans. We've been listening to these tracks, we're really happy that there are more of them out there and we're also glad that we're now able to tell you how much talent you have! :cheers:

Overall, we know who the real artists are and we know where to find their official websites. So, in a way Djbalor did introduce us to your music even though he did it the worst possible way imaginable.

As for the thief, now everyone knows what a scumbag he is. He has to come face to face with the fact that the little network of friends and fans he built with the help of stolen music doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. He probably feels like crap right now. The only talent he has is to steal things and that won't get him very far in any respect.

Keep your chin up, Hazel. Keep up the good work. Don't let this guy get you down.

So true or he is to stupid that he doesn't care and keep doing this.

The thing with him now is that IF he does an own track(IF HE CAN!!!), noone will ever believe that he has made it.. LOL :D :hysterical:

Popped over after Alien posted this on BitFellas (and read it on Furaffinity, being a member there my self) - don't let it get to you guys, continue making music if you enjoy it :)

Hazel and other artists.

I know its a terrible thing that has happened, and the extent of the situation does not make it any better.

Lets turn this tragedy around and make it into a positive thing, judging by the posts of the new members, there are a lot of fans of your tunes. I believe in the end this means that the FAN base of all of our excellent composers here will grow.

So embrace the new Fan Base, by making more tunes and not the opposite.

Seriously. Even in this thread you manage to squeeze in a plug for your own stuff. Do you seriously think everyone who wasn't ripped off should go ahead and say that here? Or should we start listing everything DjBalor didn't rip off?

Really. (name removed). Get a grip.

At least he removed the dubious link in the entry..it pointed to some game where you had to download a plugin.

Or perhaps he had standards.

But To be serious, I personally wouldn't get so worked up about this, the guy is only young (and a furry) and the damage is minimal.

My comment was just meant as sarcasm about that. I don't really care if my stuff would also be affected because the source of every song and every remix will be found anytime if one of the thrustful consumer are looking around for alternative remixes and find it at RKO. But it doesn't worth the excitement. Instread I would get in contact with the webmaster or give to admonish the concerned person.
Ok, now you're just not making any sense. But at least you're not blaming it on someone hacking you computer.

I guess your sarcasm is too complex for me. And for Dumper. And probably most of Earth. And possibly other planets, assuming there's intelligent life, of course. You know, marscasm - alien sarcasm...from Mars. Or scarasm. The kind that hurts.

What a sad excuse of a ripoff...

Hazel, it's seriously no fun to be victim to such a wierdo and he must have been seriously mentally challenged to think he could get away forever with his little stunt... I guess he is really kind of unsound, an attention addict or whatever - annoying but one pitiful fool.

Don't let that lose faith in your abilities or other people. :!:

I mean... when I've seen his picture, I was thinking he is punished enough with a look into the mirror each morning...
