What is up with everyone? Just have a box that says.. Dis-able download for files you DONT want people to download!!! Now.. Isn't that easier?????????? Im done with this subject now.. Have a great xmas everyone. Byeeeeee.... :lol:  

Agree. A check box next to your files in your (Profile Editor) Downloadable, Yes NO [ ] Add Download [ ] Do NOT allow download [ ] Add Download [ ] Do NOT allow download [ ] Add Download [ ] Do NOT allow download cont. . . [SUBMIT] This way a current user can ( Allow/Not-Allow ) multiple files at one time instead of one file @ a time. New files can have a ( POPUP ) window. . . Allow this file to be downloaded. ( Yes ) ( NO ) 

Why should I spend hours enabling my files for download, when they originally where available for download????? Esnips did this fuck up..... esnips can fix it as well! I'm not going to spend hours doing the job, a simple query could do.... 

i totally disagree >=O

I dis-agree This is complete CRAP cuz it was this webbsite me and my friend got MP3's to remix from(acapella's and Instrumentals) and now we cant even do that....thanks for ruining our life as remixers! 

I have written them on this issue about a week ago and already made all of the suggestions on this thread.Give them some time as there are a lot of legal things that a lot of you may not understand.They are working very hard to make sure that all people's rights are covered and that the legal side of this is covered. The reason for this, is a lot of the stuff being uploaded on to this site is not legal, and really should not be on here at all.If you want this site to stay up, then this is what works to protect the rights of the artist involved. I advise everyone to sit tight and lets see what happens cause, if you just go to some of the pages and look at what they have in folders for download then you might understand the legal ramifications that they must be facing from a lot of sources. In other words don't take advantage of what is givin to you(for free) cause it could be taken away.

im sorry but ,,you have 65 pepole that disagree with you here, and this is just 1 thread,,,the snips has had the chance to explain the leagel end of things,,they have the chance to ask how this would effect us (b-4 they made changes)and now they have had a chance to fix things or explain to us,,, the infos providid in the last week have been slim to none,,,,so whos to say (whats really going on??)--im more erked at the point that something that effects so many --get so lil explanition from the e-snips side of things----like ferg said all we get is-->>>were considering this----were looking at that,,,there are no answers to this issue---and i think the 65 peps in this thread alone just want some answers,,as to the (real reason) who,what,when ,where and why this is happening..and had you beeen lonnie explaining that you were faceing leagle issues,,,, more peps would understand,,,but all we know--- is that they turned it off---and no ones getting (real) answers!!!!! so sorry --i wont wait for a while--- snips--needs to eather fix things or give their users a real answer!!!!!!! and also like ferg says--their are other sites that do the same thing,,that offer the same stuff,,and i belive many are leaving. and i dont blame them,,i think many are considering leaveing,,,,,this whole issue shows alot about this site and whats in store for us in the future ,,if things dont change!!!!! hello we need a real explanition!!!!!!! thanks p.s. im still protesting this issue-----if you feel this is bad for snips ,,copy and paste the text at my profile to your profile!! thx we will come togeather in masses, and only then will we see the snips true colors!!!! like now????[/quote Well my thought is this,If you were paying for this then you might be able to demand a answer or demand change,but you are not so you can't.Go look for a site that gives you 5gigs free and not limit your bandwith.I have and they are far and few.So if whom ever wants to start a grand upheaval and lead the masses to the promise land then go for it,I won't miss ya and I am sure there will be more to replace ya. :-}}}]]> http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11171 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11171 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11172 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11172 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11174 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11174 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11175 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11175 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11177 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11177 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11178 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11178 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11179 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11179 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11180 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11180 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11181 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11181 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11182 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#11182 GMT I personally miss the download button.

Bravo Synsi, except .... this is a user public vote... that's why it's a voting thread... because no one knew of your private email... so accept our apologies...! Oh and guess what dude - just type I agree then!! DOH!

Okay Synsis - when did you have this information brought to your attention. Better still can you enlightten us all as to the infringment that your specifically refering to?!?! because as far as I am aware, the material available Is unique/original/owner copyrighted and covered by PRS? The process is initiated by upload - not download! Would you like me to explain the difference or is your mama gonna explain that while your eating your coco pops this morning? Hello Mcfly?

Synsense- ur observations just blow me away! clap clap..! now try read my initial post again and just post "I agree" we weren't aware of your email? perhaps you could post a copy here for us all to see? maybe even the acknowledgement reciept to whome u sent it to - so we can all share it?

However, I'm not so sure if all the points raised in my initial topic/post have been considered as well as the other points raised by other users, because no one from Esnips has actually commented on this thread and that this was the first thread about the problem/change? Non-the less I think it's time to say a big thanks to everyone for posting. I hope that Esnips continues to progress and develop and that we all continue to be one of the biggest communities on the Internet. In future I would prefer a clearer message of intention to existing users, with perhaps a more structured feedback system that would involve community leaders responsible for feedback? Users make a website in whatever context, so lets keep that as the main objective! I posted this thread/topic in other areas of the forum and the responses have been to say the least massive. Over half of the registered users have responded and i think thats something we should all be proud of. As long as users are always respected and communicated to in a consultation method that's of a clear and concise fashion, then there will always be a fluid response, which will be buoyant and provide a middle ground that finds the neutral position and is usually positive which leads to the correct type of development! I hope that I have been of a some help to everyone in so much as raising this issue and that I have not offended to many people - I f i have then.... sorry but F**k Y** :D Ya know to be quite honest after all this crap and the shit I had i just don't really give a shite any more!

just so you all know if you go to your folder and look to your right of the song listed, click on edit Details there is a box you can check that makes your music downloadable. You will see this info right next to the check box: By checking this box you will make this audio file available for download by other users. In doing so, you confirm that the file was created by you and that you allow other users to download it for their personal use. I hope this helps instead of fussing with all of the code. DJ Tony T

then if they dont visit their pages why should they have the use of the service and storage! just my opinion... thats the thing you see the ones who have been shouting the most and getting quite abusive actually dedicate very little or nothing to the site! some are members less than a day and just feel its their god given rights. 

and wats ur point??? the fact u cant do nothin to make this site the perfect social place where every user is dedicated and just perfect as he shud be makes u feel bad! but the thing is if u cant make sometihn better dont even try, its absurd!

It's true that some people just join to download songs. But I really hate the fact that some of the old members, before the new audio policy that is, never activate the download button.

They Joined the site for a number of probable reasons... The cache pages show (as they still do) download. The vast majority of users that Joined esnips, joined on that ethos/basis.

go check and i bet ya half the people throwing it out in this thread have been a member for next to no time, no sharing or add nothing to the site.... 

That's not correct, they provided valued information when joining and the verification process achieves/activates this. The majority of people usually revisit a site in which they have been satisfied. If you rewind back then - the argument in that respect is flawed, because any one could join and download. onnus on the existing user is affected not the new user

Genise wrote:

in my language we call them freeloaders not artists! .. we should hand these members free dummies or soothers as they walk through the door 

No, they are people that have visited the site through search engine results, recomendations, friends and general advertising. They came on a basis of Free Hosting and default downlaoding as set default - if you were to become a member, no problem with the change but it alters the default position.

cause you can tell them till your blue in the face original artists material is copyrighted and not allowed BUT should they wish to share their OWN works then just upload the file then go into edit and click the share for download button 

Hmmm, gonna throw one at ya here denise.. The MULTI - BILLION Record Industry convenientley missed out on the whole Internet revolution - GET REAL! LMFAO! They are behind it, AOL, TIME WARNER are all major examples. The marketing reports STILL available to the public, share holders and alike identified consumer trends - They elected to ignore this and manipulated the market by price fixing on the pre tense that consumers would ignore music and alike on the internet, hence all the successful law suits! On the variation of Music liscences alone - you can not possibly globalise it. if you were to set a far east web site up - copyright prosecution is 4-5 years away from even been contemplated.

Yes there is, they have spent the time finding the site, registering with hope and then finding dissapointment. Changin the default position - not an issue.

.....So you're saying everyone here doesn't make their own music? There have been uploaded music, that belongs to others, and are copyrighted, but this is not why esnips is here. IF you read the FAQ, all answers are there. As a matter of fact, even as I write this, all files are being scanned, and copyrighted material is removed. In other words, this is a place for original music, created by esnips users, and YES, it is up to the artist to allow or not allow downloading of his song!]]> http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#13424 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#13424 GMT http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#13492 http://forum.esnips.com/posts/list/2337.page#13492 GMT Hmmm, gonna throw one at ya here denise..

Thanks for your input and my name is Genise! mr or mrs lergie :mrgreen:  

and thankyou for that feedback .. your comments just there really are of no significance they neither annoy or upset. as for the thread about silent bob your talking about i really have no idea not sure i even saw the thread. As for an official response what did you want me to reply?...i said thankyou for your input ..i really was not asking questions just expressing an opinion, i might be one of the new moderators around here but i do not have the say on what happens with the download situation.
