The beauty of R1 and 1X now, is the listen back option, if u want to hear the tunes with out the speech, just skip through it 
Illegal downloads of mp3 tunes being one of 'em, soulseek, kazza and the latest fad, bit torrents. Tunes being available for leeching by people who dont really need to be having the tunes, its all status. I have the latest dubs bullshit! And this is just a percentage of the problem. Its 50/50 - Radio is the commercial side, yes there is a commercial side, love it or hate it. Thats not just drum and bass its the whole dance music industry, it helps in some ways, by bringing new listeners to the scene (as ive said previously). Do you its because we are "into the scene" a bit more than most, we think R1 could be harming things? I see the good n bad points in it.

it depends what you mean by 'harming' ezazz. For instance if someone listens to their show and then ends up thinking dnb is shite then its their loss. Now perhaps in a purely commercial/promotional sense it is harmful, but then as you pointed out before its not about the money its about the music.

erm... i dunno.... If they listen to it and don't like the music fair enough then yeah it's thier loss. But if they listen to it and all that crappy talk gets in the way of them even begiining to enjoy the music or to 'check it out' properly then its not their fault and our loss - cos they could've been a potential fan. I don't believe MP3's are killing music, they harm record sales yeah, but in terms of spreading music they are absolutely ace. Why? because more people can get more choice meaning people can listen to what they really want to. Regardless of whats pushed on them by the majors or the promos. Basically the music stands up for itself and speaks for itself. (in which case DnB wins hands down  )
But then I guess we have to think about whether music becoming 'free' would harm the production to begin with ie would people stop producing if there was little or no money in it (which is another debate altogether lol)  |

ILLEGAL downlaod of Mp3s aren't doing any part of any scene any good. |

dnb would still be great without any fans, surely. |

dunno, music 4 everyone. thats whats great about music, so much diversity yet harmony. if i couldnt record sets off people or albums i wouldn't be able to listen to such diverse range of music. chuck d from public enemy once said that without bootlegs and people recording albums the artists wouldnt be as well known. they may not be as 'rich' but the exsposure has worked for many artists in the long run.
