Beatdrop Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Already reposted elsewhere. Just saw this on his MySpace profile today. Really pisses me off, to say the least. Do what you can to pass the word along: Quote
Orange Pylon Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 He did good by writing down some of the serial numbers. That's always a good thing to do when you have lots of expensive electronics. Quote
Effef Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Quote
Atomic Dog Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 That's too bad. BT is probably my single most favorite artist in the techno/electronica genre. Been listening to him since before I could drive. Quote
EdgeCrusher Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Oh, techno. I thought it was someone important. Quote
Koelsch1 Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Techno? Sounds to me like the theif is doing us all a favor. Quote
watkinzez Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Oh, shit. Hope it comes through for him. Quote
Dhsu Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 BOOM HISS BOOM HISS But no, seriously, that sucks. Losing property is one thing, but being robbed of your art and your time...that stuff can't be replaced, and a lot of the time it doesn't even do the thief any good. Quote

The cash he could do with it would buy lots of meth, man. Quote
TCK Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Sadly, the first thing that came to mind was "GREAT ESCAPE!" Sucks pretty bad nonetheless. Quote
Villainelle Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Isn't this like the second or third time it's happened to him? Can't say I care. The guy is filthy rich and can replace virtually anything. The stuff he couldn't, e.g. project files, should have been backed up. And you'd think after multiple robberies, you'd spend a little on better security or something. Quote
zircon Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Actually, Leah, a recent frivolous lawsuit over sampling someone initiated against BT has left him almost broke. He's not wealthy in the least. Additionally, I would imagine that his custom patches, custom tuned instruments, presets, and recordings are NOT replaceable. They are by definition unique. Quote

Yet timbaland goes free? Haha, law. Quote
zircon Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Who said Timbaland is going free, or that BT is guilty? You are confusing the issues here. The court case against Timbaland is going forward as far as I know (or at least, the original artist's lawyers are working on the papers). But he has Geffen behind him. He has unlimited resources. BT does not. BT will undoubtedly win the case, but in his own words, it took $10,000 worth of expert testimony to determine that one thing he was accused of "stealing" was a pattern from page 1 of a basic percussion textbook. The problem here has nothing to do with guilt or innocence, but legal fees. Quote
Effef Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The problem here has nothing to do with guilt or innocence, but legal fees. And the justice system wins again! Quote
Deathtank Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 www.btmusic.com I dunno how long passed since this actually happened but it's a shame this happened to one of my favorite artistes. I think that stuff must be really expensive but, he says it's more of a sentimental value than money value. Well, help if you can! Quote
CH Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 This was posted a while back, but it deserves to be seen again. BT is too talented for this to keep happening. Quote
Villainelle Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Can we stop spamming this? It's been posted like 4 times in the last month or two. Quote
Hawkwing Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Can we stop spamming this? It's been posted like 4 times in the last month or two. i never saw it until just now. Quote
watkinzez Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Wait, what? Now I completely don't get what belongs in Community and Offtop respectively. Quote
Bahamut Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Wait, what? Now I completely don't get what belongs in Community and Offtop respectively. Well this is about a musician. main forum; discussion of ocremix, games, music, anime, and related topics. Quote
The Joker Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 You guys do realize, that most film scores would be labeled "Techno", at least as far as techno applied to this particular artist is concerned. Anyway, yeah, I read it on his myspace. He's trying to get some sort of non profit organization going, or something like that, to protect artists in the event their own stuff gets jacked. Quote
