Beatport and exclusive tracks, best way to promote piracy ? Example with Paul Ritch
Paul Ritch Carrrrramba Monkey mix in Google
One of the latest tracks by Paul Ritch, Carrrrramba (Monkey mix) is among the best sales on the US platform, and still, there are many chances that track is massively pirated. Quick analysis on how and why:
1° Track is exclusive to Beatport
2° Beatport sucks at SEO
3° Track is not on sale on artist website neither on label website
4° Google is indexing relevant websites on a given expression. Relevant websites for this query are, in order: artist website, label website, artist MySpace, label MySpace, legal music downloads websites, other websites
1+2+3+4 equation equals to illegal downloads being in top results in Google !!!
What’s even worst in the story is that Beatport is proud to have exclusives, and artists and labels really think that is a chance for them !
For those who do want to purchase the track, it’s here (jI don’t promote Beatport, but the artist)
