MP3 Sugar.con
Beware of MP3 Sugar.com!
You can download the UK Decay album’s For Madmen Only
and Rising from the Dread.
Along with just about any artist’s product on this ‘shady’ Russian website!
All single tracks are 10 US cents each (6pence UK) or you can purchase
any whole album for just 99 US cents (60pence UK).
Seems like a great deal
Wrong!
Although you will read on their website that everything is ‘above board’
and legal, this is definitely NOT THE CASE with UK Decay product!
Moreover, there may be many other artists in the same situation.
Think about it, $0.10. a track, $0.99 an album. That is simply too good
to be true, even if the artist, publisher and record label, were to get the
full 100 % of the revenue generated. This is unlikely as there is no
contract, permission granted, or license.
The quality of the download of the UK Decay recordings
will almost certainly be a poorly 'cleaned up' vinyl affair.
It definitely will not touch the 'real thing' when it finally comes out.
At the end of the day.. THESE GUYS ARE DODGY!
Would you trust them with your credit card details?
Furthermore they offer a ‘partnership’ program whereby they offer
other website’s a deal to ‘mirror’ the content of MP3 sugar ‘sharing’
the so called profit’s. Below are 3 such websites
http://mp3d.kh.ua
http://mp3db.uzhgorod.ua
http://www.themp3direct.com
Many more are set to join this bandwagon, giving not just artist’s an
even harder time but also the major legal download sites such as
I-Pod and MP3.com cause for concern.
Yes we have had ‘Illegal’ downloading for years, this however is different
these guys are pretending they are Legal and making a selfish profit out of their crime.
Below is an image of the download kindly sent in by one of our members,

Here's the intro to Madmen itself:
Pretty vile, channel balance is all wrong, and overall even my own attempts at cleaning my own vinyls up have been miles better!!!
Glad to have pointed out this "suspect operation". |
Spon is on the case, getting in touch with the publishers label PRS etc
We shall keep you informed of any developements
Thank you for reading this
