As far as i'm concerned IRISH MOSS said it well and true. Let's move on to new and better things and "show some respect for the deceased and family" lol!

Without even getting into the legal technicalities, there's a serious breach of trust when a site owner passes on music tracks which were uploaded to a specific community website - either to be used by another website or to be made available on a torrent.

As originator of that music I'd expect to be asked for my permission. I didn't upload tracks to Versionist to have them there for posterity (if you want that then use archive.org, it's free, non-profit and pretty much guaranteed to make your music available for generations to come).

The reason I uploaded my tracks was to be part of a community and to get feedback from people who love, understand and respect reggae music. As far as I'm concerned the tribe has moved on and I now choose to upload my new music to RDW. For old times' sake I'll be uploading a selection of 'greatest hits' from the old site but I'm looking to the future, not the past.
