WARNING NOTICE

To all DJs, selectors, Music Lovers - we LOVE you all! Especially those who buy our products legally, either on MP3 format , CDs or on Vinyl. Without your support over the years we would not exist!!

We are a very small independent label that only exists because we are still able to sell a minimum of vinyls and a few MP3s via iTunes.

Unfortunately it has come to our attention that our last set of releases has been pirated, or shall I say pillaged, like crazy and our songs have been carelessly posted on all sorts of file sharing sites - recorded from the actual vinyls. We've had this problem before but not as bad as now!

We are aware that the new culture in reggae is one of free tunes for all, made available over the Internet. It might not affect some organisations as much as us to give away their songs. That's because they don't have the same overheads we have; so in order to survive we have to act.

From now on, we are asking people to stop uploading our tracks or our riddims and posting them on file sharing sites, and to refrain from doing Megamixes or posting any of our songs on YouTube. You might not think so but it is KILLING our business! In future we will take down all illegal links to any of our material which we find on the net ...

We will have an official YouTube channel, set up soon, where we will be posting Megamixes of our records which we have paid to make and which we own, and our new releases will be available on iTunes soon as well.

We have taken down illegal YouTube postings of our latest releases and much as we would like to thank everyone for their support - posting our songs is actually NOT HELPING US!!!!!!! Especially now with the YouTube MP3 converter! So please be aware that we will take down any videos posted of our material from now on, to avoid account cancellation by YouTube. That is the only way for us to try and stop this problem and survive as these records cost money to make and we cannot afford for people to continue giving them away like sweets.

Thank you for all your support and consideration.

Respectfully,

The Maximum Sound Team
