My friend and an awesome neoclassical shredder Borislav Mitic has recently signed for Lion Music which is the metal label from Finland that also released my album.
Just before he released his new record he posted a very seirous story about "The Murder of Music" on the Lion Music's website. Some of other Lion Music artists (including me) also gave their input on this subject. CHECK IT OUT HERE! I would be interested to see comments on Borislav's text from GMC community. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

This is the copy from Lion Music website about signing new artists. I hope this explains enough:
Dear Musicians, We are NOT able to sign more artists. No demos or masters you send us will be considered for release. We will NOT listen to any mp3 files or check out your websites and we will NOT respond to questions regarding releasing your album. The illegal file sharing on the net is killing independent music. We are sorry about this situation but we are sure you are aware of what is going on. Our demo policy will not change before our politicians have stopped the P2P sites. Illegal file sharing is not just about stealing from rich major companies. It is about killing independent music and making it impossible for many great musicians to have a chance to release albums and have a musical career even as a part time job. Some people seem to think that file sharing does not affect record sales but these people don't know what they are talking about. All musical genres and all kinds of artists are suffering and so will the genuine music fans in the end when the music they love will no longer be available in any guise - free or not. Next time you consider downloading an album for free or adding new torrents please think of the impact you are having on the artists - would you like it if we came into your home and stole your pay check? To give you some facts and figures on how this is affecting just some of Lion Music releases please view below - stats taken from just 1 non leading bit torrent site (we are not going to give free advertising to which site it is): * Angel Of Eden - The End Of Never : 9276 illegal downloads and rising! Sphere Of Souls - From The Ashes : 6445 illegal downloads and rising! Sun Caged - Sun Caged : 6383 illegal downloads and rising! Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls : 6160 illegal downloads and rising! Twinspirits - The Music That Will Heal The World: 5059 illegal downloads and rising! Seventh Wonder - Waiting In The Wings : 4942 illegal downloads and rising! * Sun Caged - Artemisia: 4920 illegal downloads and rising! Seventh Wonder - Become : 2757 illegal downloads and rising! Satyrian - Eternitas : 2688 illegal downloads and rising! Marco Sfogli - There's Hope : 2653 illegal downloads and rising! * Tears Of Anger - In The Shadows : 2504 illegal downloads and rising! * Section A - Parallel Lives : 1926 illegal downloads and rising! Venturia - Hybrid : 1800 illegal downloads and rising Joe Stump - Virtuostic Vendetta : 1621 illegal downloads and rising! * Tomorrow's Eve - Mirror Of Creation II The Genesis : 1545 illegal downloads and rising! Astra - From Within : 1400 illegal downloads and rising! * Mind's Eye - Walking on H20 : 1345 illegal downloads and rising! * Vitalij Kuprij - Glacial Inferno - 1339 illegal downloads and rising Someone said that we should trace IP addresses of websites that are sharing download links. There are thousands of them, that's just not possible. Just type "Emir Hot" in Google. 70% of the search results are torrent sites  Not to mention some better known musicians. I am actually nobody comparing to other good metal bands. I didn't expect that this topic will have most of "Emir Hot" examples even though I am very affected with this subject. This was about Borislav Mitic who made a statement on Lion Music website and I wanted to hear oppinions on that story. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
