sharkeys threat???
I'm kinda interested too.
nothing gets past you guys,
even 3 month long multi-forum gang rapes.
I've been busy following the the Korean music industry. Care to elaborate?
no one is too busy, unless you where fapping.
Let's just say that Sharkey wasn't too happy about the Zonkers thing (even if the project was deemed dead, he had to make a post about legal action).

Quite sure "zonkers" the name or concept was not the issue as it is perfectly legal in the UK to parody anything, the issue was the unlicensed track list.

no mate I've been studying hard for my Licensing Law qualification which I've passed and qualified and now in the process of getting my Personal Licence...
I wouldn't worry too much about share mate... if he did take u too court about the zonkers thing over the tracks I'm sure if u did enough digging over the years I'm sure you'll find some tracks or elements of tracks that break some laws... its hardcore... its full of illegal track making....

The tracklist was the issue with Al Storm, Bishop and a couple of others.
I maintain that it was just a series of mixes with atwork dubbed as a free album. No different to any other mix really. Its still just a big MP3 of mixed files.
Al Storm feared that the mix would grow too popular and damage the release of his own album project. Thats why I kept asking the question are mixes illegal? Apparently they are because making them downloadable is a form of file sharing. Yet artists just pick and choose which ones to block.
Sharkey had an issue with the name and artwork. He felt it infringed Bonkers and so on. It was meant to be a spoof, a fun take on the old Bonkers series because AATW have ****ed it up and the old cartoon versions of the Bonkers albums are centimental of the hardcore we love and miss. Again, I maintain that fair use should have come into play, and that while I used the creative style and logo etc, it was a free project and stuff. I read into allot about it before going ahead. However, when Sharkey replied, I wasnt willing to contest.
I dont regret Zonkers though. The artwork that I did for it looked fantastic in my Graphic Design Portfolio which was instrumental in getting me accepted into university! woohoo!
edit: Wilkys post made me chuckle. Hardcore itself is very hypocritical. Everyones fast enough to denounce filesharing, when mixing is filesharing, sampling is illegal, bootlegging and selling those is illegal.... so on so forth. Its a very big joke in my opinion. Hardcore bigs its self up as a big rebellious scene that ****s smokes and gets high, throws knives at hotel room walls, head banging to gabber or whatever, but you cant fileshare, or do a spoof album. Nope, thats wrong. But everything else is fine.
