MikeHinNewJersey Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 I just noticed this on the Discogs page for the Don Gardner bootleg of Cheatin Kind, never seen it before. "This release has been blocked from sale in the marketplace. It is not permitted to sell this item on Discogs."
Rocker Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I have quite a few discs for sale on Discogs, today two of them were removed, and that "Blocked" message added to their pages - both were of the "two expensive tracks on one cheap 7"- style reissues. I guess Discogs are weeding out anything that might be considered a bootleg - wonder if this is across the board, or just where the copyright owners enter a complaint? PS my Discogs store is at https://www.discogs.com/seller/Rockerq/profile Edited July 11, 2017 by Rocker forgot to add link
Ted Massey Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 lets hope they are weeding out the boots and carvers
Chalky Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 They are probably weeding out the unofficial releases? Not noticed anything though. Hope this doesn't lead to the unofficial ones getting put in with the official?
Ringleader Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I have had a few removed - all were 12" releases. I think they will start to appear again as official reissues
Jimmy Mack Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 had this with the REDDINGS The Awakening LP it's an official uk release so don't know what the problem with that is
Kris Holmes Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Yes, there has been an industry crackdown, a sign that discogs has now entered the mainstream? Unofficial releases/boots will be getting blocked from the marketplace, you will still see them listed though (since the site was always intended as a discography tool first & the marketplace was an afterthought), over the next while, looks like it has started, many of the "rock boots", TMOQ etc have been blocked in the last week or so.
Pete S Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I've had a dozen removed, those 1960's freakbeat lookalikes - but my shop isn't even open so not that bothered
Benji Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Are the unofficial releases just removed from the Marketplace or from the discographies as well?

Steve G Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 I suspect someone has told them that they are complicit in encouraging the sale of illegal copies or something like that, hence the clampdown.
