Earlier today one of BurnLounge’s army of zealots spammed TDMW with a press release entitled ‘Public Enemy’s New Track Exclusively Available on BurnLounge’ yet again demonstrating its questionable conduct in the music industry by trying to associate Public Enemy as an entire act with their dodgy service.

Closer examination reveals that the track available on BurnLounge is by Professor Griff, with no involvement at all by core band members Chuck D., Flava Flav, DJ Lord or Terminator X. Not to take anything away from Professor Griff, but anyone with a passing knowledge of Public Enemy knows that his primary role is about managing the hype not writing the music.

EXTRA, EXTRA - Burnlounge is still a scam. Check out the Google ranks for “burnlounge review”

Result #1: MLM…Exactly!

If you look at the rest of the search results, it looks like BL has launched a full-on PR campaign meant to address the complaints from sites like this one. Farming articles out to directories and soliciting favorable reviews - what a bunch of crooks!
BL is STILL the Amway of music.

There is no indy spirit here, just exploitation. Hey BL, if you were serious about music advocacy, you’d offer the service for free. Don’t rely on subscription fees as a capital base.
