Hello again! If you’re reading this on the day it goes live then you already know we are just a few short hours from the start of the last weekend in April. We have been trying our best to work hard throughout the afternoon, but every time we look out the window and see Spring finally starting to show itself we have to fight the urge to break a window and run to the nearest park. You’ve been there, right?
Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you. If you have any questions about the content of this post, or if you are interested in learning more about the secure music distribution services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.
This week at Haulix HQ we spent a lot of our time focusing on the upcoming launch of our automated DMCA Takedown Notification system. It’s likely that we are still a couple weeks away from launch, but we are moving closer to going live with each passing day. We do not have specifics on pricing information just yet, but once live this tool will scan the net for clients’ files and automatically issue perfectly-worded DMCA Takedown Notices without you (the client) having to do anything at all.
Outside of DMCA Takedowns and our efforts to put piracy to an end, we also took a good chunk of the week to examine our current email efforts. Brainstorming has begun on how we can better serve our clients in this way, but plans for the future are nowhere near ready for public consumption. When the time comes we’ll let you know.
As far as the blog is concerned, the past seven days have without a doubt been our most active to date. We had a big discussion on photo pit etiquette, walked through the DMCA Takedown process, and waved goodbye to our ‘My Life As A Music Pirate’ series with a one of the world’s only interviews with a confirmed pirate. In case you missed anything, here is a full list of this week’s content:

Journalism Tips #11: ‘Considering The World Before Social Media’
In addition to creating these columns we also spent a lot of this week planning what we’re tentatively calling ‘Year 2.’ This blog turns one in June and we plan to roll out a variety of new content to help kick things off right.
Well, that is all we have to share for now. Make this weekend the best of 2014 so far, but please don’t do anything that puts you or the people around you in danger. It’s all fun and jokes until someone sets the house on fire, as they say.
Have a great day, everyone. We’ll be back tomorrow with an all-new ‘Journalism Tips.’
