Beatport: "We're not bluffing"

In an effort to crack down on chart boosting services, Beatport delivered a strong message via their blog, here's an excerpt: 

"In response, we monitor our charts daily, looking for anomalies. We’ve built and continue to improve upon technology to prevent chart-boosting efforts. We’re not saying we’ve succeeded or will succeed every time, but we’re getting better at it every day.

When we spot a boosted record or track, we remove it from the store, and we’ll continue to do so. Our next step is to permanently ban the offending artists and labels. And we’re not bluffing." 

Well done, 100% support.
