Despite what many think of his songs, his persona and ego seems to be given to causing a ruckus and waves of contempt in everything that he does.
First of all, if you happen to play at a show before him, you are not allowed to use the Ableton Live software to play music. Read what happened to maximum01. Why would it matter if you happen to use the same audio looping software as him? Is he afraid of being showed up by someone better than him?
Next is the whole fiasco with Fruity Loops. Apparently, there are some royalty free loops and samples from his song Faxing Berlin in the Fruity Loops studio software. He made such a big stink about it and claimed that Fruity Loops stole his music. The company has now pulled all samples and melodic content from their software. Read more over at Create Digital Music.
Why would such a guy care about anything like that? If he never intended to get into creating electronic dance music in the first place, it should not be that big of a deal to him. He apparently seems to care only about making money and building up his own ego.
I don't even want to discuss the many articles and discussion boards that are talking about his comments and thoughts about dj's. Read them for yourself. Just use the terms 'hate', 'dj' and his name in the search phrase.
If he truly cared about the music, the people and the vibe that he creates, he would embrace the open, united, and collective culture that is everyone in the music scene today. He is just riding the wave for his own selfish benefit. Yes he can make a track or two, but I will never go to see him hit the play button on Ableton, pay for one of his tracks, or buy a cd of only his own songs.

Hai, this is so true ... I thought this guy was cool you know ... until I read the artists comments about FlStudio, A piece of well known pwnage software that is 1,000,000,000x better than him or his music.
I dont understand how someone who has is living the dream I so want, has all this money (Im Not In It For The Money) and a pathetic Ego could be such a miserable ??? .COCK. ??? ... And I hope he reads this ... He needs to know that we hate him :)
Well I do ... What A Twat !
the fool is blowing peoples minds hes in it for the trip. thats what does now. he makes u trip and thats fine by me i love him no homo. but u gotta be trippin to make this shit so he is in fact probably just trippin out
people all hating cause hes becomin more mainstream and has outrageous outburst of people jacking his shit. i dont care its called loyalty his music is all i care about
Aight I've been a die hard Mau fan ever since i saw him at the '09 Ultra Fest. in Miami. And you all wanna know why ppl fall in love with him? It aint cuz of his, personality, sense of humor or any of this bullshit crap you all've been talkin bout.
IT'S THE FUCKIN MUSIC
Plain and short. I mean it aint like we know the guy like a fuckin bff, and jus cuz he's had outbursts and such doesn't mean he aint amazing, and i know most of you will agree with that. The man's talented. And name a celeb that hasnt had a slip up, it's just what ppl wanna know bout, you know? Build up to break down.
And also i met him after his For Lack Of Better Name concert back here at the denver ogden with some friends outside a 7/11. And he was chill, didn't talk long of course but my friend gave him his hat to keep and he seemed to appreciate it. wasn't rude or nothin. i think you got him all wrong.
But remember we go to concerts and buy albums for the music, this other shit really shouldn't matter. till like he starts huntin whales or clubbin baby seals or somethin ha
