Ive been mixing happy hardcore for a really long time now, i am 15 and cant get a job yet so i have to download all of the tracks from file sharing sites and stuff (Yes i know its bad) when i get a job i will start buying my tracks, but for now what can i do to support the hardcore scene????
(I do have some hardcore vinyl but i can rarely buy it because shipping is to expensive from UK to USA)

If money is an issue maybe sharing new hardcore events/releases (especially by smaller/new artists/labels) on twitter/fb/myspace/bebo/faceparty might be a help.

yeah, sharing information about releases (albums/tunes) and events kinda help to support the scene, if you have enough friends who care.

I'll do a fuller answer later about how you might be able to help out in/with the scene, but just quickly now - you can download well over 500 free, DJ friendly 320 MP3s and WAVs from my website (legally).
Check out these pages:

I don't know if you're into Japanese hardcore, but there are a shitload of free releases from all netlabels like For you Sounds and Prismatic Music if you find music hard to afford. I run my own (Touitsu Recordings) as well. Here is quite a large list of labels with free releases from our J-Core community forum :P

Just a suggestion, I know you're skint but a non-free yet still cheap option (for when you have the money) as well is to buy MP3s from Amazon, as they are still decent quality but much much cheaper then most of the main websites.

What do you mean with supporting the Scene: financially, pushing it forward, bigger reputation?

In my opinion, buying singles should help support the scene, as per track it should give the biggest income, but CD's sells the best still. that is ofcourse, if you can pay :P
But like everyone else says, Spred the word about Hardcore, and either download free tracks, or if any artists are that nice, ask them if it's ok for you to keep the ones you've gotten illegally.

he never does :P
If you have an access to a creditcard (through a parent maybe?) or anything you can connect to paypal, you could always buy a few tracks a month (not to overdo it). Personally, I also started out downloading illegally before I graduated from school and managed to score a credit(debit)-card and ask some of my pirate where I could actualy buy hardcore. I mostly did this because Sweden isn't exactly a rave haven like UK is.
