    Default fees and licensing

    I am just getting into the DJ business and doing jobs for local people. Is there any specific licensing or fees that I need to pay as a DJ playing music when I get to these events? I would be doing stuff for school dances, proms, weddings, and other various events if that means anything to this question.

    As far as i am aware, any such fees, if applicable at all, are the responsibility of the venue, not performer.

    In the UK if you use a laptop you are 'supposed' to have a ProDub license which allows you to use copies of MP3s if they are copied from CD or duplicated from downloads or backups etc.

    I live in Montana and bounce between the area surrounding Greatfalls and attend college down in Bozeman.
