I don't think they just look at the title of the song.Quote:

What about promo's i am on 7 promo lists and not all of them give you certificates or proof of download, how could they tell they wernt pirated music
There trying it already. The first paper I wrote was about a case coming up in the Supreme Court: Vernor V. Autodesk. It's one interesting story that involves computer software but it has far reaching implications. Basically the argument is that you don't buy the software you buy a license for that software. Therefore you have no rights to resell it to anyone even thou you own a physical box with CDs in an a legitimate activation code. There's a lot more to the arguments on both sides that I won't bore you with. If this does pass the courts for whatever reason it creates a landslide effect where companies can start selling licenses to your things instead of actual copies.Quote:

Well if you think you'll ever be in one of those sticky situations ...You could always use a Truecrypt container for your Itunes folder
OR
Create a decoy&hidden OS
naming doesnt matter, the file structure would probably be determined by wave analysis, like they do with youtube / shazam / soundhound / soundcloud, etc.
the more they use that algorithm, the better it gets at picking up bits and pieces of songs to identify and confirm what they are and where theyre from.
haha! they encourage anonymous tipsters! awesome...Quote:

Oh, and I was looking at that Truecrypt thing. Absolutely mad! They keep talking about being extorted by adversaries. I'd feel invincible if I was using this thing!
(I think it's mainly supposed to be used for pr0n)
In the US, I've never heard of anyone being shut down for playing pirated music. It would be practically impossible to ever prove, as people have noted, because you could've just ripped the CD.
As far as licensing goes, all venues have to pay ASCAP and BMI for licensing on music. It's a yearly fee dependent on occupancy and it covers them for any music that's played. Even if it's a coffeehouse that only has singer-songwriters playing acoustic guitar, you still have to have the licenses in the event that someone strums out a few bars of John Mayer.
It is illegal to rip music from ur cd to computer without a licence. You can rip it to another cd once using a cd duplicator, or make analoge copies of it, ie record or tape.Quote:

You do not have to proove you have bought ur music and where from. However if you have not got a licence and a inspector asks you where did u get the music from and you say, oh i ripped them from cds they will take you to court for not having a licence to do so. Just say you downloaded them
In the UK the soliciters that where taking people to court for the record companies have now gone out of business, due to poor evidence and loosing alot of private information. Quite an interesting story if any1 wants the link il dig it out. Got the full case details if any1 is really interested. This is why they are now trying to get isp's to cut people off or at least threaten to.
I have never seen an audit and they are not allowed to interfere with business. So if your djing in a busy club they cant say hey we need to audit you, also if you say you have private information on ur laptop they would need a warrent. Also I dont actually think this happens as evidence would have to be taken in accordance with the acpo guide lines that just aint gona happen in a club.
this is mainly to do with mobile djs grassing on each other. then they could get a warrent and take the equipment for ferensic analysis. evidence taken in a club would never stand up in court as soon as they touch ur device or turn it on they have altered info on your harddrive so it would just get thrown out.
these big settlements are laughable. proper encription on your harddrive and they wont get in without booting windows and if they do that the evidence is worthless.
these scare mongering taktics are a joke. I buy most my music but i do steal some. like the tracks ean puts up dor comps on the front page
