This has been brought up countless times. There is no special SVU: DJ Unit going around checking to see if you have the paperwork to back up all that you bought all your tunes. It is understood though that it is the proper thing to do. If your getting paid then the producers of the music you are playing should be also. It's not that expensive if you think the average controller costs 200-600 dollars and that's just the middle of the road units. I don't even want to think about how much money I spend on gear. It's massive compared to what I spend on tunes, but I do spend the money to buy mine.

If you have a collection of 5k+ tunes what are you going to do with all that? It's nice to have stuff if someone makes a request but if I wanted to hear people's requests all day I would goto a place with a jukebox.

Everyone always brings up some story of "did you hear about so and so? They yanked him off stage and told him to produce paperwork for every MP3 on his computer or they were going to kill his grandmother" or some random BS like that. It's all stories that are perpetuated through the internet.

If you ever want to get paid for doing what you do then do the right thing and give to those that make it possible.

You are fine in the U.S. No one has ever been sued for DJing with pirated music and it would be difficult to prove if it is or isn't.

The only way you could get in trouble for pirating music is if you are caught downloading or uploading it through a filesharing client.

I can't speak for how things work in the rest of the world but if there have been cases of people getting into trouble overseas it would be interesting to read.
