How does being a DJ work legally?

[Kaon]

soz!

antlers....rough
shitting out one of them would be pretty metal

Not that this conversation carried over from another topic...

But anyway. I don't know how must trust I put in charts and what have you.
And it still doesn't answer my question.

How are there not lawsuits flying left and right?

[Lambox]

alright lets end the banter about the disgusting stuff.

Sorry. Kaon started it though.

Do producers want DJ's to use their tracks? Okay dumb question.

Personally, I wouldn't care if someone was using my tracks. Popularity points, really. And eventually that all can't hurt...

Hey Lambox, this is kinda of old, but you'll get the idea...

lol, jesc posted the same article i was posting. =^P

[Kaon]

mod wars! :eek:

[Lambox]

(Odd that you both posted the same thing).

But yeah not to play that down or anything, but that's just one person. And even though I've never heard of him, I guessing he's pretty well known. Also I doubt most DJs make enough money to pay for "four vehicles."

For the most part though, it seems like DJ's who are "Regionally well known" get away with this all the time...

resisting urges to continue :P

@jesC-interesting article, not surprising i guess, would once you get the bigwigs in the mix all hell breaks loose

Well, as you do doubt read in the article...

While the mixtape/DJ mix is not legal, per say, most labels just tend to look the other way as a valuable promotional tool.
