well for my english course, we were given a little simple project to do. below is an example
(example) TOPIC - the recent rise in violent among teenages.
(example) Comment - can be traced to their widespread unsupervised use of violent video games
so i needed to come up with something similar to the above so i decided house music/DJ-ing. under comments are arguments defending DJ-ing. (my prof argued with me about DJ-ing, and the point of this exercise is to come up with arguments defending DJ-ing since its what i choose to write) the title thread was given by my professor which motivated me to think of ideas to defend it and so i have listed some below.
FEEL FREE TO PUT YOUR 2 CENTS ON IT.
Topic
DJ's are entertainers who throws a show for people, not steal other peoples hard earned work.
Comments
1. It's legit for DJ's to spin other people songs as long as the DJ's don't claim it as their own. For example, DJ's are not selling and or making a profit of any sort from other peoples work.
2. when a DJ spins somebody else music, they are marketing another artist product which would increase the original artist/producers sales rather than the person(DJ) playing the song at the club who doesn't profit.
3. no Honest DJ would every claim a song of someone elses is his. He plays it because he likes the song, and thinks others will enjoy it
4. the artist is paid a royalty for every time said tracks or albums are purchased. The club pays a licensing fee so they can play whatever type of music they want in there without it turning into a "you played my song, I'm going to sue you"
5. The song being played at the club has no bearing on the artists income. In fact, the song being played has increased the income for the original artist If the song is good enough to get the crowds attention.
IF you understand where this is going then feel free to drop your 2 cents on to this. just a sentence. now off the records i don't know if it is illegal. maybe to the IRS unless clubs are putting people on a payroll and receiving checks every 2 weeks. but yeah this is just an assignment and i wanted to see if anyone wanted to add on anything to it b4 i submit it tomorrow
