Hey DJTT,
I was just curious, is it legal to play blogged music in gigs. I currently use it in my mixes at my house, but was unsure if I was able to bring it to others.
Thanks,
SS

Two words : Yarrrrrrrr and NO
Unless the blog publishes creative commons content or they have explicit permissions from the artists then its 99% likely to be what we call "Blog House" aka shitty quality illegal rips.

Pirated music is pirated music
Doesn't matter if you play it out or not and it's not like DJing with pirated music is "extra against the law"
Also is there a way to tell if a specific blog has certain rights or artists permissions.
If they are offering free downloads of tracks that are for sale on beatport, you can assume they probably don't have permission.
Most of the blogs that do have permission make sure that you know. Check the about page, alot of times they'll tell you there. Take for example thissongslaps.com , it takes submissions from independant djs who want to get there name out there (alot of really good stuff on this one), it also has a couple less than legal songs so the best thing you can do is be careful and research. If you google the song and it's not available for sale on beatport, itunes, or another place where you purchase music, then it's probably some sort of indie music that was released for free. Hope this helps.
Well of course, but if they claim to have exclusives, new releases, or even permissions from the artists, and I dig and am unable to find said exclusive anywhere. Is there a way I can validate the claim of the website?
