    If you get anything out of playing them (money, girls, burgers, drinks) you exchange service against payment which is a commercial trade. Meaning: No, pal, you should not use them.

    But: Most of CC-authors (not only music-related) agree on using their stuff if you ask them beforehand, or maybe they want you to make visible it is theirs (e.g. lay out flyers telling “venue music produced by cc-monkeybananaboy”).
    They’re usually open to deals. If not, do not use them.

    (there may be differentiation how exactly the cc-rights are to be treated, but in general…)

    Papa Bear, thanks for your answer. It’s really difficult to track which track is under what kind of CC-license. But I will take care not to put noncommercial ones into my DJ iTunes library.

    I have yet to hear of anyone being given any kind of grief for playing such music in public. Call me a vagabond, but I would never not play a tune in a set just because it was CC.

    Thanks for you reply. Some songs are just too good to not play. Also who does not want his own song to be played in a club?
