    Copyright laws are different for each country. Google copyright for you country also look up digital copyrights. Here in the UK there’s the ProDub licence which is robbery as a DJ with a digital collection copied from CD’s or Vinyl would have to pay; 20,000 tracks would be about £400 and it denys you the the ability to mix as you can not change the recording in any way. Mixing one track with another would be classed as changing the context on the music. Crazy! Clubs and bars here have licences to play music so we’re covered there but ProDub is a seperate licence based on how many tracks you (the DJ) have stored, so even though you’ve paid for it you have to pay again to use it if you transfer it to a hard drive.

    Here’s some of the exclusion of use:
    (b) making any adaptation or arrangement of the music and/or
    alteration of the lyrics of any Repertoire Work;
    (c) using music with lyrics other than those written to be used with the
    music or authorised for use with the music;
    (d) using lyrics with music other than that written to be used with the
    lyrics or authorised for use with the lyrics;
    (e) carrying out of any sampling (meaning the taking of part of the
    music and/or lyrics of a Repertoire Work and incorporating such part into
    another Repertoire Work) or the distribution or reproduction in the form of
    a sample of such part of a Repertoire Work

    Talk about kill the DJ! There’s a DJ here, that you’ll find if you search ProDub who’s a proud owner of his licence. Make’s me wonder what kind of DJ he is, I guess he just moves the crossfader over after each track has finished

    whatever happended to learning all this stuff yourself?

    I know the modern media we have gives instant access to all the answears at the click of a button but the amount of dj’s out that have gained knowledge from being told how to do things rather than learning it for themselves is for me very disheartening. This is why i beleive the crop of djs that started before the internet gained mass appeal to be a lot better than now. (massive generalisation I know)

    its can be daunting stepping into the world of dj’ing but please have that pioneering spirit guys try things for yourselves before asking, you could suprise yourselves.

    I guess you taught yourself everything about everything, didn’t bother going to school, didn’t need help growing up
    What’s wrong with asking questions are you affraid the master will become the pupil. If some one ask a question about anything and I can offer advice I don’t mind giving an answer. You can show some one the path to being a DJ and how you DJ but the art of DJaying is something they have to a) have a real passion for b) master for themselves
