digital djs

[dan the acid man]

This is just another bit of pressure from the majors who want your money because they think they are entitled to it regardless if you buy their records or not.
Where did they come up with the 200 quid figure? Did they consult the vast DJ community at all?
Do they even understand the scene in any way, or is it just finance people making these dumb decisions?
What about free tracks?
What about digital promo`s you have been given by X producer?
How will they enforce this?
What about Ableton PA`s? I`ve heard that they count as Digital DJing.

I think it's quite obvious that this licence has been concieved with "wedding DJs" in mind, but will be enforced across the board to maximise revenue. If they can get away with it.

That said, I don't think it will take much more than a couple of test cases for the whole concept to be taken apart in court by any competent IP lawyer.

it's still laughable
