ATTN: DAVE the Drummer

[Jay Pace]

If the dj is playing entirely creative commons material, its still breaking the terms of the copyright (no commercial gain)

If its copyrighted material, its illegal to distribute it, and is effectively piracy. Even more of a cuntish thing to do is sell it.

This is basically like charging someone for pirated software. Loads of people might give it away for free, but selling it is another level of cuntishness.

Hope he gets prosecuted.

So all these sets are piracy?

http://www.blackoutaudio.co.uk/forum...2010-sets.html

They all contain copyrighted material (the records played by the DJs in the sets), and tho they are not being charged for, they are being distributed by someone who does not own the rights to the records, and who does not pay the artists for being included in the recording.

"If its copyrighted material, its illegal to distribute it, and is effectively piracy."

That would include literally any dj mix you download from BOA or any other source. Is it illegal to download dj sets then?
