It sort of all depends on who holds the rights to the music, and what they allow. Some music can't be played in public without consent, most music can't be distributed freely without express consent, so a liveset full of copyrighted stuff could constitute piracy.
But its up to someone to care, or want to stop it really. If nobody has a problem with djs playing stuff in public, and livesets floating around with their material, its a little irrelevant what the letter of the law dictates.
