Skank Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 i agree with you about the song stealing 100% from my experience you need 320kb or wav format to have the best sounding tunes on a club system and you can allways tell some one who has a jacked bootleg so the performance is lower then those who pay for there tracks. Do u still spin the wax Quote
DjDennis Posted September 27, 2008 Author Posted September 27, 2008 havent since 1999/2000 as I went to all CD'sno computers as its still illegal in Australiaand will be for some time till either the ppca or mipi decide to allow us to use themCanada is the only country in the world allowed to use mp3's on the job periodanyone caught in australia ... well lets just hope that person can say uncle in jail...

tramonte Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 thats for sure - but at present its all the cheap fly by night limewire stealing Dj's that have NO idea what they are doing and after the event the person hiring themNEVER hire a Dj again because of itsorry I feel very passionatly when Dj's that think there Dj's STEAL musicTruthfully I think these days people are realising that you can't use limewire etc. files as they are sh*t quality, all the Dj's i know get their stuff from legitimate online stores, again is there any difference in play a song off a computer, or just burn that same song to a cd and your sweet?EDITED, will put in a PM Quote
DjDennis Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 tramonte then looks like you are one that could be targeted (they do that as well even when you legit!!)the MIPI are watching all boards to do with Djingthe best thing is to be very carefull on how you tell that you are illegal you never know who is a client and who is a mipi agentread in the begginers section on a topic about copyright and i'll help dj's get licences so they are legal not illegalso do you have a Dj licence ?these guys didnt and see what happen to them:*ADDED NEWS* (from March 11th 2005)This is to add on what's been happening in Australia with actual prosecutions.Dj's to pay damages for copyright breachesTwo Sydney Dj's and a record company have been ordered to pay at least $500,000 in damages for illegally using songs on compilation CD's. In 2002, Dj Christopher Fraser Smith, also known as Criss Kross, put out several dance compilation CD's through his company Tower Records. But the Federal Court has found he and the DJ who mixed the CDs, Peter Ferris or peeweeferris, knew they did not have copyright clearance for a number of the tracks. Smith and Tower Records has been ordered to pay $450,000 and Ferris has been ordered to pay $50,000 in damages to several Record Companies. Justice Jacobson found that threatening text messages was sent by Smith to different people who would not grant copyright, called for a very large penalty. The amount of damages to be paid for the actual sale of the CDs is yet to be calculated. Coutesy of ABC News -- www.abc.net.au/news Quote
tramonte Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 for real...as i said i have never played out.I still want to know how playing on a computer is different from me burning the songs from THAT computer to a cd is not illegal.fk it i'll send ya a PM. Quote
Blodders Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 those are published and distributed compilations you are referring to. and have nothing to do with what you where talking about above it.as of yet the RIAA in America's the most militant of the recording associations is yet to successfully sue any one for file sharing. they have tried a lot of cases yet all have failed.

RhemyD Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 havent since 1999/2000 as I went to all CD'sno computers as its still illegal in Australiaand will be for some time till either the ppca or mipi decide to allow us to use themCanada is the only country in the world allowed to use mp3's on the job periodanyone caught in australia ... well lets just hope that person can say uncle in jail...Why do you say that using computers is illegal? The PPCA now has a broader liscening classifications for the use of digital media. As far as I'm concered we fall into a tarrif F classification. A computer running DJ software is still classified as a discotheque unit. As for ARIA you can purchase a blanket liscence that covers the convergence of cd's to MP3's. So I would like to know why you are saying that it is illegal to use computers in the industry. There are several big name DJ companies that do it. Elite, Somers, Vegas Promotions... I think someone needs to back up there statement with facts! Quote
RhemyD Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 yeah i just realised i may have stirred the pot so to speak... didnt realise dennis was so high strung... IN EVERY THREAD! but, moving along. How many people are on here that are serious about mobile? Quote
