bigsteve Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Surely its a rip off. If you legally download a copy and pay for it, why should you then have to pay again. This bit says it all: 'He said the £200 charge was "reasonable", adding: "You don't actually have to DJ using a laptop. You can use vinyl, you can use CD, so we're saying that if it's not worth your while spending £200 then don't do it." ' So you're paying extra for the priviledge of playing a tunes from your laptop :? Seems crazy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Kane Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Is a total disgrace really, record companies tryin to make more cash that they haven't earnt. There was an article in Mixmag last month about it, read somewhere that Adam F (DnB all round tart) wanted to change laws so that producers would receive royalties everytime their tune was played out in a club! How greedy can ya get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Adam F (DnB all round tart) wanted to change laws so that producers would receive royalties everytime their tune was played out in a club! How would that be controlled? Every DJ giving a tracklisting of what they played? Hmmm...actually, I'm liking this idea! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 That ideas been going around for ages I read about it somewhere a few years ago, sounds daft but thats one way of collecting royalties!, it was a case of every clubs should be made to pay royalties or summat!

bigsteve Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Would a whole list of Unknown-Unknown (Unknown) etc get you of the hook?!! No, but it would be in the producers' best interest to bother putting an artist/title on the bloody things, then we'd all know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
