As long as you've paid for all of the tunes, and you don't require people to pay to download your mix, you're fine.

From Anjunabeats Forum

quote:
1. It is illegal to distribute/download mixtapes on the internet that contain songs that are copyrighted. Websites like BBC Radio1 have a PRS license that means that for every download the creators of the music featured get compensated for the listens. If these mixes get distribute by individuals, the creators of the great music do not get what they deserve. We here at Anjunabeats have not invented the law and can not allow any illegal activity on this website.

2. We are not trying to stop budding DJs from spreading their sound, but the right means are to get exposure in clubs and radio stations that are covered by licenses to do so. This means that mean the makers of the great music they play get compensated and can make even more great music.

3. Please respect the people who make the music you love to play: after all they made it all. Find the right, legal channels to get the message across. This may make it a bit harder but if you have what it takes, the world is your oyster!

so there you go.
