Record Rights?

Hey all,
when I buy a 12", what am I allowed to do with it? Am I buying the rights to publicly perform it (of course I am)? Can I broadcast it? Can I be paid to perform/broadcast? Can I record it into a mix which I then sell?

How does copyright work for DJs?

Thanks!

you "gotta pay royalties when you braudcast". and to record it on a cd is bootleagin it. i know it sucks but every dj is a criminal. weve all made mixtapes.

no no no...

its only illegal if you do it for profit. if you sell your mixtape to recoup costs of production, its not illegal...or @ least thats what I believe it is

and give proper credit. ie tracklist.

I can�t speak for any other countries, but in the UK, you are allowed to store a recording you have brought in any format whatsoever for backup purposes. So when you buy your 12� there�s nothing to stop you putting it on a tape or CD. It only becomes illegal if you give these tapes cd�s, mp3�s or whatever to someone who hasn�t brought a form of the original recording or you sell them to someone.

Honestly though I wouldn�t worry about making Demo CD�s and Tapes. It�s not this sort of thing the authorities are worried about, it�s the large scale pirating organizations that they�re interested in.
