What does PvD use his laptop for?
I saw PvD at Amnesia and for his whole set he had a laptop computer powered up next to the main decks. It seemed like he was looking at it pretty much every song.
I'm curious... What does he use this for?

I find it hard to believe that PVD himself would undercut the music industry and start using final scratch! I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it.

it's not undercutting, if he plays his own "reworks" and remixes on CDR that are unreleased. in fact it's not undercutting if he simply takes all the rare promo CDs and vinyls he must get sent, rips em to MP3, loads em up on a laptop for ease of storage.
and in fact, it's not undercutting even if he went and downloaded something some release group made, and played it live to thousands of screaming fans. The producer who made the track would probably thank him for it in fact, as it would make the track super popular due to PVDs reputation.

How is it undercutting if hes playing songs that arent released on record or CD?
When I went to G&D @ Arc in NYC, they were playing all CD-R's, does that make them bad people for not going out and buying records, no, because everything they were playing were original tracks which didnt exist on record, 1 of which was the Markus Schulz Coldharbour Remix of ATRC. Of course they can always press a vinyl, but why carry the baggage?
Until you find someone playing Cafe del Mar on CD-R or Final Scratch, than you can bash away.
