Hi,
This is my first message on this forum. I just wanted to say everyone hi and ask a question to DJs. I wonder if it is legal to put your mixes on your website although you don't own the rights to the music you mixed.

Thank you.

P.S: I dont mean selling it on the net, just for promotion.

From The Anjunabeats Website,

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.

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!

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

there are 4 magic words that must accompany any mix you distribute

"for promotional use only"

as long as you're not profiting from your mix and just distributing it as promotional use it's ok

Isn't this now contrary to what Dj Macarius said?

however, the prs doesn't have juresdition (sp?) over here in canada...
or was it pps...

or maybe i'm just cockeyed...

either way, i'm sure there's differences as you cross borders, you're going to want to look a little more deeply into local laws

it says you can on radio or in club (coz they have licenses)...
