Re: Legal question about DJing

Hi, i searched all around and didn't find any answers at all (google search, forum search, the usual drill..), so it goes like this:
i have been buying tracks through audiojelly and beatport for the last six months now and figured i should keep the receipts in my case for anyone inquiring, like print out all of them and put it in some envelope or something... anyway, beatport's receipts are all nice and neat and you can see exactly what tracks has been bought, but in the audiojelly receipts they don't show you anything but the price paid...
so i was wondering is it necessary? i know here in Israel nobody gives a shit about this stuff, but when flying around and playing at different countries are there places where they do check that sort of things? also, i am just regarding DJs using burned CDs, not laptops and such...
BTW if there was such a thread before sorry i didn't find it, and a nice link to that thread will be nice too |
Actually there was a thread about this a while back, but can't find it now.
I wouldn't worry too much as you have the receipts and it's not your fault audiojelly have a crap receipts system. you can prove you paid for you tracks and that's all that will count.
This is not much of big deal - I really think they are after people who do this in large numbers (pirates, illegal websites etc.) and it's not worth their time in the big picture to go after the odd DJ with a couple of hundred illegal downloads.
....however, there is one story that springs to mind, where they were basically making an example of this guy to send a scare through the industry. It was blatently pushed by the RIAA or PRS (or similar) to try to send a message and he was an idiot, but none the less, the guy got seriously fucked:
