Good for you. If you'd been around for a bit you'd notice that there isn't a flyer in existence with "dj bas" written on it. It's campy and tripe and just down right lame.

ummmm ok..... good idea thanks, unfortunately that would not work in this case.

Originally posted by BLOWZO Lets say your name is DJ Whatever (not literally) and you are doing your thing. Then all of a sudden a little birdy comes along and points out that there is another DJ Whatever located in Whereverville but is on the DJ List.... Do you need to change your name? Do they need to change theirs? Do you just pretend you never saw this? Any help here with legal, and morale issues would be appreciated.. my friend DJ Whatever is heartbroken right now

DJs can overlap names all the time. The key is if you get a record deal or start producing/selling...only then it's first come, first serve. All others have to change the name. If everyone is doing it for fun, then there is no problem.

Take Hybrid for example, they named themselves that in the mid 90's. Then Linkin Park comes along, and wants to name themselves Hybrid, but they can't since Hybrid took it already, so they have to change thier name to Linkin Park.

Same with The Chemical Brothers / Dust Brothers thing.

I guess it depends on a few things one... who you are.. and how good you are. For instance. I see DJ Dan's name in a lot more places then yours, however your point is made when you look at the rest of the top 10 w/o the "DJ" in the title...

That being said this is NOT what the topic was about...

Over.. and ...out!

For the record, Blowzo, someone's forum name is more often than not not their DJ name.

I think it's exactly what the topic is about. Your friend shouldn't worry if some other tool has the name "DJ ____", he should just drop the "DJ" title altogether.
