interesting responses, seems to me that its worth the remix and worth sending it out to dj's.

if by any chance the label were to come across the remix, see that it has been played at clubs, and that the remix done quite a nice job at representing the original track itself...

then i really doubt they will take any negative action, but rather acknowledge the exposure that they are getting via other genres/crowds

glad to have cleared my mind about it, thank you guys

If you look at the fine print on the label of a lot of records, there will be a note on there that says something like "public performance prohibited with out the express written content of whoever publishing." There are many reasons DJ's do not get in trouble for this.

They do not get in trouble because the organising company pays the fees to organisations suchs as ASCAP (USA), BMI (usa), BUMA/STEMRA (Netherlands) and SABAM (Belgium) which are required for public perfomance (parties/compilation cd's/radio/tv etc). These organisations transfer the money to their affiliated artists (or to the other organisations) minus the overhead & registration costs.

technically, mixing one tune into another is remixing right? so isn't that illegal? all djs do this unless you're a "high school dance" type.

No.

In a roundabout sort of way I guess that is true. I think it is generally understood that a remix is definied as:

To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording.

Taken in the literal sense, I guess you could call DJing remixing, but I think at that point you are just differing in semantics. Generally most people do not consider DJing "remixing".

Oh ok, that makes sense. I was not aware of that. Thanks for letting me know. I apologize if I misled anyone with my previous post. I was misinformed.

if you want to get technical yeah probably, but honestly do whatever you want. you're not going to have any trouble. bootlegs gets played on air and passed around all the time in promotion...doesn't seem to be a problem.

just don't sell them.

No problem, overall the music business is way too complicated. Too many rights and money involved. For every kind of fee there is another company, for each country...
