Downloading livesets are not illegal are they? Tranceaddict has livesets for download, is it by consent of the dj? I work at a radio station and we record our live sets and for promotion give them to listeners if they request.
BTW, if it is not illegal where can I find PVD live sets? particularly live at club O 2000.
thanx |

Good question. I don't know full specifics but I would think it would depend on the DJ (especially those who are VERY unhappy with their sets being taped for whatever reason). Sites like hybridized.org are keen to work and cooperate in tandem with the artists to expose their music to ears, fully authorized! Great stuff if you ask me. And a lot of the links here are to perfectly fine streaming sites and the artists' own official sites. So it depends.
Other details, folks :)? |

Technically yes it is illegal beacuse of the musical content and the associated licensing/permission (or lack of)
There was another thread on this some time back. |

its a bit of a legal sess pit, technically yes but no-one cares that much because a) the club pays for a license to play music to the public anyway, so no-body is losing any money from it, and b)its not as if you get full tracks that you can pirate (unless you get someone making a 'reconstruction' which in turn is quite illegal)
btw its got nothing to do with the dj unless the set contains his/her own work. besides, most dj's want their sets to be pushed around a little, its extremely good promotion. |

It is true what you said about most DJs having their work circulated. The obvious exception that comes to mind would have to be those more "private" parties where exclusive tracks are aired and they leak out or something... and the DJ goes "grrr, back to the drawing... er... mixing board!"
My bias comes from my enjoyment of hybrid DJ/artist sets like Zabiela or BT where they really add their own personal touch to the whole mix in some way.
I thought the nature of "reconstruction" was a foggy one, at least in some countries... for example, the much-disputed reconstruction of "Knights of the Jaguar" of UR sometime back?

| i always thought it was like a rock band doing a cover... its live in concert and no money made off it so you cant charge for it... and its good promotion for the band being covered... |

| Everyone keeps saying that sets are pefrectly legal but I really doubt their knowledge of law. I think that there's a big chance of this being technically illegal. |

This is a tough one because I have some sets that just wow me and I really sets more than albums. But then again you don't always get your tracks you want but there not for sale so the artist loses no money. Plus people get to check them out before they actully go and see his/her favorite DJ.
Yeahnsets are not even for sale
So yeah keep downloading them sets :D |

In the United States, any original material is technically copyrighted weather or not the author expressly recognizes that copyright. In this sense, yes copying livesets (except for certain exceptions such as "fair use"), is illegal if it is not by means allowed by the author.
Does this hold up in court? No. But the legality is: sharing livesets is illegal. |
