when u buy a tune, do u ask artist permission before playing it out in a club, or including it in an online mix?

Theres always that text line on the center innit, 'all rights reserved, public performance / distribution prohibited'.

I'm about to start playin out with tunes I've bought, but where do I stand in this respect, whats the general consensus.

peace..

I always though Dub Police was a bit too strong about this "ya have a license for dem dubs?" But maybe they're just trying to be funny?

What a silly question. You seriously don't know the answer to that one?

When I get 'em for free (320) I ask tho.

When you buy a song outright you generally have the right to play it out at a gig or in a mix that you are giving out for free. That text for the most part tends to be for radio and airplay - where things need to be cleared before playing - this does not exactly apply for pirate radio type stations though.

another related question would be, do any DJ's report their playlists to the clubs so that the royaltie fees the venues pay end up going to relevant artists?

cede · Post by **cede** » Mon Aug 27, 2007 6:46 am

That would all depend on the type of club. There are a lot of clubs that do not pay royalties because they operate under the rader, or deal with less commercial forms of music.

OMG are u really serious!!!!! am i awake and reading this question properly?

would u ask 50 cent personally to play his tunes in a club? NO, the same applies here, and the legal shit on the labels is for the likes of big time record companies putting the tune on mix cds i.e a ministry of sound dubstep cd

anyway

lol

In theory I'm pretty sure you are supposed to. And the venues should be registered with the relevant royalties collecting bodies. In practice I think this very rarely happens however. I've certainly never come across anyone whose had to do this.

but re online mixes:

Does generally no one mind their tunes being included in mixes held on this forum, or on DJ's websites etc... ??

As long as the tunes are acquired legally and the mixes aren't charged for, I don't see why this would be a problem. It's just free promotion at that point anyway.

When I organised a drum&bass party some time ago in Belgium, I (in my role of organiser) had to pay the Sabam (i.e. the Belgian Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers) and provide them with the playlist of every DJ. The DJ's didn't have to pay for anything.

Also, as Sand Leaper said, make sure that all your tunes are acquired legally. I've heard many stories of guys being busted for playing illegal mp3's using e.g. Serato Scratch
