    Aussie DJs now need a license to leave the bedroom





    I wonder if this will effect the electronic/underground DJ's or will it be mainly for commercial House/hiphop dj's..

      don't these fucking lawmakers have anything better to do with their time. what about all of us who get tracks from labels given to us? how do you prove that?

            All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

            So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

            1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
            2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
            3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
            4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

            Am I close here?

              this is a piss take right?

              if it's not then it's royally f*cked though on the other hand they have little in the way of enforcing it.

              AND..if they do manage to ping someone, how do they justify the cost of the fine?

                don't they pretty much do the same thing in Italian clubs. where they actually check your cd's.

                  how is checking your cd's going to tell you if a track was paid for, downloaded for free or given to you thru a promo email?

                  its all bul shit, and a way to try to make some easy money for the gubment

                    you apparently have to have the receipts on you for each track.

                            Yeah this pisses me off as well, it's almost like the govt that always tries to find new taxes to get your money. Panicattacks all the around the music industry with the digital formats going round, they're just trying to stay in control of the music which was so much easier when you didn't have downloads and mp3's.

                            On the other hand: dance music scene has always been partially underground with tracks being given out as promos and stuff, there's so much music that hasn't been paid for but given that laws like these make as much sense as slapping my dick into a bowl of yoghurt...
