Totally agree with Mandarin’s last comment…who care’s what medium the music is all that matters…go dj’s go

“I’ve come across people that I’ve DJed alongside at various functions where their laptops have been filled with MP3s - they show it off,” he said.”If I’m going out buying vinyl and I’ve got some young buck with a computer full of 20,000 MP3s, it’s hard to compete.”

This is so tired. You can have all the mp3’s and all the hi-tech gear you want, that doesn’t make you a cheat or a fake DJ. Nor does having a room full of vinyl make you a legitimate or good DJ. Whatever your medium, analog or digital, you gotta know how to blend, and what songs to play and when, so you can motivate the crowd and keep the party going. THAT is what makes a DJ. Skills, peroid.

Good post, F–k the big record companies who think they can control music and sue random people for having some tunes downloaded. Instead, gimmi loads of free tunes, ill DJ and promote them, and tell people where to Buy them.

so……. if I own 4000+ vinyl……. and then download the SAME SONG I’VE ALREADY BOUGHT, I should feel guilty for rocking Serato when I play out?

I’d rather not bust my back carrying around vinyl !

and who ever was quoted saying:

“legitimate DJs were being undermined by pirates who could afford lower rates. “I’ve come across people that I’ve DJed alongside at various functions where their laptops have been filled with MP3s - they show it off,” he said.”If I’m going out buying vinyl and I’ve got some young buck with a computer full of 20,000 MP3s, it’s hard to compete.”

Needs to wake up, smell the shite that they are shoveling and go get a fucking office job - hows remixing on the fly for violating copyright? FUCK OFF YOU CUNT - that IS djing…….

Don’t stress guys, only in Australia could this happen. The aussie inquisition will find any way to make a quick buck…it won’t hold up, it would have to be the biggest law suit in history to succeed
