Thanks :D

I designed it, my brother built it.

[djpnuemo]

very very nice. kudos!

i was gonna post the custom table i built for my setup, but i don't have them available right now. and my computer is packed up for my move. it was all finished like yours is, but it was something to keep everything in check. my roommate and myself combined all of our DJ equipment and we had to make something to keep it all organized. but it's no more, because i'm moving. when i get my computer up and running, i'll post pics. also, on my myspace page, it has links to my mixes, BUT they're links to my FTP, which is of course down for now.

This was a question among other mods and admins right off the bat so I will answer in the same fashion as I did with them.

Basically, the songs are all purchased or licensed in some form to me.  There is a gray area with this type of music and the ability to play it publically.  Technically, every live-to-air broadcast over the web, satellite, or FM stations is bending the rules of copywrite infringement.  However, it is not illegal.

Since the music I am using is put together into a mixed compliation, the rights are therefore put onto me.

I am in no way making any money from this set or distributing it TO make money so that proves the legality issues as well.

Also, like I said: it is a mixed compilation.  If I were releasing the tracks individually as their own or in a form that could be broken up, we may have some issues.  But I'm not.  This is a private mix to be released for promotional use only, as with any mix compilation that is ever released.

Same goes with anything from BBC's Radio 1, ETN.fm and their torrent downloads, DI.fm's downloadable sets, ID&T, etc...

Hope that explains things enough ;)

Ummm ... not exactly. Those big sites get their downloads authorized by labels/DJs/producers before distributing a mix. While some labels have less strict policies in place regarding this kind of thing, many (i.e. Anjunabeats) specifically forbid any of their releases being offered in mixes like this. Also -- BBC, ETN, DI.FM, ID&T, etc. all pay broadcasting royalties to BMI, SOCAN, ASCAP, BUMA, STEMRA, etc. etc.. Else, it's copyright infringement. End of story.

I see. So any DJ who's posting links on their page to a personal set should be locked up for copyright infringement? Same thing would then apply to any Live-To-Air broadcast via FM radio as they do not pay rights as much as you claim they do (save stations like BBC).

I would then assume that passing along a demo to another DJ to evaluate their performance would then be dubbed illegal.

Or even sending out promotional copies of a new track, illegal.

There are so many gray areas that are being bent with DJ culture these days. Notice every vinyl you have (including the 4pack Tiesto LE) says right on it not to be used for distribution. So anytime you were to play it live on radio it technically breaches that contract. However it's done all the time, and even the RIAA knows that this goes on. It is no infringement and it is not illegal. Not to mention I provided a full tracklisting of all songs included so if anybody likes the tracks they can purchase them on their own.

Also be aware that I have contacted many of the artists that this was to be released on this website and received about 90% approval rate, the rest have not returned my e-mail.

Downloading now. Rarely touched this genre but this time for the sake of Neowin and [NFC]Wave, take a look and perhaps I will love it. :) Thanks for your hard working.

Good stuff Chris. Awesome work

[Fedorpheux]

I downloaded it and I'm a little past 60 minutes into listening to it. Wow, good timing because just now (as I was typing this) it hit a song that I like quite a bit.

I'm not usually a fan of this style of music (and listening to this bit hasn't really "converted" me) but I still have enjoyed it. Cool stuff, thanks!

:cool:

Props for good taste, gonna give this a listen in about 10 mins once it is done downloading :)
