I don't know how fast they would get nailed...my friend threw a party a few
months ago, he advertised for a dj in craigs list,
about 20 e-mailed him, he chose one guy who only charged $150, as I said he
had any record you wanted digitally or on cd, cash deal, no income tax
reporting etc...I doubt very highly he had legal rights to play and song.
And as I asked before, if we videotape a party or wedding that a DJ is
playing at, the bride and groom hired them as hired the video guy.Now when
we give our finished product to them the music recorded as background music
which might have been played illegally by the dj, does that allow us to be
also liable and sued simply by recording the event?
Any one know for sure? I doubt they've got around to suing any video houses
yet since they seem to busy trying to get Microsoft and Sony to come up with
encryptions schemes to go after individuals yet
