Er, no, that's not true.

GINO: Are you ever worried about being sued for the stuff you've used in
your CD's?
NEIL: To answer your question, about whether or not I'm scared about
getting sued? Yeah, I am. BUT MY MIXTAPES ARE PROMO ONLY.
GINO: Its crazy man, some kid in Australia was threatened with jail time
for making some mix tapes. They've been cracking down on mix tapes in other
places around the world.
NEIL: Yeah, most definitely. Even here in NYC, its not the same as it used
to be.
GINO: Really, how is it different? Is it stricter?
"If you call a store, and ask them, 'Do you sell mix tapes?' they will
always say no, even if they do."
NEIL: Very very much so. Don't get me wrong; people still sell them out
here, but it's different. They don't display them out in the open. If you
call a store, and ask them, "Do you sell mix tapes?" they will always say
no, even if they do.

Hey . all .
(Adam this is not about your mix . .. just the whole area of net casts)
Just wanted to ask the opinion of the list ' regarding the net casting
of
copyright (techno) musics ?
I know that technically it is illegal ' in that you need the
permissions of
the artists to publish their music .. etc. However the "DJ Mix" has
always been this promotional gray area for publishing copyright music.
Now that we have entered the net-casting ' pod-casting era .. it
changes
the dimensions a bit, from a DJ handing out a Mix tape/CD to promoters
and friends to the broadband access of many.
So I suppose it comes down to a peer review again. Since as far as I
know
no one has ever been prosecuted for handing out Mix tapes.
So does anyone mind the publishing of Techno mixes online '
Are the rules for making this okay ' that you publish a Tracklist and
Links to
artists pages where applicable?
What if the site you are doing it through is making revenue from
advertising
on the hosting page?
Obviously in the world of the net you can just do things, and get away
with it.
However here in NZ . our longest running Techno radio show the Stereo
Nasties
just got axed. So we are considering net casting the show instead and
would
hate to upset people or step on toes by publishing copyright music
online in a
DJ mix format, while making some revenue in return for hosting the
show.
Are there any legal standards for this? Are there any community
thoughts about
this ? Are there any label or Artists on the list who have views about
this ?
In one sense its no different from music played on a Radio Station '
except the
Internet is different and highly undefined
Is it streaming vs downloading ?! Any input appreciated ..
