simonsteph 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hello all, I am confused, i have not done a gig for a few months but i have a few coming up now its closer to Christmas. I have been checking this site out for any updates or anything i may have missed. I have just read about a new license and not sure if i need one? I use original cd's not copys or home made ones. Do i still need a license? How much? I have a PAT test and insurance but this will be an additional cost and i may have to quit DJing as i don't do enough gigs due to work commitments and i would be left out of pocket. Thanks Simon Simon www.mitchandtitch.co.uk Like my head hurts but the wife keeps on nagging Link to post Share on other sites
TonyB 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi Simonsteph The new Licence is probably the Produb. You only need it if you copy any media for example rip CD's to a hard drive for digital playback. If you are only using original CD's then you won't need one although you may get some grief from some venues due to mis information being given that all DJ's need one.

Thanks Simon Sorry. Off topic a little bit, but you need to spell check your website - if you are going the extra mile, you need to spell Wedding correctly. No licence required for private, NON PUBLIC events - i.e Weddings, private parties etc.. Link to post Share on other sites

supersound dj 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 as far as i remember you dont need a pro dub licence to use cd's only but you still need to regester for an exemption i think. Link to post Share on other sites
TonyB 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Topic moved to the licencing section :) At the moment you can't register for an exemption. It was originally suggested by the PRS/MCPS as an idea but some DJ's were against it because they didn't think it was fair to have to register for something they didn't need. I believe the Alliance are reconsidering but don't hold your breath. They don't seem to want to do anything that will be of benefit to the DJ'ing industry :hide: Edited September 29, 2008 by TonyB Link to post Share on other sites
McCardle 1 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 They don't seem to want to do anything that will be of benefit to the DJ'ing industry Why should they?. They don't represent us in any way, shape or form. Its a bit like expecting the conservatives to chip in to the Labour Xmas party collection "The voice of the devil is heard in our land" 'War doesn't determine who is right, war determines who is left, and you wont win this war.'
