I am not making assumptions they themselves told me how they dj in sl like i said i have friends who work at clubs + i am not talking about "all" the djs i am only talking about the ones I have known personally for many years

By 'quite something' I meant those few DJs are getting away making that much money illegally , some without having to even pay for their music -like someone in this thread said i cant dj even if i buy music from spotify unless i have permission from them to do so ..yes most moderate clubs tips r very low so even tho this practice is highly illegal for many or most its profitless hence nobody cares about it happening - true thing The DJ i was a PH of was retired i know a lot of retired DJs who play for fun, and some DJs based in Asian countries do that for "extra income" besides rl job - in asia even 100$ a month is a lot (so thats profit for them without much expense if they r doing it illegally) also a lot of my friend hosts and dancers from asia work for the same purpose ~ Since some DJs r profiting many others r not....i dont think anybody will waste their time on this matter even tho it is illegal

My country requires performers anywhere (rl or sl) a license i checked some hours back lol so im just going to keep doing paid hosting gigs

True...however some DJs play 3-4 sets everyday - music downloaded from youtube (some buy from itunes) - some got sam broadcaster pirated- some adult zoned clubs pay+tips (i myself hang out at those where the DJs make 2500- 3k on an average set (2hrs) and the dancers/hosts make 1200-1500 and i used to be a PH for such a DJ so trust me the earning isnt as little as most people think it to be as playing 2-3 sets almost 4-5 days a week year after year illegally is quite something ! but yeah i dont think anybody is going to police the music inworld anytime soon even if they do djs have no legal obligation to show track titles so yeah they can "get away" with it i believe ~ its why i asked about licensing needs and wanted to be sure i needed 1 before starting my own dj career in sl ~ since its pretty expensive legally im going to stick with hosting hehe PS: doing my own research too

Yeah that's what Ill do from now if i find djs illegally streaming

I see

So how come DJs who illegally (without license) stream music they bought from itunes/spotify or just downloaded from youtube r getting away with it...including club/venue owners who allow such djs?

So, from what i gather from the replies so far is I cannot play music I bought from itunes/spotify (let alone youtube)? and i have to pay royalties in some way to live mix or just boradcast the music, right? plus i have to check with my countries laws for a streaming license because sl parcels don't cover the license, right?

So, where do I get music from to DJ in sl and do i have to pay royalties or sl club events r considered private events?

Hi I wanna be a DJ in SL like my friend So, my friend couldn't be sure about the licensing part....D: Can someone tell me if to DJ at clubs from France Ill be needing a streaming license besides buying music from spotify or sl clubs and land parcels covering the license? (I read online many places but all those posts were contradictory - some saying sl covers the license so djs dont need to worry about getting one to broadcast , some saying i have to check with my countrys licensing laws D: ) Your help will be appreciated! Thanx
