Anyone a DJ or similar? I'm wondering where the laws (US) sit on playing back copyrighted music at a public function, people are paying to attend, wheres the law sit on this, basically what can I do without going to jail/massive fines?
I'm sure its possible to just do whatever pirated material I want, but thats probably not legal (there isn't going to be some RIAA attorney checking this over, but its a large (>900 people) enough function that we should be worrying about laws). I've never seen "this content not for commercial use" stuff on CD's/Vinyl (like the FBI anti-piracy crap that DVDs are branded with) so if anyone has any ideas on the law here?
