Talk:Digital DJ licensing

In Finland, it is Gramex, not Teosto, who does random inspections on DJs (though not a single case has actually been heard of in quite some years). Gramex is the copyright organisation for the music producers and record companies, while Teosto is the copyright organisation of composers and "the original makers" of the music - apparently the record companies are more keen to having their rights looked after.

Changes in Finnish licenses during 2009
Teosto changed their policy in such a manner that there is no longer discrimination based on the original format; if you purchase a digital file online, you can use that file while performing as a dj - provided that you do not change the format of the file (ie. it is not allowed to burn the file onto CD and play from there; doing this still requires a license). In the past Teosto has been the initiator of new ideas; they originally created the DJ license in Finland with Gramex soon to follow. Teosto also first raised the number of allowed records to 3000 in their "largest" license type, and within a year Gramex did the same thing. It is expected that Gramex will follow Teosto's lead in the matter of possibly not requiring a license for digital files (though no official word is out).

I didn't find a suitable way to incorporate this within the article. DiscoNova (talk) 15:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * DJ Orion has posted a list of corrections (in Finnish) for the section concerning situation in Finland. These should be incorporated into the article by someone with time and a bit of Finnish skills. (I could do it myself if I find the time, but anyone may feel free to jump in.) -Uusijani (talk) 12:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I made a correction to the part about yearly reports, which are not required according to the post by DJ Orion. However, there are still other mistakes listed in that post that I can't really bother to figure out. Matiasw (talk) 12:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Possible correction for the UK
As a working professional mobile DJ I have and use ProDub, I'm pretty certain it's a format shift license which allows you to copy from any format to any other format for your own use (ie not distributing in any way). Pretty sure it allows you to copy from CD to vinyl for example. Other licenses which may be needed (for DJing in general) where a venue does not hold its own PPL: PPLPP004 for audio, VPLPP009 for Karaoke / video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.23.240.253 (talk) 10:40, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
