What you sell between yourselves is up to you but you cant be selling anything in relation to CTW. I really haven't got much of a clue about the legal side of all this but its better to be safe than sorry - I think Tony and other DJs on here might know a bit more about what you can and cant do.

 

I will have a CD too mate - will PM you my address.

 

I think others should cover P&P & blank CD costs otherwise I can see a lot of you getting seriously out of pocket. Tony - I'll give you some cash for the ones you've done me so far.

[Jukesy]

Cheers James,

 

We have just sent 50 out and that's put us out of pocket. £2 is a far price in my opinion, good tunes, very good mixing and once we sell one we can get another one produced which is what we are doing. Just waiting for another 50 to be completed asap

Tony - I'll give you some cash for the ones you've done me so far.

 

 

don't be silly mate, i appreciate the offer thou.

[Mr_Happy]

just 4 the record - u r breaking copywrite issues

 

even if u distrebuted it 4 free u would be breaking copywrite issues

 

even DJ ur records @ a house party is breaking the copywrite issues if ur house party (or ne other event) isn't sign up to the agency that collects subscriptions 4 playing records out (4get the company name)

 

basically tho - if its all kept low key then no1 will notice and (hopefully) care to take ne action on it

[LiquidEyes]

(4get the company name)

The PRS (Performing Right Society)

 

Yes it is illegal, ESPECIALLY if you make any profit. However I think there's a legal clause whereby, if you claim your CD is a "demo" (i.e. the focus is on your track selection / mixing / DJing abilities, rather than the tunes themselves) then you can give it to people for free.

 

When I posted the cost breakdown, I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I'm just stressing that if you make one penny out of selling an unlicensed mix CD, then that's really quite naughty. Basically you're making money out of someone else's music!

 

As for the house party thing - I'm not sure where you draw the line between "private listening" and a "party". But as Mr Happy rightly says, nightclubs etc are TECHNICALLY supposed to sign up with the PRS so that royalties are distributed to artists.

Ive heard this cd & in my opinion its worth £15 let alone £2! Nice 1 Jukesy!

[Mr_Happy]

chears liquid

[Jukesy]

Thanx for your comments Sarah,

Hope you are well.

 

Have you managed to pass our cd onto Irish Dave and Steve??

[Mr Moo]

Money

50p for a reasonable quality CD-R + standard jewel case

 

 

Time

20mins to burn the CD at x4 speed (during which time you can go away and do something else!!)

 

50p is a bit steep m8! Go to computer fairs and get a hundred v.good quality cds for £15 or sumin silly like that!

 

and im laffin very hard @ ur write speed m8

 

/me thinks u should make a profit on ur cds just to buy a faster writing speed cd-rw

[DJ Elemental]

Alright Jukesy

 

i've gotten all your emails,just not had time to reply to them.I have passed your CD on to EVolution and Top Boss Thomas is still yet to listen to it. At the moment he is extreamly busy,as we're fighting to get a club reopened and be has been writing alot of reports and stuff.Hopfully he has listened to them today. I'll email you, or get him to call you when he does

[djiceman]

I'll have one as well mate, e-mail me with your address and I'll send you a nice crisp £2 P.O.

 

 

I've actually got a cd mixed, but sent it to a radio station and they ain't returned it...........

 

must try again with another style.................
