How does the law affect DJs? When your art consists of playing someone else's material for an audience (yes, I know you put creativity into spinning and mixing and all, but your instrument is not a thing that produces raw notes -- it is something that plays someone else's copyrighted material), does this not run up against some sort of legal issues?
Should DJs pay the same price as the rest of us? All I want to do is listen to a CD in my car, not play it for a club full of paying customers.
Or does this law only refer to movies, and not music? Still, any audiovisual store or department within a larger store is constantly showing things like this to display its equipment. Do Tweeter, Best Buy, Circuit City, The Sharper Image, etc. have the right?
