[font=Times New Roman][b] Hi Guys. Newbie here.

Now, i'm thinking of starting up a disco buisness and i have read all the posts of what to do and what not to do.

The only thing that is puzzling me is I'm thinking about getting albums from various supermarket websites where you can download them directly as MP3 and on you my HDD.

With the "pro-dub" licence, i understand that people are saying it will allow you to rip the music off CD but what about the one's I am going to buy from the websites. I will assuming that i would have invoices via email to confirm the purchase making the album legal.

If it's the case that if we are going to use digital media, then we should have the licence then why not say about using digital equiptment full stop.

These websites are not torrent and are supermarket sites from www.tunechecker.com.

Would you think this is a loop hole where i read on here that using a laptop/PC would be in cojunction in using CD's at a venue ( the venue should have the PPL licence)

Someone please help as i'm getting confused.

Also, if i bought the albums off the websites, would i be able to legally burn them onto a CD and put them in my pouch as i know about the "making a backup with an album i own" thing.

Thanks for reading and replying if you can.

Ok, Thanks.

I read the part and quote "(Q) I'm a DJ using Legal Downloads directly from my Laptop / Ipod


(A) This is currently a grey area and some major download companies may simply forbid DJ's using their music commercially as part of a business. We advise that you contact the source(s) of the downloaded music to obtain written permission to use the material for DJ purposes. We also suggest that you contact the Pro-Dub team for further advice. "

So, would that mean i would need to contact the supermarkets or the Album vender's or as it's a grey area, do nothing until the time is needed to?
