This thread has come up before, but would selling mix cds be worse than:
- selling music that has samples that aren't paying royalties
- selling music that recreates the melody of an existing tune
- selling music composed on pirated software
or what about djs who really do just use turntables like a sampler?
then again - where is the line that says its ok to give away mix
cds anyway? sure, it may be promotional, but isn't that
violating the artists copywrite anyway?
I don't have strict answers to these questions, but they definitely come up.
I make mixes and give them away, and sell a few,
basically at cost to pay for cdrs/stickers.
I think its fair, but if an artists actually cares enough,
they can get in touch with me.
