Because of a new law, it now costs around $400 a year just to play mp3s from a laptop in public. No provisions for CD-R's. Huh?
“We haven't come up with a licensing solution for CD-Rs,” Peter Leathem, Director of Legal and Business Affairs at the PPL has revealed to DJmag.
“The decision taken was that CD-Rs were an unnecessary complication of the simple license we had come up with.” DJs are not only entertainers; they are promotional tools. Why don't record labels understand that and stop taxing us at every turn?
