Digital DJs 'Unaware of Copy Law'

Via The BBC.

Many DJs are still unwittingly breaking the law by playing unlicensed digital copies of tracks months after a new permit scheme began, the BBC has found.

The £200 annual licences were introduced by royalty collection organisation PPL in September.

DJs who copy tracks onto computers or MP3 players without one are breaking copyright law, the agency says.

But Radio 1 DJ Fergie told Newsbeat he did not know about the licences and doubted many other DJs did either.
