Investigation into club DJs pirating music

Music blog Mashit.com reports on an article from the Sydney Morning Herald about an Investigation into DJ piracy amid claims newcomers are stealing the show. From the article:

“…legitimate DJs were being undermined by pirates who could afford lower rates. “I’ve come across people that I’ve DJed alongside at various functions where their laptops have been filled with MP3s - they show it off,” he said.”If I’m going out buying vinyl and I’ve got some young buck with a computer full of 20,000 MP3s, it’s hard to compete.”

Everyone’s gotta use their talents to compete, whether its based on technology or skill. Check out the discussion on this forum too.
