Livesets

[Domoo]

I just wanted to know whether downloading livesets is legal or not?? i've been told that yes they are but others have told me that they are not? which one is it? also r they protected by copyright laws? thanks :D

It's illegal to put MP3 mixes / livesets online with tracks that are copyright protected.
Even if you want to put a homemade liveset online with tracks that you have bought on CD or vinyl, you are not allowed to put it as a livemix on the internet. It's against the law, so we can not allow it in the forum.

Thanks alot for the info. How do we find out if a liveset has copyrighted music? is this site illegal? Link removed! thanks again

Yes, that site does offer downloads with tracks that are copyright protected.
Even if the DJ's provide their mixes for download, it's not allowed by the law, since they don't own the copyright of the tracks that they use in their mix.

I wish live sets would be more easily to purchase. And of course, for not too much money. Live sets are very nice to have, especially when you're fan of a DJ.

But what is really REALLY stupid, is to remove tracks in a live set, like Ferry's set at Trance Energy 2005. Maybe there were some good reasons for that, but removing tracks from a live set is pretty killing such a set.

It's a tough world :p

Well, if you can not clear a track that is used in a liveset there are 2 options:
Remove the track from the set or don't put it online at all...

It's a tough world indeed ;)

i got ferrys set at trance energy 05 and there doesnt seem to b any tracks missing from mine...unless i downloaded a dud :( and its too short or something

@dancemania: Well, I think a set must be seen as a whole, not with holes in it. To make a nice comparison, I don't want cheesy sets ;) :D

@Domoo: You could have the VIP set. Ferry did two sets at TE2005. The VIP set is complete indeed.

I was wonder if you'd like to use my thread that I had opened earlier:
