When I go out to sing, I bring my own disks so I know I can sing the songs I like and not be limited to what the KJ has. I use copies so that I can consolidate the songs on just a few disks instead of having to bring a whole bunch of CDs that I might only do one song off of (however, I definitely DO own all the originals - I just prefer not to carry them around). Just this weekend I was told by a KJ that he wouldn't play my disks because they were copies, and that he'd gotten fined $1000 2 weeks previously for playing someone's "copied" disk. This just didn't make sense to me - I would figure if it's my disk, I would be the one responsible for insuring that I had the originals, not him. However, since I am also a KJ, I am definitely concerned since people bring their own "copied" disks in all the time. I always figured if it wasn't part of my library and they were using it for their own personal use, there wouldn't be any issues (or if there was, the issue would be with them, not me). Has anyone experienced anything like this, and do you know if this is really something a KJ can be fined for? I make sure that I have only legal copies, but I've never worried about playing someone else's disk for them - now I'm a bit concerned. Thanks.
