Re: Ascap & Bmi
Like I stated in my previous post i called the lady who claimed to be head of the office. That is what she told me. There is nothing for a DJ or KJ although she said they COULD come after the ESTABLISHMENT and us they have never gone after a regular DJ because they only offer licenses to establishments.
The only thing you need to do that i can gather is OBTAIN your music leagally and Pay your taxes on your gigs.
Which i must say is not so bad if this is a supplemental income. I found that in my state of indiana you can write off your equiptment cost, supplies (paper pens etc.) and milage to and from shows and if you make a trip to a store FOR BUSINESS ONLY that mileage too. And you only have to show a profit 3 of evey 5 years. Of then you normally only end up paying for Social Security tax about 12% of income.
To me it only makes scense to be legal!
Just my $.02
