It would be a real hoot to nark on a Kj only to discover that at one time the Kj was certified by them but now has a bootleg song.

Anyway, I am impressed by the general information on the site, but can find little evidence there that they are actively persecuting Kjs or clubs.

All this said, I live in Canada and what I know about legalities here is that professional Kjs with hard drives need to be audited annually and prove athey have the disks that have been copied to their hard drives. If they fail the audit they lose their license. That said, I have no idea what the auditors consider to be a legitimate manufactured disk.

got a question about license, how do you get one, i have never heard about a kj getting a licence, and how do you proposed auditing a kj with a hhd , an auditor can't just walk in a venue and stop a show just to see if the kj has the disc of a song he's playing, an audit noticed would not work either, if a kj knows that he would be audited on a certain day/time..he could easily copy his non legal songs on another hhd, and then delete it from his show hhd...do they go into the venue and write down every song the kj's/singer is singing ?...and this question is for everyone..how many of us brings their original disc to a show? just wondering, i know i don't....and also if a kj's friend hhd failed in the mid. of a show and you happened to be there would you let him/her used your hhd and would that be considered illegal too, don't assumed anything caused non of my friends hhd failed yet...mostly it's their laptops !!!! and they have a back-ups ( hhds & lappies )
