As I read thru the different boards I mostly see that we, as DJ's can't purchase the lisc. That concerns me, since every place I have played, multiple schools, Convention Center and other buildings for weddings and private parties, none of them have any of these lisc. and all state it is the responsibility of the perfomer to have the proper (non-pirated music) and any lisc or credentials. All and I mean ALL of my music is purchased and mine, but I can't get a BMI lisc.
I would venture to say very few DJ's in this forum play at venues that have the lisc. What is legal???

I've always wondered and have argued ad nauseam what is a private event. Public happens when you step outside your door so when you play an event that might only be invited guests is it really private?
Here's an example: Saturday night I was doing a wedding at a resort. There was another wedding in another room and a bachelor party there too. About a dozen guys from the bachelor party crashed the reception and a few guests from the other reception also made an appearance. The bride was surprisingly OK with all this but that's not the point. When they came in they were uninvited so technically then it wouldn't be a private event anymore.
Another example you are in a tent and the music can be heard by someone say 1000 ft away is it still private?
I know I'm being picky on it but who says the powers that be wouldn't be
DJs can get Licenses if the event is their own, meaning that they are promoting it for themselvesAs I read thru the different boards I mostly see that we, as DJ's can't purchase the lisc.

BS Cap -- you are making up sh_t to fit you needs.
BTW, what happened to tractor and trailer -- did they fall off the truck on the way here? Should I trust you at this point...?
Once again Rick(y) you are incorrect
Being smart and being correct are 2 different things.
