- crucialfelix 14y agoI can just imagine the court case. how does a GEMA lawyer (€500/hr) prove that in fact the visiting DJ copied the file in his hotel rather than before getting on the EasyJet from London ? did they get a judge to authorize seizure of the USB stick to perform forensic evidence ? are the Berliner cops going to come into the club to enforce the seizure ? or extradite the DJ with his USB stick from London ? this same copy law was implemented in the UK in 2006 and is almost universally ignored and will probably be repealed soon. There are 20,000 clubbing tourists coming into Berlin every weekend. They are doing drugs. No club raids. A huge amount of the Berlin economy comes directly or indirectly from club income. I am a DJ and I live in Berlin. we've been following every detail since the beginning of GEMAs clueless war on club culture. trust me, nobody is going to pay GEMA anything for a copy fee. its a total joke.
