Nobody on SoundCloud is profiting from other people's copyright works as well, at least not through that service. To date there's no royalty or revenue sharing model for artists there. Should every DJ who's ever performed be subject to takedown requests because they play other people's music publicly?
- bphogan 12y agoActually, the DJs kinda do need a license. The venues they perform at often have a BMI or ASCAP license so they don't have to. But I was DJing at a place that didn't have one. Employer got sued and had to pay up. 1976 copyright act says "no public performance." This is actually what they cited in the Aereo case too.
