In the war against illegal copying, no one is safe. DJs in Australia now have to pay for a license for their own music or face fines and/or imprisonment.

Yep, they need to pay a licence fee to copy music they already own legally to their iPods, laptops, or compilation CDs.

Criminal penalties for DJs involved in music piracy are up to sixty thousand dollars and 5 years imprisonment. There are also on-the-spot fines of over one thousand dollars.
