The Digital DJ Licence - How many sold then? 

Less than 1,000 licences have been sold in the UK during the Sep 2005 to 2006 period?

How about less than 700?

How about less than 400?

How about less than 200?

Go on, guess?!

And how many DJs have been prosecuted in this 12 month period?

Imagine the music collection agencies have introduced a DJ License to replace the Digital DJ Licence that offers the following for less than £240.00 per year:

• DJ License permit with unique issue number
• One National DJ database - promoting the registered DJ and accessable to the general public, venues, etc. Direct links to members own website.  Ex-directory listing option.
• Exclusive Free download promo tracks direct from the record industry to subscribed members
• Substantial discounts on music downloads and bulk music downloads
• Potential for exclusive discounts on high street music purchases (vinyl, CD)
• DJs allowed to back-up their music collection to digital and other formats under new license - no limits or restriction
• New for old downloads - replace the worn vinyl and CDs with digital files from as little as £0.10p per track
• Free Industry magazine every three months aimed at DJing, articles, product reviews, features, classifides, product discounts, members letters, professional advice from the HSE, cover disc and industry freebies, etc.
• Optional Public Liability Insurance at a discounted rate of £25 for £10,000,000 PLI cover for DJs underwritten by same insurer as the Musicians Union.

Imagine future extras including

• industry backed education and training courses for registered DJs via learn direct and specialist set-up workshops
• advice and support from music industry backed DJ Associations which are currently not supported
• advice and support from music industry backed Online DJ forums which are currently not supported
• exclusive discounts from the motor trade and breakdown services
• exclusive discounts on vehicle purchases and car finance -

If this was exclusively offered to you as a DJ, would you be satisfied or honestly unhappy?

Is it time DJs were recognised publicly as a service industry?

What or who determines the requirements for such an industry?
