The record companies are putting much higher restrictions on download stores than they do, or can, for CD sales. Just think its quite funny that if I buy that hard copy of a cd or record, with the right licence from APRA I am allowed to play these songs in public. So I would say that, in absence of a definitive, written statement from Apple or the APRA, you should assume that youĬannot use any tracks purchased from the iTunes Store in your DJ gigs. I don't know whether that applies in Australia or not. In the US, even having a performance license from the various rights licensing organizations - necessary for any public performance of any work to which you don't own the copyright or haven't been given explicit rights to public use, regardless of the source of the music - doesn't override that contractual arrangement.

Not personal use by any measure whatsoever. Using tracks for store background and DJ gigs is most definitely Pretty sure this means that if we buy music from the itunes plus store we are aloud to use it for such things as in store background music and djing type things. You may copy, store and burn iTunes Plus Products as reasonably necessary for personal, noncommercial use. The same restrictions on commercial reproduction will apply regardless of the source or format in which you obtain your music with the minor exception of "royalty-free" music that is sold with explict permission to play in-store without further royalites - the reason why some stores have horrible muzak playing in them.

Not allowed to use the music as a DJ or for in-store backgroud music, at least not without obtaining separate permission, for a fee, from the copyright holder. You may copy, store and burn iTunes Plus Products as reasonably necessary for personal,
