    could you clarify a little on this statement:

    "and if they aren't people calling
    themselves deejays and playing just compilation cds and cd-r:s containing
    already-released material."

    is it because it's to easy to buy a compilation CD? is it different from
    DJ's spinning and mixing with vinyl albums (instead of 12"es)? do you mean
    with compilation a compilation with radio-edits or do you also consider
    unmixed compilations with full 12" versions on it?

    about CD-r's with already released material: is this a music-pirating thing,
    or something else?
