| From the Where2sing.com forum: 'The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has set up a new licence [sic] to let DJs format shift their music to use at gigs. DJs will need to pay a licence fee to copy music they already own legally from one format to another for ease of use, and as a back-up in case originals get lost or stolen. 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.'
