Just using other people's work freely in order to make money is non sense, unless those people have agreed that you do so.
Just like a moving company pays for its trucks.
Just like musicians pay for their guitars, drums, etc.
Just like a restaurant pays for the food it serves.
A DJ should pay for its music. It's a business.
If you pay 4000$ on gear and can't even bother paying for your tunes, you hould reconsider your career choices.
Just because piracy is copying, or because some say it does not hurt the artist, it still remains that this artist worked hard on producing a track, invested in a studio and often has years of musical experience.
Imagine if you put out a mixtape on SoundCloud. Then, one night, you go at that nice lounge in your area. And you hear your stolen mix playing on the PA system! I'm sure you'd be exploding in anger. But hey, making money from other's work without paying is not piracy it seems! (Funny how when the pirater gets himself pirated, the story takes a new perspective).
