I would imagine that this would depend upon the content and source of the discography. Is the content recordings from live shows or is it all studio recordings? Any live music not remastered or recorded in a studio would be public domain and available for sale unless specifically noted at the time of recording "not intended for sale or distribution". If the recordings were made by the DJ or on behalf of the DJ, copywrite laws would protect the recordings from being sold or recreated without prior authorization.

This would only be legal if you own the discography. If the DJ is unsigned, then the discography belongs to the DJ and you would need his permission first. Get everything in writing before attempting a sale.

Not sure but they all do stuff like that
Its getting to the stage in there where you dont know whats genuine and whats not
I recently got done with a Plumbers cd course for nearlly £8 and it was a copy. When I gave neutral feedback and stated it was a copy I got into a load of grief with the seller and a bad feedback because apparently 'I was the first one to ever complain...'
No-one does anything about it and whilst its probably wrong of me to advise you to do it, whats the harm...

I'm not familiar with Mexican laws, but generally a specific order of copyrighted songs is not protected. The rights to the songs themselves are protected. You would be risking that type of lawsuit or criminal punishment. Usually DJ's pay a monthly fee to ASCAP/EMI for the right to play copyrighted materials.

sure, if it is yours to sell.
meaning YOU are the underground dj in question.
or the materials you are selling are the originals purchased from someone else who had the right to sell them.
but it probably isn't that, is it?

Yes, because one of the illegal or banned items on eBay are copies of copyrighted material.

By all means. And they are cracking down hard. You need to sell only original DVDs anywhere now. It is getting hard to sell copies.

If the cd had a copy right sticker/stamp on it then yes

If it's not copy-righted material, then you're good to go. Being underground, I'd say it's not copy-righted, hence legal.
