While DJing is a skill (and some consider it an art) the underlying material is someone else's art. It's like putting a picasso through a photocopier, cutting it in half, and attaching a Van Gogh on the other half. It's new, yeah... but the true art didn't happen at the photocopier.

I think your metaphor is slightly different from the way the the scene works. You see the producers of electronic music make the music to be mixed along with other producers tracks. Producers make these tracks to be played by other DJ's. That is the sole purpose of making the track. So other Dj's play them at the big parties. Nothing better than to hear some big name DJ playing your homies track that he made on a PC.
Just like porn. You have content you give to your affiliates for freesites and galleries. But you don't mind what they do with it just as long as the content links to your paysite.When you see your content on a LL with a link to your site and an affiliate made it. you would be fucking stoked. Same with DJing.They play other peoples tracs and let them know their track rocks by mixing it properly and at the right time in the evening during the event.
I had to throw in some porn
