Dec 13, 2015 Phil Morse is the founder of Digital DJ Tips.

It is certainly against Spotify’s rules. It’s made clear in the Spotify Terms & Conditions of Use, section 4, “Rights we grant you”:
Can You Download Music From Spotify To Virtual Dj Download
“The Spotify Service and the Content are the property of Spotify or Spotify’s licensors. We grant you … a limited, non-exclusive, revocable licence to make personal, non-commercial, entertainment use of the Content … You promise and agree that you are using the Content for your own personal, non-commercial, entertainment use”
However, Spotify has granted the use of its service within DJ software (Algoriddim’s djay 2 and djay Pro, Pacemaker app). The dictionary definition of DJ says a DJ is someone who “plays recorded music on the radio or at a club or party”. A bit confusing? We think so too.
It gets worse. Beatport is a site designed for DJs, where many DJs buy their music for public performance. Of all places, you should be safe there – right? Let’s take a look at their Terms and Conditions:
“Without the prior written consent of Beatport or the applicable copyright holder, no Content may be transmitted, distributed, translated, publicly displayed, uploaded, published, recorded, retransmitted, rented, sold, distributed, digitized, endorsed, reproduced, altered to make new works, performed, or compiled in any commercial way. The Content is only for your personal, noncommercial use…”
You’ll usually find similar clauses tucked away anywhere you buy digital music. Another crazy example: Here in the UK, if you buy a CD and use it to DJ with, as long as the venue has a public performance licence, you’re good. But if you rip that CD so you can DJ with it in your DJ software, you (personally) need to buy a licence to stay on the right side of the law. Crazy? Yup.
The whole area of copyright law and public performance is a minefield (which is why lawyers insist on nonsense like the above tucked in the small print), and ultimately it’s your decision whether you treat the law as the law or a guideline. we’ve yet to hear of a prosecution for violating either of the above clauses, for what it’s worth. If the venue has the licences it needs to let music be publicly performed, we’d personally be happy to play there, with music from any legal source.
Any stories to share or insights we’ve missed here? what do you think of this situation, and what could be done to resolve it? Please let us know your thoughts in the comments.

I guess you’d have to ‘temporarily download’ the file into a CDJ’s memory to be able to pitch and mix it. If that would be possible, you’d only need an internet connection and a subscription to the service instead of a whole collection you’d have to buy. Are you aware of such kind of service or don’t you think it exists (yet)?”

Good question, and it’s something I’ve wondered about before (more a question of “when”, not “if” I feel). At the moment this is not possible, and indeed the Spotify app pictured above did let you do this from within the app, but it got pulled shortly after release for breaking some condition in Spotify’s API rules. But with some Pioneer gear already able to play music directly from, for instance, a mobile phone’s library, surely it won’t be long before someone cracks this and lets you play locally downloaded music from Spotify etc. It would certainly be a godsend for mobile DJs who may get strange requests that they hadn’t anticipated.
Worth pointing out that Virtual DJ has had a tie-in with Grooveshark for quite a while now that lets you do what you are describing within its software. For a US$10 monthly subscription, Virtual DJ allows you to search and download tunes from Grooveshark’s library, and DJ with them as if they were your own music files.
