Competitive Clarification?
Re; Guest Editorial: “Some Things Are Better Left
Undone” (Mobile Beat, May 2003)
While most of the items under David Van Enger's iist entitied
“Ethicai, morai, professionai disc jockeys don't..." do fail under
good ethical practice, some of them certainly do not qualify as
ethical or moral issues.
Item 1: ...consistently, knowingly undercut any

Item 2: ...attempt to hire the competition's
contented employees.
Response: Again, that's business. In almost any profession,
employers are always keeping an eye out for talent and trying

competitors. Again, I personally do not do it as a standard
practice, and I certainly am not happy when it happens to me,
but I wouldn't go as far as to say it is an unethical practice. Just
be forewarned that if you choose to operate like this, turnabout is
fair play. There could be consequences.
Item 3: ...attend any type ofDJ gathering (Mobile
