Licence to DJ

The health minister in Bavaria has issued a special “DJ licence”. The reason for it has nothing to do with bad taste or musical quality though. A written exam will make sure that DJ’s know how to handle sound with responsibility, which will hopefully lead to less hearing damages. Suffering from tinnitus myself, I think this is a great idea. Exaggerated? Maybe, but in this iPod age, the problem is too serious to be over-looked. Just because it’s loud, doesn’t mean it’s good, so this might just increase the quality after all. :)
