My understanding is none of the streaming services integrated into DJ software cover licences for public performance. Just as you don't get that when buying a track from beatport etc.



It specifically says on the Apple page [1]

"sculpt your sets directly from Apple Music before you perform ... for DJs at any level ..."

That can only realistically mean that you're paying for something to perform with. Otherwise it would be an incitement to copyright infringement...

Does Beatport say "Tracks for you to perform with as a DJ"? If not, I can't really see how the comparison works.

Apple Music even existing relied on trademark infringement so I guess expecting them to care about IPR is too much!?

It continues "Think of it as a sketch pad or a rehearsal space, a home for DJs of any level to master their craft and shape their future sets."

I agree Apple (and other services DJ software is integrating) are misleading people.
