I really think it's worth digging up. He took money from people who expect to see a DJ. It's an insult to people who work hard to actually improve themselves as DJs, it's an insult to the promoters of the night who booked him and it's an insult to the people who have supported him as an "artist".
I don't think it's very fair for you to de-value DJing as trying to look busy and taking credit for other people's music either, because they're two VERY seperate skills. Not only do you have the technical aspects of beat-matching and EQing, you've also got the hugely important task of being able to build a set, to take people on a journey and feed off the crowd with your selection.
There are big names like Mistabishi who de-value DJing, but then again you've got the pioneers of the scene like Andy who have been involved since day dot pretty much who have honed a talent and bring other people's music to life outside of a bedroom environment. You've also got the local heads who are equally as talented helping push more niche sounds, as well as local artists.
It's like saying Lewis Hamilton is taking credit because he didn't build the car
