    I usually download my music from torrent or other sharing files websites and play it in small parties with no copyright controls for the music.
    I read Beatport, iTunes and other music sharing websites don't let the dj play the file he bought in parties, but they are only for personal use. (This is a big shit, I buy something that I can't use to earn something...)

    How to get music files those I can play live?
    In the case I use a bootleg (unofficial remix) of a song, do I need the license for the original?

    What? Where do you read that? That's complete nonsense.
    Usually, the host of the party/owner of the event location you play at has to pay a certain amount to the country's respective p.r.o., covering everything for you. I've heard of cases where you had to submit a tracklist but all I've ever encountered was a flat-rate.

    I live in Italy, the association for copyright is called SIAE. Ok so as dj I just need to buy the music from stores, isn't it?

    yes, and of course beatport is a feasable source where you can buy your music and play it to people. thousands of djs do it. the secret phrase is called "performing royalties" :)
    ah, and since you live in Italy it's probably not nonsense but baloney :)
