And who exactly is charged with "auditing" their stock against their sales records? This is like "National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation" to them I'm sure; "Clark, it's all-you-can-eat, we only need one plate."

There's a couple of things you're forgetting: (1) Subtitles on movies are not done without the knowledge of the rights holder's in question and they ARE different than a karaoke disc. (2) Subtitles are not "synchronized" to sounds/music like the sweeps in a karaoke disc or a the sweeps in...

However Joe, Since the manufacturers sell to the 'general public' I believe it's pretty impossible for them to think that they can control the end use of their product. Example: #1. Customer buys a track online - with or withOUT graphics - #2. Customer puts that track on a flashdrive or...

Look in your OWN filing cabinet... you see a list of ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX songs... on a document labeled "EXHIBIT A" and "Permanent Injunction and Dismissal, Middle Dist. Tn. Case No. 3-06-468" (in order to keep things fair, a copy of this document is available to all non-cheerleader members...

Absolutely. You only have to pay a compulsory fee to recreate the music. No synch license, no lyric reprint. No licensing from the publisher directly. Just as SC didn't need "permission" to issue a non-graphic version of Eagles songs, you're simply doing the same thing. Glad I could explain it...

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads If I make those edits on the playback, there' nothing you can do about it and none of your rights regarding any IP property have been violated, period. If you think otherwise, then where are all the lawsuits against regular DJ's for using...

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads Sure "let's take an example"... but LET'S MAKE IT A FAIR EXAMPLE. You are now changing the rules by adding the stipulation of "recording and THEN editing." Proformance never said a word about "recording, then editing" anything, YOU did. Makes...

Besides, it takes less licensing too.... Remember SC's famous "Read Between The Lines" Eagles disc?

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads What a load of crap! Can you show me the license you have to "freely advertise" in any of MY SHOWS? If I want to remove your advertising logo on the playback, warble the audio, drop the key 10 times or do anything else, you are powerless to do...

Ooookkkkaayyy..... so what is the question? (just don't ask me to provide a solution to the mfg's problems... they've got their business hurtles, I've got mine)

Because they inherently are mutually exclusive. Did you lease the Gem Series for the "discs" that hold the songs or the "songs" you can transfer to your hard drive? You leased the songs... not the discs.... Even your own agreement states you don't own the discs and they won't sue you when you...

As someone recently remarked: "Bingo!"

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads Is this directed to me or Proformance? If this is directed to me, then please send your questions via PM, I'm not avoiding anything other than itchy trigger fingers.

You didn't pick one.... you picked both... So if your receipt for a downloaded track is lost you've effectively lost your rights, is this what you are saying?

Okay, let me ask you this and you can choose only one: [ ] I purchased "discs" from manufacturers than can wear out or be destroyed and if they are worn out, scratched or destroyed it effectively revokes my rights entirely. [ ] I purchased "songs" or "musical recordings" from manufacturers and...

So?... add your own. It's not expensive or hard to do.

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads And you are an intern at the public defender's office applyin for the bar for what reason? To moonlight your karaoke job?

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads You have a dramatic propensity for overstatement... "hating an ACTION" (like plopping a logo on the screen every 10 seconds) is much different than hating "the ENTITY" that put it there... But it's just not as much fun if you take it for what...

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads Wow.... It's amazing how my disapproval is quickly labeled as "hating" by you...

Directly from SBI President on Karaoke Downloads How ridiculous... A scratched disc then can "damage you?"... A patron who requests a key dropped to -4 sounds just as crappy and obviously "damages" you as well.... Personally, I've always hated any manufacturer's "imposed advertising"...
