Well, the first part of my plan to fight piracy has fallen into place relatively quickly. I have secured the cooperation of at least two other local KJ's to work with me.
However, they have posed some really important questions that they feel must be answered before we can successfully go forward. And their questioning falls into three general categories.
A. What can we say or give to the venue owners that will produce substantial concerns on their part about who is doing their karaoke show(s)?
B. How much help might we reasonable expect from Sound Choice, directly and/or indirectly?
C. How do we make a case to other legit KJ's that will get them to join in our efforts?
Specifically I've been asked:
1) when might SC initiate actions in our area?
2) what would be the legal status of a venue named by SC in one of their lawsuits if the accused KJ, particularly a "John Doe", immediately "disappears" and never gets served any supoena?
3) what is the situation for the venue if the KJ acknowledges guilt and settles up?
4) why would SC pursue KJ's who have discs when it would be much more fruitful to simply pursue KJ's who have absolutely no discs and/or multi-riggers who don't have discs for every rig?
And, if nothing else, my associates are concerned that if we are trying to convince other KJ's who we know own discs to join us in our efforts, we don't want scare them off because they may realize that they are not exactly 1:1.
We believe that if someone is substantially invested in a library of discs that they should feel comfortable joining in with us and should not become concerned about raising their profile because they may not exactly be 1:1 themselves.
Isn't the real problem those who got their libraries on loaded HD's for not much more than the cost of the drive itself?
