Sound Choice said:I don't know if you are really that arrogant or that clueless to be admitting running and trying to promote such a scheme in a public forum. But thanks, it makes my lawyer's job that much easier.

Big Joe said:I'm not sure your lawyers job is all that difficult to begin with. To many of your detractors here, it seems that all your lawyer is doing is printing up and inserting names on a form letter, stuffing it into an envelope, putting a stamp on and mailing it.
Once I actually see someone in a court room, I will change my perception of your tactics and intentions pertaining to these lawsuits. Your back and forth with potential defendents in a public forum leave me shaking my head and wondering as well. The lines here have obviously been clearly drawn, sides on this have been chosen. I would think that you would be more concerned with positive promotion of your product, as opposed to taunting your potential defendents. That seems to be already taken care of here at no charge.
Thunder said:Big Joe,
Wait a minute! Wasn't it nutz who stated that he had contacted SC and everything was all straightened out? It would appear from the response that he was incorrect on that assumption!
Nigel put his "process" online on his website for all to see, do you believe that maybe that was just a little arrogant?
What I described in my response to nutz was actual fact, I do have personal knowledge of it because I was one of the parties involved! So it isn't a he said she said issue!
As far as a case making it to court, watch carefully the Virginia, there will be at least one "NUT" who will fulfill that for you!
Sound Choice said:We get requests to put our content into "dummy automated systems" all the time, but we are firm believers that a GOOD host can really make a difference in a show and generate enough additional revenue to pay for themselves compared to the money the bar hopes to save.
Sometimes you have to ask yourself, "What business am I in and what is my function?" If you are just "playing songs", yes, you can be replaced with an automated jukebox (almost) but if you are an entertainer that engages the audience and provides encouragement and strokes your singer's' egos and gets them coming back each week or suggest songs that would make them sound better because they're better suited to their range or style, etc., YOU can't be replaced by a jukebox.
Karl Langford said:I keep getting emails from Karaoke king. I forwarded the email to Sound Choice and not even a thank you return email.
I finally told the guy I did it and he said he didn't care, He doesn't sell SC. Even if that was the case, he is doing something illegal and I thought I would pass it on to the ones I hear are trying to fix the problem.
I guess expecting a return email as a thanks was my fault.
Sound Choice said:Illegal as HE##! Unless he has obtained rights from publishers and the karaoke producers. Which, I know he has not. As I keep saying "just because you can do something technically, does not mean you have the rights to do so legally."
JoeChartreuse said:Excellent post. They tried automated systems around here awhile back- the big red cavs style jukebox with mics, cash operated, with some effects as well.... No go.
Crappy sound, and no one with the expertise to improve it. All singers set up the pretty much the same way.
Any tech problem and the night is over.
No rotation control- meaning mic hogs, meaning altercations. Also one bad singer all night to drive out patrons- or even one or good ones doing the same through monotony.
No one to help with the confidence problems of new singers, or answer questions.
No energy builder/mood enhancer.
In short, no good host.
Lots of dust on those things now. Not ONE success in the area in a public venue..

Jon Tuck said:Okay Im going to ask only once. do not use this site to name folks as it is not a legal site. We dont hold any legal rights to pirates or legit Karaoke folks. Kurt shame on you naming a name in this forum. I will ask only once that it doesn't happen again.

It is public information!
Manobeer said:Kinda like selling karaoke tracks and giving licensees permission to DUPLICATE those tracks without getting permission from the ORIGINAL artists/copyright holders to allow said digital duplicates.
But telling the purchaser that they only have permission to duplicate the TRADEMARK, and that the original copyright holder "probably" wont go after them must make it legal.
A place to debate everything and anything!
