That is one of the claims that they are suing for, Lon.Lonman said:Only other thing I could think of is they were using sound clips/previews which is what got karaoke.com in trouble a while back.
Exhinits A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,and I specifically identify the particular copyrights owned or administered by Plaintiff contained on the unlicensed brands of karaoke recordings identified as "CHARTBUSTER," "KARAOKE KLUB," "BACKSTAGE," "NUTECH PARTY PACKS," "MUSIC MAESTRO," "MAGIC TRACKS," "U-BEST," "FIESTA KARAOKE" and "HOT STUFF," which have been unlawfully advertised, distributed and sold by the BLUE MOON Defendants. While the manufacturer of the "CHARTBUSTER" brand of karaoke discs obtained a license from the Plaintiffs effective April 1, 2010, all distribution of the CHARTBUSER products prior to April 1, 2010 was unauthorized, unlicensed and constituted infringement of the Plaintiffs' exclusive right of distribution.
Diafel said:I have the complaint also. I would think that the best thing to do is to download and read the Exhibits to determine if they were properly licensed. However, I don't want to pay the extra for it. Anyone else?
Going through the complaint, the relief they are seeking specifically excludes the CHARTBUSTER tracks listed in Exhibit I, so I'm not sure what that's in reference to.

Lonman said:Looks to me like they were creating thier own discs or products using the mentioned manus - maybe SCDG's. Unfair competition is brought up several times.
Interesting they only sell Chartbuster discs/packs at this time.
Lonman said:There has to more to it than that, otherwise every karaoke retailer would be in violation and why would they go after a little pi$$ ant company over the major internet karaoke retailers. I just believe there is more to it then selling specific karaoke manu discs with songs owned by this record company - that every karaoke retailer sold/sells.

possumdog said:Maybe she didn't want to spoil all of our fun speculating. We do it so well.
A place to debate everything and anything!
