Lonman said:Not broad enough? It's SC entire selection (direct from SC) plus the list from Abraxa (SBI other brand)! And they aren't getting around US copyright laws.
Good luck in your search! I didn't see it in any of my hard to find disc sources.
c. staley said:They may not be "getting around US copyright laws" per se, but they certainly are avoiding properly licensing and paying the publishers what they are due otherwise, they'd simply sell them on net from the U.S. instead of halfway around the world right? The same is true with the Gem series which is "licensed" in the U.K. specifically to avoid paying the U.S. publishers for licensing here in the U.S. where they originally made them AND sell them.
The largest double-standard on the planet.
jclaydon said:you are mistaken. The copyright holders are recieving income from songs they wouldn't have gotten anything from if the were tried to be sold directly from the states because those same copyright holders won't ALLOW them to be used for karaoke.
To the best of my knowledge the copyright holder for the lyrics still gets paid, its just that in places like the uk liscensing deals with both in a fairer manner. *For examble when zoom produces a karaoke track thev own ALL the rights to that track for each copy that they pay for*
The bottom line is the copyright holders are still getting paid.

In an effort to bring back more “out of print” Sound Choice titles that had been discontinued due to expired licenses or low
sales, our UK branch is licensing the songs through MCPS (which is easier and less expensive than US publishers....)
A place to debate everything and anything!
