Big Joe,
This is the part where he plays stupid.... (plays?)
And exactly what would that be?
I'm not going to copy and paste so he can see it. As far as I'm concerned, you snooze, you lose. He made his bed and now he can lie in it. He chose to put you on ignore, so that means he misses out on the good AND the bad. Touch luck, Thunder! LOL
Yes, by all means just overlook the insideous spread of piracy and pretend that it doesn't affect you or is not an issue "worthy" of you doing anything about it - however little an action it might be.
"In Germany, [the Nazis] first came for the Communists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me – and by that time no one was left to speak up." –Martin Niemoller .
The industry was certainly headed in a direction where it would be irreparably harmed. A situation was being created where ALL the manufacturers could no longer support doing any new music and there was no one fighting to stop the spread of $300 hard drives loaded with everyone's back catalogs and most legitimate KJs were driven out of business leaving only the low quality $50-a-night KJs. One could forsee a situation where singers stopped coming because of poor quality shows with no new music and bars stopped using karaoke as a "draw" because EVERY bar had it and the "uniqueness" of it was gone..
Well, I am pleased to say that on behalf of my own company and the remaining loyal customers who have begged and pushed for something to be done for years, we finally "spoke up" and are doing something about the situation. EVen if it is not "perfect". And I recognize that there will be those who benefit from the positive actions of others who will never acknowledge the benefits they receive because of the risks of others. I recognize that that is human nature - there will always be parasites willing to live off the efforts of others while even criticising the same efforts they are benefitting from.

I can name one who asked for an audit before receiving a letter of intent: ME.
Haven't even been investigated yet.
You are so full of yourself you don't even see how ignorant your post are!

Might want to work on the current business model a bit....:winkpill:
A place to debate everything and anything!
