I think the problem with soundchoice is the US laws and problems with making a legal karaoke product means that most of the cost of producing and selling a karaoke disk is legal and royalties. The result is that the company that makes legal karaoke will begin to be domininated by lawyers and bookeepers not musicians. That is where the knowledge is needed for running a company most effectively (from the profit point of view) because that is where the costs are.
Unfortunately with a company balance sheet (and Board of dirrectors) dominated by legal/royalty issues dealing with making of the product, then they may begin to use their knowledge for other aspects of the business such as piracy.
What we have is a company that was forced to look at the market as a leagal environment. They have chosen to deal with the problem of piracy using thier training which is dominated by a legal and bookeeping viewpoint. Certainly it is a lot easier to make money by suing a pirate (many are so obvious) than actually making a product.
