They have had that stated on their website for the last few months at least about not producing any more songs.

Due to the extreme level of piracy by consumers and commercial karaoke hosts we are not able to record and release new music and make a profit. If you would like new music from Sound Choice, please don’t steal, and discourage others from acquiring our karaoke music without paying us for it. If you are a singer who enjoys going to shows, encourage your host to “Get Legit or Quit” – over 90% of karaoke hosts have not paid for some or all of their music, which means we are not able to produce the Sound Choice quality products which most of you prefer. If you suspect that your host is not legit, report it to us – stealing hurts you, the legitimate hosts, and Sound Choice and its employees and their families. Hopefully, with your help, we can turn the tide and return to producing the best quality karaoke music in the industry.

No surprise here. Except for an EXTREMELY limited release ( 750 units?) of a single disc in 2009, they haven't been in production since 2007- almost five years.

Since they made a good product, it's certainly a loss to the industry. On the other hand, who can blame them?

A settlement is what- $7500 bucks? How many man hours would have to go into marketing, production, and sales to move enough discs to match that? Even when they do, the profit margin would be MUCH less. Here they can get a forced sale of GEM discs ( or not, it doesn't really matter, as the settlement's the same) with no marketing or sales man-hours to worry about. Just ten settlements = $75,000.00!! Does anyone really believe they are going to give up that income source to push CDs again?

IMHO, that part of SC's operations is a done deal.

So here is the question, If SC were to add their product to the KJMP drive, yould you buy? If you were not considering the KJMP, would the expanded library make you reconsider? I already own the KJMP drive and would love for SC to come on board regardless if they never make new music.

My understanding is that SC is (or was a few months ago) evaluating releasing their content on the KJMP product.

I agree with others, they could make money off this and have a very small investment.

At the moment, I'm on the boarder...

Not as small as you might think. I'm sure that there are some licensing issues that they would have to deal with.... like licensing (again) to be distributed in a digital format... unlike the discs in their gem series that had a 30-song limitation.

They cannot just plop them on a drive and start selling.

Common sense says " no return, no investment".

Being a business , IF ( everyone understands "if" right?) the market viability returns . I'm sure SC would love to produce music again.

I haven't seen any indication that viability is returning. Have you?

Only an irrational person would expect ANY business to lose money on something that has proven to be a bad risk.
