Karaoke Forums

Ever wish there was a single web site you could go to and search a database of every known karaoke track ever made and instantly find the song you're looking for and where to legally get it?

Well, we're building it now... ...stay tuned

@Brian A, I've been using Karma since the first of the year, and love it. I was using Show Presenter (Sax & Dottys), and Karma is lightyears ahead.

It's with great regret that I have to announce that due to the completely unfair practices of the music publishers in this country, the iCroons.com project will have to be abandoned indefinitey. We tried to play fair and offer KJs a simply source for legally purchasing and downloading MP3+G content, but evidently, even linking to sites in other countries is something that will invite a lawsuit. You KJs need to really understand how absolutely ruthless the music publishers are in this country. They are the reason that Sound Choice can't offer downloads and had to sell out their catalog to the karaoke channel in Canada, the reason why Digitrax can only offer music rentals, and the reason why over in the UK they're doing so well because they don't have the level of greed and complexity that exists with publishers in this country. That being said, although I can't legally promote piracy, I can give an opinion on the matter, and that opinion is that until the music publishers of this country play on a level playing field, I personally have no problem with the thought of KJs downloading millions of karaoke songs for free every day. Why wouldn't they? It's the easiest route and the music publishers frankly deserve it for their lack of vision and their lack of caring about the people who would want to legally purchase their content here in the U.S., and they refuse to offer a simplified system like they have over in the U.K.. I don't have the resources to influence congressmen or fight them in court. In fact, the entire American karaoke industry combined doesn't have the resources. All I can do is to inform you KJs of what the situation really is and let you decide for yourselves.

iCroons is dead in the water. This from Latshaw's Facebook Page.

I need to clarify that when I say "music publishers", I'm not referring to the karaoke producers who make the karaoke music and CDs. I'm talking about the publishers that represent the record labels and original artists. So, the greed is not in the karaoke industry. The American karaoke song makers like Sound Choice and Chartbuster would LOVE to offer inexpensive downloads. They just can't, and the American music publishers are completely to blame because they have the karaoke makers hands tied by not allowing them to offer downloads like they do in other countries.

im with you, but i guess this is the end of the working together with Kurt. I can't see them playing nicely after that satatement.

The next time someone says that this is the greatest country in the world, I am going to kick them in the teeth.

Smoothedge69 – This is the greatest country in the world. !!!

Now you can kick me in the teeth. Oh no, wait, I ain’t got none. Let me take my dentures out first. (just trying to make light of the situation. hope you're not offended).
