From the Digitrax website: Quote: Custom CD+G Builder Download and burn your own CD+G discs using Power Karaoke. Create your own mixes and custom playlists for your big night out! It sounds like they are encouraging their customers to bring their homemade burns to our shows. Personally, I don't have a problem with that. I'm wondering though, if any of you who are down on customer burns will change your policy now that the new Chartbuster is recommending it? |

Any person of average intelligence would not interpret that as; Quote: Create your own mixes and custom playlists for your big night out! (for personal, non-commercial use only) It sounds to me like DT is simply flipping off the publishers by selling tracks that can be burned to disc -creating secondary copies- and played commercially. I wonder if the permission to do that comes with a covenant not to sue? Or, since it appears to be the same tracks that were always sold by chartbuster, I wonder if Piracy Recovery, LLC will sue for the trade dress if the KJ doesn't have specific permission. My, my... what a sticky web... |

I will not change my stance. I see no reason to play customer content at all in my scenario. Just no demand for it. -Chris |

originals are originals, burns are burns. i don't know where they got them from, once downloaded to disc they can burn to their hearts content as well as share between themselves just like they do now. i have so many home singers with loaded drives htey share between each other and try to give me, i dont see this any different. i will still not allow them. i will not jump up and down waving a disc in the air announcing it is a real disc and not a song from my system while i play a DT song with the investigator sitting there for me to have to defend a lawsuit by saying "it was a disc, not mine". |

So, I'd like to hear Harrington's view on this method of distribution and how this will affect his investigative teams when they see burns or perhaps flashdrives brought in by customers? |

No burns or flashdrives at my shows either, but my reasoning has nothing to do with legalities. I'm just to lazy to use anything other than my software and don't want to have to add the files to my database on the fly. |

Not an original disc, not being played at my show. No flash drives. |

I don't have a problem playing any burns AS LONG AS the burn is NOT either a Sound Choice or now, a Chartbuster trademark. That will also include any "digitrax" trademark as well and here why: Harrington has explained that BOTH digitrax and piracy recovery are related - possibly the same set of investors that own both entities and/or some type of agreement between the two. One half of the entity wants to cultivate customers while the other produces no product, but sues people using the same tracks that digitrax wants to sell. Do you see a problem here? Sorry, but those are the kind of ethics I wouldn't trust.... ever. The whole bit of Piracy Recovery, LLC hiding the principals' names behind a registered agent law firm really has to make you wonder what they could possibly be hiding for or -- why they are hiding at all. SC doesn't have a problem with the world knowing who they are, why does this piracy recovery act differently? I smell another rat..... and it smells like the old chartbuster rat. |
