Even I don't HATE SC or Kurt. I hate what Kurt is doing. I hate what Jim is doing. I hate the fact that they have turned a fight over piracy into a cash cow where anyone who shifts their music to a computer is thought of as a pirate, first, and has to pay for their innocence. That is the problem here. That make the innocent PAY to remain innocent, OR they have to stay in the dark ages and use the damn discs until they are worn out garbage. It is shameful.

I’d like to do the same; attach a picture with a sign on the front of my song books - “Original Manufacturers’ Discs. Yes, we own all of our music…..etc.” Tho’ I don’t have over 6,000 I have 3,500 cds (1,440 sc’s) & a whole lot downloads from sbi, kv, sf & kc. Cheers! Attachment:

The sooner the music and movie producers realized that, the sooner they started making money again. Incorrect! Sell only encrypted downloads that need a dongle to play them. If you can hear it or see it, there is always a way to capture it to pirate if one were so determined - dongle or not. If it can be played, it can be captured. But in the case of encrypted files the pirated file could be traced back to the dongle, as it is adding part of the digital watermarking to the audio file. Of course this would only work with new files utilizing this type of DRM environment. So, for example, if Sound Choice were to produce new works they could implement this to help stave off new piracy. I don't think you understand what you are talking about. You are planning on watermarking analog audio?

I have had many off-forum phone conversations with some of those whose views on SC are completely opposed to mine, and have made some friends in the process. I also continually invite those whose views differ from mine ( and of course, those who agree) to call me. Any "hate" here on this forum seems to be minimal to almost nonexistent. I intentionally used a strong word to demonstrate just how intense and unwavering people are about this. The absolute inability to accept anything but ones own truth must be attributed to something. I attach it to hate in this case because it fits well with tone of the responses. The other words that fit well are stupidity and ignorance, both of which are the groundwork for hate.

Brian, how COULD you???? Disclaimer: I am being facetious. I am SURE you mean Karaoke Cloud. Relax. smooth KC as in karaoke cloud (dt). I know kchannel’s downloads are for private use only - according to their tos. Tho’ I no longer download dt tracks due to some unresolved issues, i.e., payment receipt accountability, redownload from your history & sample bit of tracks before purchase.

Brian, I was just wondering about what happened to you and here you are back. I'm glad you're back and that everything's ok with your wife.

From your post above: " The absolute inability to accept anything but ones own truth must be attributed to something." Am I to understand that you only apply this statement to people other than yourself? I would disagree, as I believe we all see truth through our own experience- that would include you. Therefore the words you tacked on (Hate, ignorance, and stupidity) are simply reactions to anyone not seeing "truth" through your eyes, and have no basis in fact. You described "SC Haters" and yet there is no evidence of any here. As for YOUR descriptions of ignorance and stupidity, it can be successfully argued that supporting a company whose only contributions to your own industry are negative might well be described in the same manner. It's certainly isn't logical.
