Yes, I get the concept. I just found it hilarious that Joe thought the guy was stupid for just not pirating some other brand, instead. As the thread topic specifies that we are talking about pirates and not just a host who is dropping brands to protest, I can't think that Joe presumed the guy would have just gone out and paid for 10s of thousands of replacements. And what if the guy did only delete the two brands and still had 5 or 6 other versions of the same title--the people were still complaining that he no longer had what they liked to sing.

You have to understand that in some areas, for quite some time, pirates promoted that they had EVERY Sound Choice available because they felt it made them look good to have what people perceived as being the best. Suddenly they are without the product that they themselves had been promoting as a superior library.

Well, that wasn't because they deleted SC or CB, it was because they didn't replace the tracks with other brands. They were stupid, and it cost them the show. Nothing to do with deletion of BRAND, but lack of replacements.



Am I missing an attempt at humor here? Darn stupid pirates should have stolen some other brand to replace the stolen songs that they were afraid to use anymore?

But what if there wasn't another brand that had those songs?

And yes, they were stupid. They were pirates.


Mimi, I'm kind of amazed, as I figured that you knew me better- guess not. The thread was about what would happen if 2 brands were eliminated from a library. What would be the difference if your competition was pirate or legit????. All I said was that the songs produced by these 2 brands can be replaced - without stealing them- with other brands.

Also, please note my COMPLETE answer. What other KJs or real Karaoke Hosts have in their library is of absolutely no concern to me, because I am SKILL- not library- dependent. Any idiot can go out and buy a library, and any idiot can go out and buy equipment. Therefore, the only real selling point involves neither, but rather my own abilities.

Those without the skills to be a real Karaoke Host will fail, and those with the skills will flourish- regardless of what others can buy.

How you got to a point where you could say that I condoned pirating the other manufacturers' tracks is completely beyond me. Where did that come from?

True that!
KJ is FAR more than the tracks... my brother has a CRAP collection... and he has no problems. Sometimes cuts the mids out of a normal track and hands over a mic.

I will not be at a huge loss for requests if cutting out SC and CB because when i do my search i see SF, MM ect... and with a drunken crowd and killer dance music, who cares? (aside from the picky ones that i would want to leave anyways) I am going to give the no SC or CB thing a try and see where it leads this week!
