Karaoke Forums

Just an aside, because you folks are talking about advertising:

I used to advertise my shows on places like http://www.karaokelistings.com, but no longer am allowed. I also used to advertise in Stepping Out Magazine, the local entertainment mag, but since they are also online, I am no longer allowed. ALL of my venues have told me that at this point I can only do direct E-mails and texts. Why? SC- that's why. I tell them until I'm blue in the face that I only use original mfr's. discs in my shows, and they are safe. They don't care. SC has made enough of a PITA of themselves that they have heard, and want no waves. Yes, they are being ridiculous. Yes, there is no effect on me so far. However, this is one of the major reasons that I am anti-SC methodology. They do more harm then good- continously.

8) Speaking just from my own personal situation I don't feel the need to send out 1,000 invites a week, I have never felt the need or have the skill to setup a web site. Despite all of that I have more work than I can handle and sometimes I have to hand of gigs to other hosts, I still count my friends, since I have known them many years. We all help each other out, this is a hard concept for some hosts to accept. Things have changed in the industry and not all for the best. Lonman you think my idea of advertising a struggling show is far fetched, I have seen it work with some venues, once they promoted the karaoke more aggressively it was successful. Sometimes you can over do the promotion and have so many singers show up they don't have a good time and never come back to the show. The magic number at least for me seems to be over 22 singers, once that happens then they get on the cell phones and start looking for another place.

WT???
Did that new forum advertising get out of hand and go crazy?

Are the prices of your gigs going up while the price of the Gem series is going down?.... Doesn't that mean anything to you?

If you only knew!

if you can not say, why the "neener neener....i know something you dont know"?
that's just not cool, and there was no name calling homeskillet

Yep it seems that WOS has the inside track on everything!!!
But refuses to tell, which tells me he really don't know!!!

Why would your venues have a problem with SC if the advantage to be legal would be in the venues best interest? If the venue is using a kj with discs then what is the problem? Sounds like the venues have recieved bad info. In my market where SC and CB have both filed suits, venues have used that info for their atvantage.

He's done that about three times and all in response to C. Staley in different threads in the last few days. Funny -- it seems to be aimed at the one person who couldn't give a rat's hiney.

What exactly is it that you think we're selling, Wall? Pictures of discs?

Hey Cue -- did you get your discs that you bought? Are they real? Diafel -- weigh in when you get yours, okay?

Update: Now speaking from First-hand knowledge, Not a single KJ in my area- including the definite pirate that I mentioned- has been affected in any way at all ( shutdowns or rate increases) since the sweep 3 months ago.

While I do not negate the experience of the Floridians, here in NJ it has been treated as what it is- frivolous litigation- as per my earlier prediction. In my area, litagation is an everyday occurrence. If the case isn't exceptionally strong ( and SC's is exceptionally weak) it's treated as the non-issue it is. People here are used to this sort of thing, and aren't going to be terrified by letters.

Now, that's the KJs. The venues might. However, if they are, and NJ KJs lose work because of it, the fun will truly start... Very rare for NJ folk to do a "ah... nevermind...".
