I would bet that PEP/SC is playing the odds just like most KJ's are. Risk:Reward

So all anyone is doing here is gambling? They are betting they won't get caught the hosts as well as PEP? Seems rather strange that this whole system is built on a foundation of sand, and any type of shift in the in the substructure brings the whole house down. Retirement is looking better every day.

Exactly. My point was a round about to the same conclusion.

To those still wondering, PEP takes itself off the hook for any further actions someone may get in to for playing stolen Stingray tracks in their small print. Don't forget that this also means the original copyright holders have a claim as well, since they were not compensated based off of a good sale.

hmmm....
so if someone gets caught playing Stingray BRANDED tracks, they will get reported to Stingray because that's bad.
if they play SC Branded Stingray tracks, they get a license and hush hush...

Has anyone contacted Stingray about this issue? Would be interesting to hear if they have some kind of deal with PEP and the HELP 'license' that prevents them from suing PEP for complicity in copyright infringement or something else.

Why don't you ask Putin!

He loves karaoke and loves to sing when riding his horse bare chested. It brings out the man in him.

PS Rumor has it that Putin is working on adding a subliminal message to every SC song ever made and release them to the torrent sites as 540 kbps HD . The message will chant over and over and over, in your head when you sleep, these words "after my election I will have more flexibility" with "Back to the USSR" playing in the background. I guess Putin loves yoga too!

OMG, I just took my own advice and sent Putin a secret message via a decoder ring I got in a specially marked box of Cracker Jack. He has been hacking the Kingsmen's emails for years and he shared with me the REAL lyrics of "Louie Louie". He sure does love karaoke.

Of course I'm sworn to secrecy, but I have the real lyrics and that's good enough for me. He also said he is working on hacking SC/PEP's emails and getting the real scoop. I'll keep everyone informed when I get more...... if I'm still around

So I decided to press Putin a little harder and he swears he had nothing to do with interfering with our election, but he disclosed to me that he has started buying pants suits for his wife...... which to me is rather suspicious and troubling

Business is business. What Pep does with Stingray is none of our business.

except that the whole GEM series you use is filled with all Stingray tracks...

Well technically they weren't Stingray tracks when the GEM's were initially created and if I recall there was a 'relicensing' from Stingray to create the GEMS.

For which Stingray was paid the agreed-upon royalty.

Putin just texted me and said he had hacked into SC emails (pre-PEP) and he does verify that the GEMS are legit! He sure does love karaoke. He wants to make sure that it survives. Singing "Back To USSR" is what keeps him going strong.

i was pointing out that what PEP does with Stingray IS our business if someone want's to use them.

NewsFlash.... CNN has just uncovered that 2 sets of GEMS were included as part of the the Uranium One deal. This is big news! Talk about collusion!!!!!

I would categorize that as another lie because I wouldn't believe that unless I saw a canceled check. The "asset switcheroo" is a perfect method to dispense with any "agreed-upon royalty" liability payable by "Sleptone."
