Post subject: | Chartbuster Logo on DT |
as we are splitting legal hairs now, i went last night and bought "sugar Daddy" from the Bellamy Brothers and there, plain as day was the CB logo on screen. What does that mean for the liability? Does that mean that DT is infringing on the CB trademark (owned by PRLLC, no affiliation to DTE) for all these songs for commercial purposes (resale)? |

Maybe PR, LLC asked Digitrax pay $150 for an audit to show they were 1:1 and then granted them a covenant not to sue. -Chris |

Or maybe Digitrax is simply Chartbuster in Disguise? I once knew a guy who was busted by the IRS and now all of his assets are in his son's name. It happens all of the time. It's just a shell game but we should all trust Digitrax. |

Perhaps Digitrax entered into a licensing agreement with PR LLC. |

maybe, but i thought he said there was no affiliation between the companies. either way it is odd to buy Digitrax with a Digitrax opening logo on a Chartbuster track with Chartbuster grapgics and Chartbuster logos throughout the track. |

DT and PR are affiliated entities. PR owns the Chartbuster Karaoke trademarks and uses them by licensing them to others. My understanding was that DT would not be selling CB-branded tracks going forward because DT is focused on building its own brand. If that has changed, it was changed without my knowledge. DT is not my client, so I don't have all of the details on what they are doing. I can assure you, however, that if DT is selling CB-branded tracks, it is not an infringement. |

As for the topic of this thread...probably just a mistake. File was probably just missed when converting the Chartbuster tracks to DT format. |

I've gotten All Star tracks that have both a Karaoke Cloud opening screen on them followed by CB graphics and rarely even a CB opening screen. It has been mentioned that Digitrax has been gradually renewing the licensing on the CB tracks bit by bit. It isn't something that really worries me but it does make for a bit of wondering should audits come into play. For those who like to know what they are singing to I put the manu codes in my books. So I've been wondering if I know an All Star track is a CB/Cloud or a Pocket Songs or a Sunfly if I should put CB in my books instead of ASK for the singer's benefit--but really if I were to get audited the tracks should be listed as ASK. Not a big deal to me but it does get confusing. |
