Karaoke Forums

I am assuming rights have not been granted to issue a karaoke version of this? Getting requests. Actually got off iTunes for a wedding processional but can't seem to find any *legal* copies with on-screen lyrics. Anyone have any input? Thank you!

Look outside of i-tunes, lots of legal karaoke sites out there.

Yeah, saw it there as well as buykaraokedownloads.com. My understanding is that these versions cannot be used *legally* in public but okay for home. Am I wrong? Have always kept a legal library.

Oops .... new to format ...anyway, I saw it on karaoke-version and buykaraokedownloads. My understanding is that songs on these sites cannot be used for public performances (KJ shows) without an official agreement from national music rights office...According to Karaoke-version, their site states:

. Use for public events

We are happy to allow the use of our soundtracks for public audiences and other performances.

However, we'd like to remind you that in order to be legally compliant, you must receive an official agreement from your national music rights management office (PRS For Music in the UK for example).

In the case of a non-commercial private event, use of soundtracks is, of course, allowed and unrestricted.

buykararaoke downloads is VERY questionable on the legal aspect, but karaoke-version is fine. As long as your club is paying their PRO fees is ASCAP, BMI & SESAC yearly fees. If they aren't paying those then ANYTHING you play is not legal!!! Just FYI!
