Many of my KJ buddies are dropping SC from the playlist..

If I had any, I would too..

Anyone is welcome to cross any lines out of an agreement before signing. Don't like something, simply cross it out.

Sound choice rocks.

I can do that using my Goldenhawk software. It's time consuming and a lot of trial and error, but I can do it. In fact, I did it with 1 particular track from my "Hair" disc. I merged "Black Boys" and "White Boys" together as 1 song, and managed to remove the SC log and title intro to the 2nd song. You have to do it by specifying the Sector range when you are reading the CDG and then burning it to another disc.[/quote]

But sometimes they throw the logo in the middle of a song during an instrumental section. EDIT/CDG software could probably change the RED in the logo to Black and that would create a solid black screen. I'm sure someone will figure it out sooner or later.

AVI files would be easy...

Incorrecct, Timberlea- or I should say, depends on the lawyer- that's why I said hire a GOOD one. Only the shysters will charge for the services mentioned. A good lawyer knows A: Whether your case is valid and whether to expect a win, and B: will ONLY except the case if they think it's valid. The shyster will take any case ( whether he thinks it's valid or not), and charge for those fees.

Harrassment, Extortion, Loss of Income due to either an image tarnish or because the venue "just didn't want the hassle", etc....., plus any media that published the suit incorrectly.

I am no lawyer either, but no way the judge orders your hard drives over to sound choice for inspection... Only songs that were allegedly played and being sued for will be addressed by a real judge, "YES YOUR HONOR, THOSE SONGS WERE PLAYED BY ME AND ARE ON MY SYSTEM AND HERE ARE MY ORIGINAL DISCS...".

I did a bit more followup with a couple of attorney's I know. They had mixed feelings on several things related to the case. This was just a very informal discussion I had with the two of them so these are just their instincts, not formal legal opinions, but...

Both attorneys agreed that Sound Choice could certainly ask the court to see the contents of your hard drive. The lady attorney's theory was that the KJ being examined could try to avoid discovery by claiming to have proprietary information on their hard drive which could hurt their business if revealed. The male attorney countered that a good judge would then examine the hard drive in his chambers to determine what exact proprietary information the KJ were claiming to have and to determine whether or not this revelation really would hurt their business sufficiently to outweigh the other party's right to discovery -- not very likely in his opinion -- but again this was all just informal discussion.

The two attorneys also had different views of the validity of the trademark infringement theory with the lady being of the mind that the case was rather iffy while the guy felt that trademark law generally offered stronger protection than copyright law.

I'd love to see some transcripts from some of these cases -- pretty interesting stuff being bandied about there and a bit hard to say how it's all going to come out...
