Karaoke Forums

With the exception of maybe, Danny, we all have something like that in our libraries--MM, Karaoke Bay, SGB, Dangerous, Quik Hitz et al and some songs from even well known brands that are rumored to be unlicensed product. A few of these I bought myself as I thought it was okay being from a major supplier and not just a Craigslist ad.

I don't feel "pure" enought to get rid of all suspects but now that I know more about the issue I am trying to avoid buying any more. And I would love to gradually replace them over time. All of this unlicensed product business may have even caused some artists to not want anything to do with karaoke which hurts us all. And even if it does turn out that the DK SCDGs are unlicensed but DK doesn't care, it still takes from the songwriters/original rights holders. So it is the seeming to not care who gets hurt as long as one doesn't get caught that is riling up people. On the other hand, alot of us will scorn some purchases than be happy to score a Dangerous set on the other. So I don't want to throw the first stone on this one--nor do I want to say, "Who cares, go for it.'

I just wish the whole karaoke business was cleaned up so that we knew what was legit and what wasn't. It seems impossible to get a clear answer so much of the time.

In that case, expect an email from my friend Joe Schmuckatelli. I hear he is trying to move what appears to be a full DK1-99 Set + Every Sound Choice disc ever made, and the Full Chartbuster Essentials 1-10 for a mere $1000. Great deal btw......every disc "looks" original.

I am trying to collect music that I need. I can't worry about all these cause you people are driving yourselves nuts over.

Right, and you do not give a rip - it's this attitude that is the core problem of this industry and what is literally killing it. So you no worry your little mind and do what you have to do!

Oh, thank you for your blessing, Lonnie.

Sorry Chris, I will have to, respectfully, decline. I do not want any more Sound Choice. But thanks for the consideration. Maybe i would reconsider if you Jewish/Italian friend were to add all the Party Tymes, All Star, Pocket Songs, PHM, THM, and every episode of every Star Trek show including all the movies. If he will offer all that for that same $1000 he has a deal!!!

Slight diversion from topic...

I have the Sunfly version of this (SF 042).

My GOSH! I could not agree more, PERIOD!!!...and I am being so very serious!

...For me (my opinion), to just go one LARGE & EXPENSIVE step further, would love to have one organization for U.S. Karaoke. An organization that tracks "EVERYTHING TO DO WITH KARAOKE" From tracking legit sells, to audits, to making sure any and all Karaoke Tracks are licensed for resell, to approved venues, to certification for all (Manufacturers, Venues, KJs, individual purchases, etc.). Even a "Checks & Balance" program (software) to compare a KJ's library, where he/she is playing, the KJ's updates, etc. No bias to one manufacturer or another.

....Thank you for posting what some of us truly want!!!

So again, I believe this to be a high quality 100% legal product. And If I find out otherwise from a source at DK, I will stop using it. I will NOT buy or use pirated, illegal products. But like I said, I need to hear it from the horses mouth, until then, I have what I believe is a 100% legal DK Millennium set.
