Any publisher will know exactly how many times the song they licence (for rental) is played....
For the Karaoke Cloud Pro service, I don't see how they can track plays unless 1) They force the use of a proprietary player or 2) Require that existing players link to some sort of API in their cloud service. Neither of which is a viable option in my opinion. I still do not believe that Karaoke Cloud Pro will ever get traction based on the information that we have so far from them. To the OP - Pay the bill. Do the right thing, and feel good that you have done your part. -Chris

K J A clarification, please. Reading the following from your post: "As I just settled a karaoke lawsuit based on not having permission for public performance for my legally owned cdgs" This gives me the impression that SC sued you for running a disc based show, not a PC based show. Is that correct? Also, they did so for public performance, not Trademark Infringement? Is that correct?

I am repeating my post again, for Darbykplace to respond. c. staley wrote: So let's see:
...
#2. He got sued - whether or not they were "mediashifted" was not specified...
#3. He's really caused them NO damage at all if he owns the discs and mediashifted.
#4. His "penalty" for purchasing their product and using it on (apparently) a computer was a lawsuit and a settlement...
darbykplace wrote: SC and I settled recently in Ohio. My case has no confidentiality agreement and... Since Darbykplace has stated that he is not under any type of gag ruling, and he can freely discuss his case, I'd like to see him post the details as to what took place, what was the settlement, and how much did this settlement cost him.

OK, but still wondering if a disc-based host was sued, and on what grounds....

I'm thinking it was a matter of they owned their discs but ran off computer, didn't certify and got hit.

doesn't give me that impression.... And rather than continuing to battle it out amongst ourselves over wordplay, I'm still waiting to see if Darbykplace is going to respond to my question about what happened.
