In one case a KJ that settled and agreed not to run karaoke was caught and ruled against.

In the other using a remote server was found to be infringing at trial

2 issues that some said SC never would take to court resolved.

KJFlorida, In The second case did you read the part about giving both parties 14 days to work things out? Doesn't look like a win yet.

These people should have never settled. The fell into the Sound Choice trap and signed a legal agreement to quit the business. That is the only thing that the court is upholding. They settled for that agreement because they thought that they were going to have to pay more if it ever got to court. So far, no one has been found guilty of Trademark Infringement in a court of law, for simply transferring their music to a PC. I'm still waiting to see that case end up in court. Judges have already called it a shakedown series of law suits....but nice try Pom Pom girl.

mrmorag yes I did read the time to "work things out" that does not however remove the legal precedent that was set by this ruling

PomPom Girl ? brucefan4life is this your way of trying to call me a *)%%& ?
and if you read the judgement against "the Couches" it states very clearly that the copying is infringing on the trademark and that was at trial

kjflorida, please do not confuse Bruce with facts. It is common for a judge to tell the parties to come to an agreement, and if not, the judge will do it. They do this in the hopes of freeing up court time. And for those who do understand what a "reserved judgement" is, it is just the time a judge takes to make a judicial decision. It could be either to find guilt or innocence or in the case of guilt, what the punishment will be.

Just keep throwing more and more fear up against the wall and keep praying that some of it will stick.

thousands of pirates out there and after years and years, they brag about getting one scared soul to cave in to the pressure. What a success story!

Yup, in that case, the Judge, when asked for a 40K settlement for SC, replied "not happening". The way I read this is that the Judge is letting SC try for what they can, but if they fail, he probably won't award anything. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that the defendant was sharp enough to catch on....

He said..."The way I read this is"......you've gotta be able to read between the lines..... .....didn't they teach you that in Law School......

To be clear, the part that Joe made up was this:

Cue the theme music!

Anyone can order copies of the transcripts and see every word said. A written request and a credit card or money order to pay the per page cost is all it takes.

Yup, correct.
