"We will enlighten you on this racketeering scam". I guess they are keeping it in the RICO vein.

Just read the document on Pacer. Karaoke Kandy Store aka Light Year Music just won a jury decision against Slep-Tone. A jury unanimously decided that their was no Trademark Infringement in this case. What you talkin' bout Willis?

Someone must have removed whatever it was that you posted. I tend to believe you're right on the money on this one and I don't have to call someone to verify what you're posting. If a Jury has finally decided that media shifting, and maybe even out and out piracy of the Sound Choice product, still isn't considered Trade Mark infringement; then I guess Sound Choice will be looking for "PLAN C" to try to make some money without having to produce any new karaoke tracks

I just wish someone who has a pacer account would provide the documents for this verdict here and on the Free Forum for everyone to see. If this verdict could be confirmed it would go a long way to putting every hosts fears about the manus to rest. It would also prove beyond a doubt that a big scam has been worked on the karaoke community for the last 4 years.

I did manage to find some links that back up the claim that SC did indeed lose a jury trial to Light Year Music aka The Kandy Store.

I'm having trouble posting the proper link for documents of the decision, they are posted on the Free Forum, however, under the thread PRLLC and Digitrax Audits page 3. It was posted by Insane KJ.

This is the best I could converting the PDF to text. But you get the point ...
