Lone Ranger,
I am curious , over the years with all of the karaoke manufactures who have never licensed their songs or even tried to to any degree. You seem to have a high disdain for a company that did in fact pay royalties. Are you okay with the part of your library where the companies never tried? If so then I really do not see where you have anything to say...

Plus if you did not purchase your library through manufacturers or distributors, you know it's only a matter of time before the third party lawyers that bring these suits for the publisher's turn their attention to the host. And I imagine the host that can't show that they at least thought they purchased there product by legitimate means.........well lets just say I can't wait to see your post when that happens..............

I so much enjoyed November, when you weren't posting.
When you're doing stuff just to get a rise out of your "opponents," it's no fun for those of us who are trying to find out what's going on.

The claims against KTS were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice following a settlement with KTS's insurance company. The complaint against SC remains unresolved.

8) I think we find out more by getting a response from the other side than just relying on that which they choose to tell us. Unless you put them on the spot and try to show that their position has some problems with it, all you are ever going to get from them is the spin. Do you think our government would ever tell us the truth unless there were reporters getting responses from them? Asking probing questions. For example do you think we would ever know that the war in Vietnam was going against us unless we had news coverage? The reason the current wars have dragged on so long is there isn't the same level of raw footage showing the battle night after night. The problem is some have grown so used to accepting anything Jim or Kurt put out without questioning it, that others that have a problem with their version of the truth are just trouble makers. They are invading the karaoke bubble.

8) The more I look at this situation the more I think it is a no win for SC no matter how it goes. If they lose their image is forever tarnished, if they win it further reinforces the fact that no matter how strong a piracy case is, it is hard to win in court. The best outcome would be an out of court settlement the details being kept secret. Of course Jim could always say the settlement was forced on them by their insurance company.

I think I've been very straightforward in answering questions on this site, when asked. If I can't comment, I say so. So I really don't understand why LR thinks the best way to deal with his lack of information is to make up something in order to force me to "correct the record," instead of simply asking questions.

Well, I understand it. It's because he has a lot of hate in his heart for SC, and what he is doing is what Nixon's CREEP (Committee to Re-Elect the President) used to call "ratf---ing." It doesn't have to be true, in fact it's better if it isn't true, because the purpose is to misinform, not enlighten.

Wow, Lone Ranger, I believe you just displayed how biased you are. Couldn't it be that if Sound Choice wins that it shows that they did license things in a legal manner? But I don't see you throwing that scenario out there.

LR, your comments have earned you an "ignore." You've decided that when you don't have facts, you'll just make them up. I don't have time to try to keep up with your imagination.


Sorry if I am being redundant AND repetitive ( :lol: ), but does it actually say somewhere in the available court documents that "KTS did not want to settle"?

I wonder where the second E in the CREEP acronym comes from: is it the second or third E in RE-ELECT or the E in THE ? :o :lol:

Probably not, but we don't need your "National Enquirer" version of this information. so maybe it's time to shut your trap unless you have some real facts instead of your piss poor interpretation of other peoples statements on this or any other forum.

man, you're more of a waste of skin than Chip is.

I would say the media or the original organization put it in because it sounds so much better than CREP would and gives it a certain slant.

As for LR, I guess he never heard the axiom "It's better to keep your mouth shut and thought a fool than to open it and prove it."

Yes. They filed a motion to that effect, to try to prevent the insurance company from settling.

Charming. It's it really necessary to take shots at Chip? What is the matter with you?

It's Easy to take shots at someone like him. He was absolutely worthless when he was on this forum. In fact, he was the Jerry Springer of this forum (constantly stirring the Sh#t in the pot). My opinion of Chip was common among many people on this forum (Which is probably why he was banned in the first place) and he is a good example of this sort of Crap. It's not my fault that he pissed off so many people that he got banned.

I rarely put in my 2 cents in this forum, but LR acts more and more like Chip everyday that he is here and I'm Probably not the only one who thinks so.

Piss off if you don't like my opinion of your husband. He made his reputation. Now he has to live with it. The same will eventually be true of LR if he doesn't stop making unsubstantiated statements in this forum.

Whatever. All you do is make yourself look like a total donkey's behind when you take shots at someone who isn't even here to defend himself. There were far more people who appreciated Chip's participation in this forum, along with the proof he backed it up with. Piss off yourself.

You mean much the same way that "he who shall be named" brings me up in the Old Jolters Forum on Facebook? Not to mention that he posts inaccurate information and assumptions as well.

The difference is that I left the Old Jolters forum on my own instead of getting the boot and I don't feel I need to ask to re-join just to correct his misinformation. I also don't have anyone popping in on my behalf to do it for me.

First, there are a couple of entire threads devoted just little old to me at the "other place" and I'm not even a member! (one of them
thanks to Chris Avis (the avid writer) )

Second, I now get a complete "debate style" named after me?

All I can say is that I'd like to thank the academy.. and all the little people that made this what it is today.....

and so on...

and so on....

So let me see if I have this straight...you left the Old Jolters, and yet...you can't seem to look away. I do have to agree...Chip is a compelling guy.
