A.) you would be reported to Stingray, and they would have the option of filing suit against you, OR B.) P.E.P would file a case against you, on behalf of Stingray!! Now, according to Jim, they have NEVER come across a KJ using a large amount of Stingray tunes.
We would not be suing "on behalf of" Stingray, and I did not state or imply that we would. We would sue on the basis of the unauthorized use of our trade dress (which Stingray is authorized to use, but not for commercial use), on our own behalf.

And your show cause motion in the circuit court (located in District 7) for trade dress fell just as flat as your trademark efforts did. Going to appeal the trade dress ruling against PEP in District 7 as well, or are you going to leave that one unchallenged?

The motion was denied without prejudice because the judge wanted to see additional evidence comparing the tracks in use to our tracks. It was not denied outright, and we're preparing to file it again as the judge requested. (By the way, it's U.S. District Court, specifically for the Northern District of Illinois, which is a constituent court of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. I'm not surprised that you lack the ability to grasp factual details, but more effort on your part would go a long way.)

How long has your contingency-only local lawyer had a law license?

If you want to get all persnickety, I can do that too: it's U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division so don't pontificate to me about "factual details."

How long has your contingency-only local lawyer had a law license? I guess you skipped over the word "additional." We presented quite a bit of evidence regarding the defendant's violation of the injunction (an injunction he specifically agreed to, by the way). The judge wanted to see a frame-by-frame comparison of the defendant's tracks with our tracks so he could see precisely what was going on. That's not something we anticipated needing. We're happy to provide it, but it takes time to prepare.

For closer to $2 a track, you own it, and have the rights to sell it.
You aren't comparing apples to apples there. You can sell your license. It has value. OR you could pay that license for twenty years (long after they are obsolete; probably sooner) and it would STILL be cheaper than "owning" the exact same songs at $2 a track. Unless you are under the foolish notion that Karaoke CD's are heirlooms that will be handed down for generations.
