Bobcox,
Wow what Totalitarian country do you live in?
In my country someone would have to make an accusation that I am violating copyright. Then Police would need to investigate, obtain a warrant to examine my system and decide if charges could be laid.
Let's say the singer has bought a disk from Company X and I have transferred a song to the HD for him.
Only Company X can file a copyright complaint. Not a reseller, not another singer, not anyone.
No one can confiscate my equipment, that would be summary justice at best and theft at worst.
What is the difference between copying the song every week to my HD and copying it once to my HD so that singer can sing it once a week?
Less wear and tear on my CD drive. If the singer's disk is damaged I am taking a risk running it in my system. If it is unreadable the singer still holds the right to use those songs even though the storage media is damaged.
It is also held that people have the right to backup their data. It just happens that I am providing storage on my system.
I may be confusing Hoster with other Karaoke software, but I thought I could make separate directories to keep singers own songs for them to use. These are not intended to appear in my songbooks.
