A Foolish Approach

The approach taken by SC and Stellar is a foolish one. While legitimate pirates should be tracked down and prosecuted, a KJ or individual who transfers their purchased CD + G's to a hard drive is hardly breaking the law - even if it is for commercial use.

CD’s are dead. There is no doubt of that. What is needed is a licensing and delivery process where legal karaoke material can be delivered via digital methods and reside on hard drives or other digital media. There is no other answer for this problem. Technology will move forward and companies such as SC and Stellar have no real power to stop it no matter how much they rattle their flintlocks.

The real question is how to expand the market for products for singers. The hundreds of millions of personal computers in the world present an inviting platform for karaoke software and music. Turning those platforms into virtual singing machines is an inviting challenge. Trying to strangle that huge potential market is a real study in foolishness.
