George: So if "ASCAP, BMI, KAPA, and whoever, require that the KJ's have the original discs in their possession as proof of "ownership"...would that not include original tapes or albums? Or do they include the other pre-recorded formats?
No matter how antiquatted the "laws" currently on the books are, there is a difference between meeting the spirit of the law and the letter of the law.
No doubt none of us want the hassle of having to make a defense in court, but I don't think those companies would have a case concerning digital formats. Which isn't even the point anyway.
I think this whole "legal" discussion we're having is off track. The original post asked if there were any "safe" sites to purchase karaoke downloads from. We have provided him with some examples of reputable, virus free, legit companies that offer digital downloads.
Peace
