Karaoke Monthly and Forever Hits are USA suppliers, Zoom and Music Factory are UK suppliers, but our licensing is world wide and backed by each manufacturers.

Jim,
When you purchase the track you are purchasing it for "performance" (just like a CD+G disc) to entertain, we carry over the royalty to both the manufacturer and the copyright agency for the right to use the track. Performance means you get to use it to present or perform to others. This is however not related to your establishment, which should be subscribed to ASCAP/BMI or similar (this does not relate to you). You CAN NOT resell these songs - these are for your use, not for resale and only licensed for performance.

I have been buying Karaoke tracks from your company and using them in the United States to entertain in bars. When I buy a Karaoke track from your company am I buying the right to make money with it in the United States?
Thank You
