We have many kj's in my area boasting of their 100,000 song list. The kj would have to buy 6667 CDG's costing $146,674 (100,000/15 * $22 = $146,674). To pay for all of this, the kj would have to be paid $403.00 a show and work 7 days week for a year without making a profit.

Suppose a rock band went out and robbed the music store of $146,674 worth of equipment, then went out to perform in the clubs. Would you be surprised if they were arrested at one of the clubs?

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir!

No you are right on that. Just today while I was out doing my other job which happens to be collecting money in bars for a company that does viedo games, dart boards, pool tables, and whatever else.... I was talking to a guy that does karaoke I guess... He said recently he bought a 500gb hard drive off ebay with 100,000 songs on it from a guy out of flordia. He paid around $450.00 for it. The person who sold the hard drive PIRATE!! and guy that bought the hard drive moron.... but hey now days who can you turn in and who will listen anyway...

My system I took over from my parents 9 years ago. The system (or shoudl I say company?) is a total of almost 14 years old. We have almost the full collection of DK Karaoke... I have seen DK on what I suspect to be a CAVS system which I know CAVS does not have access to this and also that this person (which is different from the person above) just bought their system. Yeah you can get DK off ebay but people are not selling it cheep. I have seen the cheepest being $999.00 +S&H and most being $1400.00. I also suspect this person to be running copied versions from the old karaoke company she used to work for which also used pirated CDG's on their old systems.... so i guess she went ok well they did it I might as well too maybe?

My system is 100% legit and I stick with only one system just for that reason. What reason you may ask.... lol the reason like stated in the post before mine.... $146,674..... yeah i dont have that kind of money.... lol

Anyway it seems like this is not much that can be done anyway... who knows.
