This is one of the main reasons that karaoke disc producers and manufacturers use practices like copy protection and why they faught to try and keep us from burning their songs to computer. Just because other people do it, does not make it right or legal. I do run multiple shows and I do it well enough, that I make enough money to have a set of discs for each show I run simultaneously. (Currently have 3 sets of every disc)

By running an illegal show, (using copied songs) it makes you NO DIFFERENT than the person who steals your songs and runs a show. Either way the karaoke producer/manufacturer is loosing profits to piracy.

Basically what you are asking is: How can I protect myself because I want to screw someone else? Think about it, you want to screw the karaoke producers by using copies, and yet you want to protect yourself so that no one can use your [illegal] copies.

If you run your show well, with integrety and professionalism, the money is there to be made. You don't have to resort to piracy to make a profit. This and hire KJ's you trust (and pay well) and you should have no worries...

Just my $0.02,
