If it weren't legal IBM would be the only ones selling PC's and Microsoft would still be pushing DOS because Apple invented the windows style operating system.
There are other companies selling programs for karaoke. As long as they don't call themselves Hoster or look so similiar to Hoster as to be confused with Hoster, or copy the code, they are perfectly legal and moral
