Ever notice how some songs have a few lyrics that are wrong, or where the music has sections that are a little different from the original version?
This is what karaoke companies do when an artist (or their publisher) refuses to give authorization for their songs to be made into karaoke.
Supposedly, this is perfectly legal when a certain percentage of the song/ music is different from the original.
I heard this years ago, and there's gotta be some truth to it, otherwise why would karaoke companies make some songs with what most people would call errors due to being considerably different from the original.
I heard this from somebody who claimed to be good friends with a studio musician who has worked for Sound Choice on numerous projects where they planned to make sections of certain songs to be different than the originals.
Anybody ever hear about this?
