It's interesting that the impetus of their attack is for trademark infringement rather than piracy (although that certainly was not ignored)

About a year ago the owner of Stellar commented on JOLT that (paraphrased)he felt that computerized karaoke was technicaly illegal but as long as you had a 1:1 ratio they (Stellar) had no problem looking the other way. That they had little interest in the technical violators, only the gross violaters IE pirates & multi-riggers etc.

So far we only have opinions from attorneys for and against, but ultimately it will be an opinion from a judge that will matter. Until we get a precedent setting ruling all we can really do is guess.

Personal opinion here: As long as your music was legaly purchased for each system you use, and you can prove it with a manufacterer produced CDG, I wouldn't lose to much sleep over it. Again personal opinion.
