That is a good point. And since the courts have so far upheld the definition of Sync License for the lyrics on CDGs even though they don't fit the strict intent of the law, then the rest are going to have to pay the higher fee or go the same way Pocket Songs have. I hate to see it happen because it is a step backwards, but the music industry seems to be trying anything they can to shutdown karaoke producers or at least get more money out of them and ultimately out of us.
