Oprah Karaoke Challenge...
Oprah is doing a karaoke challenge (http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahsh...araoke-contest) and I had some questions about the legality of it.
![]() Would this be illegal due to copyrights etc? No $ is being exchanged, I just don't want to get myself in any hot water. Any thoughts would be appreciated! -Chad |

The legal issue here is that they have to bring their own disk and sing from it for you to legally record them.

i once read on an entertainment news that Ellen Degeneres was sued by a co. for using some of the songs in her show w/o a permit, that might be the same case with you if you sent in a video of someone singing ,using somebody elses song w/o a permit, especially if it's a national contest and that might be considered as promoting your singer.(s) i might be wrong

Chad here's a little Tort 101. First, you're not recording an illegal act {no matter how bad the singer sings} although with some singers it comes close to murder of a song.
