Are we legal or not???

Admin, please help us out on this one. This is being passed around by new KJ's. It is from a site called www.karaokestar.com

"The other issue regarding laptop and hard drive karaoke systems in that it is illegal to load purhased CDG's on these systems. The licensing rights for music on a hard drive machine exist only between the laptop/hard drive manufacturer and the karaoke music provider. Many owners of these laptop/hard drive systems argue this point as they have been misinformed. Many KJ's assume CDG's are classified the same as regular CD's and feel it is legal to make back up copies or copy onto another media. There is a legal difference! If you doubt this, we welcome you to contact the CDG Manufacturers directly and find out what they say about their discs being LOADED on a hard drive."

I personally trust MTU. Can you please explain!
Many KJ's are now afraid to put their CDGs on yours or any other hard drive, as they have been told that laptops are being confiscated because of this.
