Music Publishers Are Killing Karaoke

[jimbo]

The karaoke companies would love to run a business out of the UK, the only problem is the import laws regarding music and karaoke makes it basically impossible to do it in the UK and then import them into the US. There are HUGE import fees for such materials.

"While U.S. publishers have agreed to the UK terms for UK karaoke companies, they are preventing hard-pressed U.S. karaoke companies from taking advantage of that program. U.S. agents require import licenses in order to stop anyone that has not paid their exorbitant fees."
