Illegal Lyric Sites?...

[Musicman51]

Then again are you legal in taking the original music, adding the lyrics and using those in your shows without licensing fees being paid?

Yes, when i purchased the music i'm using from a now out of business karaoke company, they told me i could transfer the music to CD, then my software, just as anyone else would a Chartbuster, or any other lable to use in hoster. Same principle at work here. Is it therefore also illegal to take a poorly written CDG, inport the music, and retap the lyrics tomake a useable CDG with it? never ends..a person could loose all kinds of sleep second guessing this stuff...
Incidently, the debate over format shifting has been going on since the arc... Hoster software is so succesful because we "Format Shift". The music in question, was in cassette format...Perhaps i shouldn't have thrown away those old lyric cards they gave mefree to use. If i recopied those old cards, and used mine, chances are someone would scream illegal..illegal...lol
