P.S. I think I just answered my own question - I just read their Disclaimer: you "MAY NOT use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial)". |
The catch here is they do not include the lyrics in their downloads so actually these are not MP3+G as Karaoke Warehouse would lead you to believe. Even if you order them on CD they will not have the display the lyrics, thus they are CDA files and not CDG. If they have the lyrics available they will send them on a sheet af paper included.
So because they do not include the lyrics then they do not have to pay all the same royalties as normal and lawsuits because of the confusion in the industry. Even IBack is not the producers of these so you have no idea where they were produced. Doesn't sound to good to me.
