Internet, downloading, and karaoke

A very credible source that follows all law suits in this industry informed us that at least 7 of the major Karaoke Producers have refused to pay them for more than 10 years.

We have been told that the major producer now has $19 MILLION in suits against them.

The second largest is just under them.

Does this mean that anyone using discs produced by these companies could find themselves liable for prosecution? After all, even though the discs were bought in good faith, the fees/royalties haven't been paid.

If this is the case, in the best interests of KJ's everywhere, these producers should be named.

It also raises the question of whether or not these producers have the right to refuse permission to anyone that wishes to rip these discs to hard drives.
