I can get my head around this because the jukebox takes quarters and I can see why they want their $.24 cut from that. All total, after paying the fee and buying new CDs I made a grand total of $118 off that $5000 jukebox this last year. Hell, at least it is a profit.
My question is: Why would you bother to do it?

I wouldn't. I have always wondered why so many bars do.

i just got done reading some of KIAA' s articles, and i'm kinda suspicious, those articles are written by them, i don't think it's an actual fact, like i read in another karaoke forum site ,it's just maybe to scare the venue owners, kj's etc.so they would join .. and if you look at their address, they are based in Willmington,Delaware, in which a lot of suspicious Co. ( telemarketers, ads you see on tv at night, ie. vacuum 's , ginsu knives and some non approved FDA medical products ) the reason they are based in Delaware was they don't wanna pay the taxes they were supposed to, a lot of these Co's. address are in Delaware, if you can watch any add on tv at night and check out the addresses.now who's cheating who...i also read that you can only have one copy of your orig. disc not multiple, if that's the case most of us are illegal, caused i bet we all have multiple copies of our hhd, i do

I used to make a lot more off of it when I was open 18 hrs a day. Now, I only open at 5 and start karaoke at 9, so it doesn't get the kind of play it used to. If it ever shoots craps, I won't replace it. Probably just play the computer or an MP3 player through the PA.
