They all state that now on their CDs too, don't they? I think that's to cover them in case of "resale" (ie, included on 500,000 song drives).

No they state on the cdg's that unauthorized public performance prohibited - if the club is paying ASCAP/BMI etc, then it is no longer unauthorized. Not sure about ascpa but bmi has karaoke option in their contract/application.
