Talking New Research Finds Backup Copying Legal!

"Do you have the legal right to make backup copies of Karaoke CD+G discs or songs you HAVE paid for, and use the disc or hard drive copy at home or at a public performance?"

YES YOU DO!!!!!!


In searching for an answer to this question, MTU asked IPJustice.org, a legal organization based in San Francisco, CA, whose Principles are dedicated to clarifying and protecting the rights of consumers to use intellectual property.

Yesterday, IP Justice published a report to help clarify the legal rights of owners of Karaoke CD+G discs in the USA. You MUST read it so you can now sleep at night!

The report affirmed the right to make backup copies of Karaoke CD+G discs and to format shift content onto hard drives. The Conclusion paragraph is below.

"The owners of Karaoke CDGs, facilities, mobile hosting services and consumers, have invested substantially in the purchase of large libraries of Karaoke CDGs. Allowing them to copy the contents of their CDGs for backup or format-shifting to hard drives would also be a fair use, and is entirely consistent both with the legislation on copying digital media passed to date, and with traditional fair use analysis ruled on by the US courts."

Read Their Report!
