I think you don't remember correctly!

The video clearly states "One of the most notable function on the PCK-350DR is its digital recording capabilities. You can capture all of your performances on to SD or secure digital memory cards. This makes it easy to take your performances or recorded songs with you anywhere and play them back on compatible devices and since these are digital files you can even transfer them to your computer and email them to share with friends and family."

It made a clear distinction between "your performances" and "recorded SONGS"

If a KJ uses SC digital files without permission in any commercial context, it is trademark infringement. Nothing about this video changes that, because nothing in this video authorizes the commercial use of SC digital files.

I think this is what bazinga is trying to point out... Since this machine is all about making digital files, the fact that this ad mentions KJs can use them, IMPLIES that permission IS being granted to use those digital files in any way the KJ deems fit. The ad does NOT mention anything about illegalities in using said files in a commercial setting.

This machine is not "all about making digital files." It has the capability of recording its inputs onto an SD card, but mostly it's a disc player with an integrated amp and speaker.

I own a Sony laptop that's capable of running torrent software. Does that mean that Sony has given me permission to use my Sony laptop to torrent Sony Pictures content? Of course not. Did Sony have to tell me not to run torrent software on my laptop? Of course not.

That should tell Harrington and Kurt something. People are so sick of them and their way of doing business that NOW they can't even post about that business here, of all places. I think many people are tired of SC trying to get money for nothing. The new HELP program is just that. It is money for nothing. They aren't providing any content. You can get your songs from any source, including torrents. The program doesn't include any new material, whether this is ever any or not. So, all you get is "protection" from lawsuits. That is money for nothing. People are tired of it. They WERE a great Karaoke company, in their day, and for the time they were producing music. That time is long passed, and they have been surpassed by quite a few other companies, both in content, AND quality. AND, NO other company, except PRLLC, is looking to make money for nothing.
