People (K.J.s) in our area have been wondering if the Cloud rental has been taking off.
Most people say no.
Are the 12000 song hardrives they sold us still legal?
I know I wont be buying anything from whoever they are untill they at least show a slight effort to protect their product. And certainly not untill their ex salesmen run out of product on E-bay for pennies on the dollar.

Hard drive are sold with stolen media.

The cloud is still up in the air..

the 12000 song hardrive was sold directly from chartbusters right before they went out of business for 2 grand. Are you saying they are stolen music?

Are you referring to the KJ Media Pro HD? I was lucky enough to buy one of those bad boys and 100 credits just in time for CB to stop support. It's a great paperweight.

that depends on whom you ask. But as far as being a kj is concerned, if you were lucky enough to purchase one of these drives before chartbuster went belly up, then I would continue to use it.

If you paid for it, you should be able to use it, and until a legal authority says otherwise, most likely no one will come after you for it.


just my two cents, for what its worth

Does that advise apply to these too?

you would do well to advise on the other's advice

I love how the last ad in Seattle states in his ad that he is illegally selling copyrighted material.

It's kinda like an ad for a Corvette:

Minor Legality Note: This car is stolen. It will be up to the buyer to properly title the vehicle in their name after the sale.

The difference is these are 'obviously' illegal to begin with. Anyone with half a brain should be able to figure that one out.
The CB hard drives were sold to customers in good faith through real karaoke outlets (& CB themselves) under the assumption that everything was fine.

No it does not, because I was talking specifically about the chartbuster drives, which were sold DIRECTLY by the karaoke manufacturer. Third party/private sales are a whole different matter. In that case, I would expect to have original factory discs provided along with the hard drive, or I would not buy it in the first place
