The problem with just about anything that SC's has said in the past or will say in the future, can be and will be changed whenever they feel like it, to suit their needs.

Nothing they have said has become a law. So they can change the rules, kinda like when kids play games.

does it say you do? you are taking me to court with a document saying that i was doing what you are allowing me to do.
it doesn't say i have to stand on my head and sing i'm a little teapot either, so how can it be brought up? write whatever you want in the suit and change it as you go along in court?

"Slep-Tone authorizes its customers to “format shift” and transfer the contents of a genuine SOUND CHOICE
CD+G recording to a single computer or MP3 player, provided that the customer keeps
the original copy of the CD+G in his possession as an archival copy that is not used."

this is what it says, no more, no less. no stipulations other than keep the original archived. a judge is going to be so happy with "i know that's what i said to the court, but i didn't mean it, i want to add another stipulation or two in there your honor."

It also authorizes a shift to a CD or an external hard drive (under conditions), but those aren't listed, either, are they?

1:1 correspondence is a necessary condition, but it is not a sufficient condition.

He isn't trolling He is trying to inform us of what is going on and correct many others that spout their beliefs as truth - even though it's only their opinions since most have no actual legal training or experience, just speculation & conjecture.

I didnt mean that we was a troll in the message board sense of just showing up to be a pain in the <span style=font-size:10px><i>(@$%&#!)</i></span>. I was using the term as in why is he hanging out on a flippin website. I would be appalled if my legal counsel was discussing cases on an internet webpage. But that is just my opinion minus any legal training or experience.

Again I dont really have a dog in this fight, because I am not running shows and have no interest anymore, but I hope Sound Choice bites the dust. I think it disgusting how they are handling this process.

I am still waiting on an answer on the legality of shifting the illegally produced and recorded songs from Sound Choice.

Assuming that a policy put in place 15 years ago by a company should be ironclad forever is crazy.

Dang I sure hope Hyundai don't change their policy!!! I still have 9 years left on my Warranty!!!!!

There have been none, and there have been exactly ZERO cases tried before a judge that would prove otherwise. Until that happens, there is no one than can say that there is a case, ever was a case, ever will be a case.

So, suppose I go try one of these cases, and it bears out exactly what I've been saying for three years.

What will be your next excuse, Joe?

And before you answer, I'll tell you that I attended the final pretrial conference in one of my cases today.

The reason why they call it the "final pretrial" is because it's the last conference with the judge before the trial.

There are four defendants, and it doesn't look any of them are going to settle.

Two of them are represented by an attorney, so no excuses there, either.

I'll tell you on Wednesday how it came out.

Are they pirates or just shifters??

One of the other two bought pirated custom discs.

When you say one bought pirated custom discs, do you mean that it was purchased from an illegal site (like one of those many torrent sites, or one of those file-sharing sites), or was this some kind of purchase made from one of the sites we're mostly familiar with (like SBI Karaoke, Tricerasoft, Karaoke-Version, etc...)?

I mean that he bought custom discs from a company or person who did not have the right to make those discs. He hasn't told me yet where he got them, but I am pretty sure I already know.

Since they are talking about SC discs, the only 'authorized' custom site of SC content is Clarks. Those discs are pretty recognizable, but are considered 'original' discs as per the Clarks site. Any other custom would be a bootleg. The other sites you mention do not sell SC content.
