Thankfully, the Sunfly police won't be looking over here to bust KJs.

So... ASCAP and BMI and Sescom all need to go to congress and straighten out this whole licensing mess before it kills the already almost dead American music industry.
Really has nothing to do with these entities, these are like end user licenses (ie playing the songs in clubs). The problem is with the actual publishers of the songs and/or the actual artists themselves that prevent the licensing to the karaoke manus to actually make the tracks..

Being able to buy from a source in the UK not being available to US and being able to actually play said track in the US are two completely different scenerios. If you can GET the track, as long as the club is paying their fees - there is no law stating you cannot play those tracks in your show - provided the club are paying their PRO fees.

F.Y.I. Under the T.O.S. Zoom, Sunfly and also Mr. Entertainer, not licensed for resale outside of their territory.
Is that regarding just downloads or CDGs and custom CDGs as well?

I am able to take a download in the cart all the way to checkout. I don't need this one so I am not purchasing, but it looks like it is back. They must have worked out the licensing.

Zoom is available too. Either there is a glitch allowing access or they are available and it just hasn't propagated everywhere yet.

Access depends a lot on how IP addresses are logged/reported. Most people will be blocked, some won't. Be friendly with those that have access :)

I didn't have access previously. I'll check at home tonight as well. One thing to note is Zoom now has all three delivery types separated. The Zoom site only handles downloads. They direct you to Amazon for disc purchases. They direct you to Select a track for custom discs and I still get a blocked message from that site.

Did you try to download something? :biggrinthumb:

If you want to discuss it further, meet me at The Hot Grill.

I took one all the way to checkout & it wouldn't allow me to get it in download format. It said every track I had in the basket were not available in download format. I was able to complete my order changing the format to custom cdg.

So that's the Sunfly site? Thanks for the heads up. I may give it a try if I have something to buy but it looks like they are just teasing us. Cruel.. So so cruel. :bawling:

Well at least they are back up at this time - even if it's custom disc only that US can buy. I do custom discs when it's the only option or when I don't need something - now, but know people still want to sing it.

True. I don't mess with discs but I can understand wanting\not minding them. I may also try the Zoom site. That will be interesting because custom discs aren't on the download site.

I just filled out a Bowie order on Zoom and was able to purchase. I still had plenty of credits! Anyway, I was able to process an order and download and I am now on my home PC.

‘just downloaded 7 songs from zoom site, charlie puth, otis redding, katy perry & hozier.

How about this? ‘no fly list’ on the other 3 - no problem: foo fighters, Christina Aguilera & green day.

Depends on where I order from, but usually no more than 2 weeks.

I ordered a custom disc from SBI, almost two weeks ago. STILL waiting. This is such crap!! I hate waiting for stuff I order.
