Why would you say that? There is no evidence of it. Hazarding a guess is fine, but there should be SOME basis for it...

There are a myriad of good reasons why hosts would shut down, and I named several. This is assuming 5 actually did shut down, of course..


Uh... Joe.... Read the post just before yours. I think KJ Athena answered your query about proof about 30 minutes before you posted this.

Joe seems to want to refuse the possiblilty that clubs actually looking for legal kj's might have possibly been stemmed because of the lawsuits - never in 20 years have I ever heard of a club asking until now - coincidence? Possibly, but i'm betting not.

I agree with the thinking that when advised of the possible "FINES" from hiring known "pirates" more venue owners will insist on proof of legality from KJ's.

What happens when a KJ spends a few thousand dollars for a very modest starter library ... They get audited and validated as being LEGIT. Then they go out and for $300 get a loaded drive with 80,000 songs on it >>?

I did. She speks of venues looking for "legal hosts" and that an audit - which as absolutely nothing to do with LEGALITY- got her in. That tells me it was more salesmanship than anything else. I'm guessing, but I think she convinced the owner that the audit meant something that it didn't, making him believe it had something to do with "legality. If that is the case - and I'm certainly not claiming it is, as I wasn't there- it would have been misrepresentation.

Also, I mentioned the 5 hosts that aren't there anymore, and were never named by SC in regard to anything. No explaination.

Don't matter, now that SC has on their own page that anyone with a 1:1 ratio is legal as long as they have a disc for every computer - 1 computer 1 disc, 2 computers, 2 disc, etc.....
I would still be willing to bet it was SC efforts that pushed the club into looking for a legal host rather than one with an ebay HD. Say what you want, believe what you want - I will too - only one will actually KNOW the truth!
