Can somebody please enlighten me regarding the basis for all these lawsuits? Correct me if I'm wrong .... please don't flame me.... Slep sold his catalog to Stingray. How is is possible that you can sell your all of your content to another company and still be able to sue/threaten to sue someone over copyright that you no longer own? I mean, how is possible to sell the content but still retain the rights to the trademark?
My understanding is SC sold the audio recordings to Stingray which it then licensed back, but retained the Sound Choice trademark. The Karaoke Channel does not use the Sound Choice trademark. The suits are based on trademark infringement of the Sound Choice marks, not copyright infringement of the underlying audio work.

This is correct. The only thing I would add is that SC does still own the copyright in about 100 sound recordings produced after April 2007, and of course will own the copyright in the new material scheduled for release in May.

Believe it or not some people still have the old 78 records, or 45's. It all depends with what you were raised with, and people getting back to the good old days. Usually those days were just like today, with time they just seem better. My kids wonder why I bother with hosting at all, they think I should just sit, that is something I will never do. Once you start setting then people want to put you on a shelf, or worse warehouse you in a home. Have a blessed day.
