This should put an interesting spin on karaoke. I know of about 5 or 6 sports bars/restaurants that count on their "karaoke nights" to drum up extra business. Seeing as how they're profiting from using copyrighted materials, how severely are they going to get screwed in this?
And what about those poor souls who run these karaoke businesses? They have to purchase their specially formatted CD's from manufacturers who I'm sure pay all of their royalties *insert cynical remark of choice here*. In turn, they get paid to run these gigs. I just wonder if they'll at least bring out the KY with the ankle straps...
