KaraokeCloud Downloads Legal for Commercial Use?

[goateeguy]

The wiki doesn't specifically mention this... It just seems to talk about the 3 streaming tiers.

So, it appears that only if you purchase the 1,200 / year streaming membership are you allowed to play the songs at commercial shows.
If you just purchase the songs for 1.99 each, you cannot. Is this correct?

yes, you can play the songs in public, in a commercial setting. i'll update the wiki

Their TOS isn't very clear about it...

it says specifially

Usage Rules

Your use of the Product is conditioned upon your prior acceptance of the terms of this Agreement.
You shall be authorized to use the Products only for personal, non-commercial use.

Doesn't sound like you can to me (I contacted them as well, and they said it's ok.) However, the fact that the 'legalese' doesn't say I can... makes me a tad nervous. (for obvious reasons) *looks at the lawsuits being tossed around*

Regardless, thanks =)

I've contacted them about it, we'll see what they say.

Update: They will rewrite the legalese on the web site so it is clear that "downloads [are] good for public performance, provided [that the] KJs or venue have ASCAP [membership]"
