Dear Valued Karaoke Cloud Pro Subscriber:

Please be advised that due to circumstances beyond our control, effective immediately DTE and Karaoke Cloud Pro will cease distribution of Sony / EMI-controlled works. We have removed Sony / EMI from the Karaoke Cloud Pro content stream in order to comply with our licensing.

In the interim, we are lowering the price of the Karaoke Cloud Pro subscription to $49.99 per month, starting with your next pay period and going forward. As an added incentive, for those kJams faithful who maintain their Karaoke Cloud subscription throughout the service interruption, we will continue to honor the $49.99 price point for as long as you maintain your subscription, no matter how much content is added to Karaoke Cloud Pro in the future.

The interruption in service is due to the expiration of our licensing contract with Sony / EMI. We are negotiating with them to renew our license as quickly as possible, however, they are in the midst of multiple lawsuits against other karaoke labels (not DTE / Karaoke Cloud) in the USA and UK (US case listed here), which is adding an unforeseen layer of complexity to the negotiations.

It is our sincere hope that we will have Sony / EMI content back in the Karaoke Cloud Pro stream as soon as possible. We are working diligently with all parties to accomplish this, so that the interruption in service will be minimal.

Sincerely,

Joe Vangieri
Chief Executive Officer
DigiTrax Entertainment / Karaoke Cloud Pro
