Looks very dodgy to me. Having said that, PCDJUK are now selling packs of Zoom karaoke tracks for use with laptops/PCs, so it is possible it is legal.

If you are not happy about any item on Ebay, go to the bottom of the page and click on report this item, and go from there.

What a ridiculous statement.

You want to encourage things like this Mike?

And just to add to that, I'm sure I've heard you complaining about 'cowboy' karaoke people using copied discs.

Copied and illegal discs used by people who are charging a lot less than legal operators and therefore pushing prices down in some cases.

Get my drift?

Right..I'm off to report some untaxed cars.

I totally agree with you, however there are many threads on many forums about what is for sale on ebay, and if you go looking for it, you find it. its not the complaining I commented about but we all no it goes on, and theirs not a lot anyone can do, a bit like complaining about a tv program, then watch another channel.

Didnt mean to cause offence....just a opinon

You can report it, and it will be removed. OK, it won't stop people from listing more, but if they see pirated material already on eBay they are far more likely to list some themselves.

Mike I think you missed the point.
Idiots selling copied discs are effectivily making a direct attack on YOUR business. YOU are the one who will lose business because the kid next door has a cheap lappy and 20,000 tracks bought for a tenner and so will charge £50 for a gig which YOU should be doing for £150/£200/whatever.

There more times these gits are reported on eBay the better, every little helps (sorry Tesco:D )

Companies like Mastermix and Asterion (are they on here?) are trying to work with the authorities to stop these pirates, and they appreciate any help they can get.

So what if people go looking for pirates, it's better than beating up old ladies!

Here, have a:beer1: :D

Hi :welcome2:

I hope you were joking!!! You can't tarnish unlicensed DDJ's (who are using their own paid for music) the same as cowboys who have stolen their music :(
The PPL lisence is basically a stealth tax, you don't actually get anything tangeable for your money.
The whole licencing thing is up in the air anyway, even suggestions the PPL one isn't worth the paper it's written on:eek:
This is why I haven't renewed mine yet, until they get their acts together.
Does this make me a cowboy who should be reported?:eek:

No smart arse answers thank you gentlemen (& ladies):D :D :D

That licence is not workable at this time without the MCPS equivalent.
