Think about it for awhile: which search engine happens to be your #1 music search engine? Is it SeeqPod? Well, why is that music search engine your favorite? Is it because it relies on torrents file sharing so that you get access to hordes of music files from different servers without having to worry about a silly little thing like copyright? Well, sorry kiddies, but that search engine is now in hot water because it does work like that.

SeeqPod (based in Emeryville, California) has been slapped with a copyright infringement lawsuit by one of the Big Four music labels, namely Warner Music. Warner Music alleges in its case against Seeqpod that SeeqPod targets its search efforts at music products that definitely have copyright ownership but which have been illegally placed on sites without authorization from the owner. Warner Music further says that SeeqPod will agree to look for the links to such sites for the user, then play the copyrighted music even if authorization has not been given by the real owners. Furthermore, SeeqPod will then integrate the illegally acquired music file into the playlist collection of the user, and even inform the user where he can go himself to find more illegally acquired music files of that same name. Lastly, to round out the copyright infringement transgressions of SeeqPod against Warner Music, Warner Music alleges that SeeqPod places the same link for acquiring illegal copies of music on social networking sites which is more damaging because then more people can be seduced into the copyright infringement cycle as well.

In case you think your #1 music search engine SeeqPod has been unfairly singled out among a host of copyright infringement suspects, actually the rest of the Big Four music labels had already filed similar lawsuits against other music search engines. The 2008 filing of a case against SeeqPod by Warner Music seems to be just the latest in a series of lawsuits where Big Four music labels are fighting back against copyright infringement criminals to protect their artists and themselves from loss of profits that are righteously theirs.

If you were an attorney for your #1 music search engine, how would you argue a case for SeeqPod that would relieve it from the burden of paying penalties for copyright infringement and for having to pay royalties henceforth after judgement has been rendered? One argument you might choose is that SeeqPod helps artists gain much-needed exposure for their music titles even if SeeqPod does not pay royalties for allowing users to play songs on its own website. Another argument you could select to get your #1 music search engine out of legal trouble is that even obscure songs and artists may gain exposure because of the Discover function of SeeqPod where SeeqPod users can see what titles are similar to the titles they were looking for and like. Lastly, you could backtrack to the DCMA safe harbors ruling that many search engines have sought cover behind when pursued by royalty-based music labels and legitimate artists.

Karaoke is one of the most fun activities to do with family and friends. It doesn’t matter if no one can carry a tune or not. Singing with the ones you love, especially from the comfort of your own home, can be a great way to stay entertained. Karaoke is a form of entertainment that gives anyone the chance to sing along with their favorite songs. With the help of a PA system and microphone, you can project your voice so that it can be easily heard above the music. Most of the time the music consists of well known pop and rock songs where the voice of the original artist is removed or faded into a lower level. You sing the lyrics from a sheet or from a prompter. Colors or moving symbols will guide the singer along with the lyrics so they know when to sing which words.

If you want to start having karaoke parties in your home, you will need to invest in a few things. You will need some sort of a microphone setup, and you will need karaoke music as well. A monitor to display the lyrics is option, although many times you can turn your television set into a monitor with the aid of DVD technology. You can also have a computer set up to be able to display the lyrics to the singer. Either way, your hands will be free to hold the microphone and dance while you sing.

You can get karaoke music in a variety of places, but the best place to get cheap, fun karaoke music is online. There are many online resources where you can purchase CDs and DVD videos of karaoke music. That way, you can turn your television set into your very own lyric monitor. But the cheapest way to get karaoke music online is by downloading mp3 files. This way, you will get only the songs that you want and you can purchase them one at a time if you are strapped for cash. There are also some outlets on the internet where you can score free karaoke music.

Getting karaoke music online is a lot more convenient than trying to find CDs and DVDs in a store. And with the option to download the files straight to your computer, you can save on shipping costs and waiting at the mailbox for your karaoke music to arrive. After downloading a few karaoke tunes, you can start having a karaoke party in a matter of a few minutes.

It is a good idea to invest in some type of karaoke music. You never know when you will need it. Whether you want to get eh family together in order to entertain yourselves or you are hosting a party and need another form of entertainment to get the party going, you will be glad that you have some karaoke music and equipment on hand. It is a fun activity for everyone, young and old.

Ever wanted to explode onto the music scene with the best song you ever wrote? Well if you use MySpace your chances have just increased.

Ultimately this article is for aspiring musicians and talented artists that have artist profiles on this popular website and want that little extra help in leveling out the battle field and make it possible to compete with the big names in today’s music industry.

Have you ever heard of increasing MySpace mp3 song plays? Well, it is the new craze that is rapidly spreading across the internet. The deal is this, they increase your plays, profile views or even your video plays and intern your MySpace chart ranking increases along with your fan count and daily friend requests.

Now I am not a marketing guru but I would think that receiving many plays every day and many profile views every day that would lead to more CD sales and increased exposure to A&R’s?

Increasing mp3 plays, profile views and video plays has been recognized by many as the only real way to contend with the big names in the music business. These days if you are not popular on the music charts the question remains to be who are you. The main trick with MySpace is you can give your fans something from your page and they can actually be there and contact you, leave a comment and simply be on a level with you.

Being the powerhouse on the internet with millions and millions of users each and every day, advertising and pushing your music to your fans on MySpace is the cheapest and most simplest option for any artist out there today.

Obviously if you used such services your music better be up to scratch or you would be wasting your marketing $$ exposing bad music, which is not really what you want, so you must make sure your music is of HQ (high quality) and that you can be contacted or all your work and effort will be a waste.

On one hand I would think that the likeliness of succeeding in such a manner would fail due to MySpace’s strict policies, but on the other hand I think many do fool the giant in making them look so real that they are very hard to detect, and maybe even if the increase system is smart enough, undetectable.

Though the 1 area for this system I see may fail, is if the play delivery system stopped for a while and then kicked back in with massive numbers, surely they would detect something there. But really I think all the visits are done so stealthy by using proxies and different referrers that MySpace can not really do anything, as far as they could know you are just simply marketing you or your bands page, or you could of just done a concert etc.

So if you are considering using this kind of service to increase your mp3 music plays I would be very careful and sure to start off small and slowly increase over a time frame that looks

fairly realistic!
