So you're basically saying that you settled with them for fear of retribution, even though your position is that you were legally correct?


No. I am saying that settling the case as we did gave us the opportunity to have a business relationship with them going forward, which was more valuable than a court victory that would likely result in us having no business relationship with them ever. It's not a question of retribution.

If you were so afraid of retribution, why would you have fought EMI for two years?


Again, not afraid of retribution. We had absolutely no way to pay them what they were demanding even if we'd wanted to. (They were looking for more money than the combined all-time historical revenue of all karaoke producers worldwide.) It took two years to get them to produce evidence that they owned anything at all and to get their attorney to understand the facts. He's a lot like your husband--largely impervious to facts and logic.

So.... you settled with them, but didn't have to pay anything because you wanted a "business relationship with them going forward" so badly?

But your help license idea was so fantastic, they decided to forego any chance at historically-huge demand for money after 2 years of court for a small percentage of your litigation juggernaut?

THIS IS SCHRÖDINGER'S SETTLEMENT:

At any time it's a gigantically-huge demand for all the money in the world from a 2-year battle in the humid jungles of the courtrooms filled with dangerous lies and mistruths
and also at any time is an abandonment of all that fighting for the opportunity to get a tiny percentage of the novel and shrewd business acumen of the "litigation machine" known as PEP.


(Said no one ever)

So, let's say we do that, and we win.

What do you think happens the next time we go to those plaintiffs and ask for licenses for new production?

What is the point? There will be NO production. You haven't produced anything in seven years. You couldn't even get enough crowd sourced cash to produce anything, and besides, you were going to produce songs that were already done by everyone else. You are kidding yourself if you think you will ever be a Karaoke music producer, again.
