IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

The authorities, began supervising of Karaoke shows.

The goal is to combat piracy, which is still very common in this activity, seriously affecting musicians working legally, authors and producers.

It is very common in performances some people use Video Karaoke, Mp3 Backing Tracks, etc., without having any evidence that they were legally acquired. Usually these music files were copied by friends, downloaded from the net, bought in piracy, etc.
Even though these products were illegal, these "pirates" ended up walking immune in their performances, because the authorities had no practical way to monitor them.

WHAT HAS CHANGED NOW? Any musical base, Video Karaoke, Mp3 Backing Tracks, etc, lacks necessarily a legality certificate issued by the producing company. Only this certificate makes cool musical bases used in spectacles.

PortugalKaraoke.com, is now obliged to pass this certificate of legality to its customers. It is this certificate that proves the legal purchase of products and the copyright payment.

For each purchase in PortugalKaraoke.com, the customer receives a Legality Certificate which must then print and enclose with the Video Karaoke or Mp3 Backing Tracks.
The Legality Certificate with all products purchased, is also available on your control panel, when you login. More below have all the information on how to download your Legality Certificate with all products purchased so far.
