![]() This is not the case, no matter how many people work in your legal staff. Way too many companies these days think that since people share a lot of private information all around the web, that they also have the right to use this information for commercial purposes. This is for not getting my privacy avoided. I work with software and development, and an EULA like this I have actually never seen the likes of in any form of sound or production software.Īnd before anybody jumps the gun this is not to avoid getting caught for piracy. You say that no data from Rekordbox will be shared if you make the choice to make it private, but as I read this EULA, it seems your players will upload this data even if you activate "private" settings, and to top that, if you do not use Rekordbox at all? Does this include local data? Does this include ANYTHING played on a CDJ of new standard? You state this is only done if you are in a club with a connected KUVA system, but honestly, this EULA is pretty close to a deal breaker either way for me, and this might be the last time I buy your products, unless an official comment is made which remedies this point.Īlso, since you have delivered an edition of Rekordbox WITH the player (The software CD was a part of the original package), this is simply an upgrade with hooks attached. Even if your setting is "Private" on rekordbox for the track information, or you are not using rekordbox, Pioneer will provide the DJ name you registered and the track information to third party(s). By using the Service, you agree to Pioneer providing, as electromagnetic data, the DJ name you registered and the track information to third party(s) including without limitation, performance rights organizations/performing rights organizations which Pioneer have contracts with in each country. By using the Service, you agree to publically share the track information (title of the track, date and time of the play, playing time, name of the artist, composer/author of the track, and the record label, hereinafter collectively "track information") and the DJ name you registered.Ģ. Sharing and using the track informationġ.Lets look at one statement (from "Pulse"): "KUVO information is ONLY sent when you are in a club using a CDJ system connected to a KUVO gateway.". ![]() This is a violation of end users, and should not be described as "normal business". I must say I agree to the issues mentioned in the original post completely. The KUVO network is a really cool thing and if you haven't looked into it, check it out at. Additionally, if you don't want to share your track information, you CAN tick the box to make it private and it will not be available online. Track details from YOUR COMPUTER are not instantly pushed to the system. Keep in mind that this information is ONLY available to the KUVO club network when you are at a venue where a KUVO gateway is installed. Much as Serato allows you to automatically upload your track information in realtime to "the cloud," KUVO provides DJs with the opportunity to have their information shared with fans, clubgoers, etc. Pioneer understands that DJs will prepare their music where no network exists, so yes, rekordbox DOES work without a network connection. And if you want to use rekordbox, you have to agree to the terms and conditions, one of which is registration of an account. Yes, you do have to register again for the KUVO account because Pioneer decided (thanks to their privacy policy) not to automatically transfer your rekordbox account over to KUVO. Pioneer's got good lawyers and the corporate privacy policy is available here: I'm sorry, I don't see how this is potentially a violation of any privacy laws. If you want to make sure that nothing is shared there are some ways that if discussed here obviously would lead to another swift closure of the thread >:) If somebody could shed some light on this, we'll be happy to know. I do not even know if rb 3 works if you are not connected to the internet or (hopefully) something is written to your computer when you register to kuvo. Especially considering that in my case I have given quite a lot of money to Pioneer for my 2 cdjs, I'd find preferable to have rb already registered and available without having to register again. Regarding privacy I also find annoying that I have to register again to another web service to have something that I already had before. I had a quick look at rb 3 a few days ago and I think I saw that thing. Regarding the playlists I think there is an option to not connect and share anything with Kuvo. I have already voiced my negative opinion on the Kuvo registration in another thread that was closed promptly. That is a good question and I am fully on your side.
