So now we'll be paying twice as much for Guitar Hero or Rock Band, is what Warner is TRYING to get to by forcing the hand of these publishers. How dumb. I can see it now: you have to buy Rock Band for a couple hundred bucks and then spend $5 for each song. Great way to kill this product off Warner. I'm sure your suits are all giving "attaboys" in the office.

Not necessarily they could contact the artist directly, and ask THE ARTIST's that made the music in the first place, and see if they could cut some kinda of deal.

Who gives a toss about metallica? I sold my cd's on a boot sale at 50p a shot after they sided with the enemy..
Bunch of boring old fart has-beens living on the glories of 15 years ago.. just like gene and his bastard son whipping dog prince.. as Zappa put it "here Fido.. fetch the slippers"!!
as a musician I have to say.. guitar hero.. what a bag of wank! for £40 you can buy a serviceable guitar and small amp and learn to play for real... maybe even make some money off it one day.

Your friend in nam is not lying. She has a modded PS2, and the modder was generous enough to relabel the PS2 to PS3.
Then the pirate selling games relabeled Assassins Creed 1 and called it Assassins Creed 2. This is called marketing.
Your friend is honest and thinks she plays AC2 on a PS3. In reality she is playing AC1 on a PS2.

Typical. Warner haven't got much else to do these days so they have to stick their greedy noses into Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Its gone from complaining about p2p to internet radio and now video game royalties. What's next?
