Music Licensing Harms The DVD Release Of A Classic TV Show
http://techdirt.com/articles/20090910/0306546149.shtml
"Part of the reason these shows are such classics was their use of
timely and evocative music. It still boggles my mind that it should
even require any additional licensing. The music was licensed for the
show. The DVDs are simply the same show. The music was already
licensed. Why should it need another license? And, even if you grant
the idea that it should get the license, why would anyone not let that
happen? Having the music in these shows is never going to harm the
market for that music or those musicians. It can only serve to draw
more attention to that music, especially for people nostalgic for the
time when the show aired."
