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."
