Lately it seems like everybody’s talking about song clearance. If it’s not Matt Groening on the Simpsons DVDs, it’s somebody else on some other DVD. Or a WKRP in Cincinnati fan on his web site. I am unable to find the Ken Wahl letter that claimed the music replacement in the recent Wiseguy DVD release was due to recent licensing fee gouging, and blamed the gouging on Napster, et al. It’s interesting (though far from surprising) to see that the gouging has been going on much longer than that.
