As usual, the music industry, like the film industry, has it backward. The record companies and bands should be paying Harmonix and Activision for the privilege of being included in the game, not the other way around. These games have sparked a huge amount of interest by younger listeners in music that they would never hear on Disney Channel. Bands like Aerosmith and GNR recognize this phenomenon … too bad the record label numbnuts only see the short-term bottom line.

Doesn’t bother me at all, Warner will be the only ones suffering from this. I am a fan of a few Warner acts, but maybe other companies will learn from this mistake and not give in to greed.

That’s nice. We can’t run our own industry so let’s try to f up a perfectly fine running industry. Maybe they should have set the price they think they deserved when the first Guitar Hero was released.
