But the latter is prolly the band's biggest licensing revenue stream. It's unclear though if the band was paid licensing fees by Guitar Hero's makers--if so, then they should be glad that the cover isn't so lame as to dilute the worth of the original.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eydielou]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 6th 2007 5:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Romantics Sue Makes of 'Guitar Hero' Over Excellent Cover Song]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/26/the-romantics-sue-over-guitar-hero/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/26/the-romantics-sue-over-guitar-hero/</guid><description><![CDATA[The deal is, the makers of GH actively try to get artists to allow them to use their own songs, that's why some say the song is BY an artist, while others say it was MADE FAMOUS BY the artist.  Chances are, the Romantics wouldn't allow GH the rights to the actual song, so they made a "covered" version.  Maybe that's a little crappy, but seriously, even Metallica is on GH3 and we all know what a pain in the ass they can be about using their name.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Meagan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 2:44PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
