Music licensing is the most fucked up greediest maneuvering I have ever witnessed, and I've bought used cars. I remember buying a box set of "Bonanza" TV series and, when I started to watch, the iconic "Bonanza" theme was replaced by some surf-guitar sounding intro. Fuck music licensing! Go Napster! Simple rule, once the person who wrote the song/piece dies then BOOM!...public domain. What's next? Let's sue all of the travelling bands who play cover tunes.

The Drew Carey show isn't easily streamed in full because of music licensing. It's a bummer for sure.
