NEW YORK (Reuters) - Warner Music Group Corp, the world's third-largest music company, said on Thursday that video game makers will need to pay more to license songs for music-based video games like "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band."

Warner Music Chief Executive Edgar Bronfman drew comparisons between MTV's launch 25 years ago or Apple Inc's iPod launch five years ago, and today's video game companies like Activision Blizzard Inc and Harmonix, a unit of Viacom Inc.

"The amount being paid to the music industry, even though their games are entirely dependent on the content we own and control, is far too small"

I'm not sure if any bemani games have used any music from Warner, but they really should consider what they're doing here. They get free advertising in music video games, and charging more for the licensing is probably going to cause many companies to license less, which means less money and less free advertising.

Seems stupid.

And Mr. Bronfman should realize that not every music game is 90%+ licensed content. Hi like EVERY bemani game?

Has Warner Music ever appeared in IIDX? Surprised

As for DDR, Konami hasn't cared much about the licenses, anyway, what with making them less the a tenth of the list on SN and SN2 AC and choosing non-dance songs for SN2 US.

More money for music? Sounds like typical RIAA behaviour to me. Tongue!
