All,
 
The problem of the music rights being secured for theatrical release of a film,
though not for some of ancilliary properties has occurred before.
 
There was a John Hughes film, perhaps _Sixteen candles,_ which includes one set
of rock songs for the theatrical release, and another for *all* video
afterward.  Not *one* of the songs in the affected film is included when shown
on cable, broadcast, or video formats.
 
This would be quite a feat, methinks, if it *is* _Sixteen candles,_ since the
song is, presumably what lead to the title of the film.
 
Does anyone know if this is the Hughes film that got, essentially, remade with
new music?
 
As a spin-off to this discussion, I remember that Paul Simon sued over the use
of his music from the _Graduate_ [Mrs. Robinson] being included in videotapes,
while no royalties were being paid to him.  I believe that he won his suit with
a large cash rewward.  I don't remember, though, if his suit was drawn in the
US.  He may havve won his award in the UK.
 
Interesting way of how looking at how movies can be "alterred," eh?
 
Best,
