🎵 THE MUSIC LICENSING PROBLEM:
Before 2005, TV shows licensed music only for broadcast — not streaming or DVD. When those licenses expired, every song had to be renegotiated individually. A single well-known song can cost $15,000-$50,000 to re-license. Some shows used hundreds of songs, making the cost prohibitive.
