It's most likely an artist or producer on one of the tracks. This happens a lot with labels and releases, mostly collaborations. The song is made with two artist, then a year later, the labels are working on a joint release, but then one of the labels decides the song is no longer the right direction/fit/whatever at the current time. The song then is pretty much held captive indefinitely. Maybe it'll be released at a later time. Sometimes never. Happens with some movies too. There are movies out there that have been made with famous actors that have never been seen by the public and never will be.
In this case, I would think they can remove the problem song. Unless it's a co-producer on most of the score...then yeah... probably won't see the light of day if they can't resolve with that producer.
- logfromblammo 9y agoSince the presumption by copyrights-holders is that each instance of piracy is a foregone retail sale, what would the monetary damages calculations look like for works that are never made available for sale? Would anyone feel guilty for violating copyright on a work the rights-holder refuses to license? As Hollywood films, AAA video games, television shows, and such are huge undertakings, with possibly hundreds of constructive participants, along with their administrators and coordinators, I wonder why major studios, distributors, and labels have not lobbied for a new category of protected work, such that one or a handful of individuals can't scuttle the whole project or any significant portion of it. It really doesn't promote the creation of new works if any collaboration means that the other people involved in it could make it a waste of your time after the fact.
