is very iconic. and from publisher point of view this outcome is not all that undesirable, the continued sales of a over 10 year old single-player game presumably are fairly small.
- Ferret7446 3y agoIs it so iconic that Sony should be allowed to collect royalties >50 years after the death of its performer?
- GabeIsko 3y agoIt's ironic that a song that is regarded as a war protest song is preventing the distribution of a war protest video game.
- willcipriano 3y agoSony wouldn't do innovative stuff like host Woodstock if it wasn't for decades of royalties.

Further evidence copyright and its licensing is moronic—it doesn't protect original content, it destroys it.
