I do enjoy the irony of MITD getting the rights to use the song and Heater being stuck with a shitty cd and no rights.
It’s a great allegory.
This needs to be cleared up because I see it repeated quite often.
There is no such thing as rights to use a song.
Crystal gave her blessing - while it does create some warm and fuzzies it really is meaningless.
There are 2 other writers, she has no say over how their portion is used.
She probably has no say on her own portion since a publishing company probably controls those.
Any radio station can play MITD, it is a commercially available song.
