This may be the big one. I have a friend who worked on getting Miami
Vice ready for hime. Since this was a form of distribution not in the
original agreements, they had a whole bunch of problems getting the
rights for the songs used in the background. Because of all sorts of
convoluted publishing agreements, it took them something like 3 years
just to get the clearance for the rock music in the sound track.
