In this episode, Brian and Murdock dive into a listener's question about music copyright issues in film, revealing the surprising impact licensing decisions can have on artists' careers.

It's a behind-the-scenes look at the intersection of music, movies, and legal rights. #musiclicensing #filmmusic #copyrightlaw #80smovies #podcast SHOW NOTES: https://www.npr.org/2012/01/03/144624329/the-big-bad-swap-the-problem-with-replaced-music https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/17-movies-and-tv-shows-that-were-refused-rights-to-songs/ https://nypost.com/2023/03/04/how-sylvester-stallone-lost-his-rocky-legacy/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_III https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonna_Fly_Now https://societyofrock.com/the-one-eye-opening-fact-that-queen-and-survivor-have-in-common-who-wouldve-thought/ https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/how-survivor-wrote-eye-of-the-tiger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Sullivan https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/survivor-frankie-sullivan-eye-of-the-tiger-rocky-interview-1235088938/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Scotti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Garrett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotti_Brothers_Records https://jessecoffey100498.medium.com/scotti-brothers-records-story-and-album-discography-1fff2e668ffc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_the_Tiger https://jimpeterik.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/jimpeterik_press_bio.pdf https://www.hollandsentinel.com/story/entertainment/books/2014/11/05/jim-peterik-shares-his-life/36005860007/ https://www.facebook.com/therosieandbillshowpage/videos/jim-peterik-the-amazing-story-behind-eye-of-the-tiger/812321673662008/ https://elmhurstmagazine.com/jim-peterik/
