Something happened to Ghost in the Shell soundtrack; 100s of fans want answers

  • It's probably some stupid licensing issue. They'll have found out that a background sample in one of the tracks is actually copyrighted by some obscure artist who's demanding 50% of all revenues, or something silly like that, and they'll be running around behind the scenes trying to fix it.

  • One would think that they would have all of the licensing deals, etc. signed, sealed, and ready to go long before we got to this point. What if the movie had been a hit (a longshot of course but it's possible) and the soundtrack delayed?

  • This kind of licensing shenanigans are just terrible, whatever the subjective quality of the work behind. Has "Her" soundtrack by Arcade Fire been made available anywhere yet? The only way to listen to it is apparently to get it bootlegged, maybe this one will suffer the same fate.

  • Literally hundreds of fans? And here I thought there were only dozens of us.

  • Maybe someone realized that producing an album that only "100s of fans" will actually buy is a bad business decision.

  • Demand? Sheesh!
