New song. No less irritating because it sounds like all the talk that has alienated consumers from major music labels for the past few years. Warner Music Group said today that video game makers need to pay more money for use of songs in games.

The company told Reuters, “The amount being paid to the music industry, even though their games are entirely dependent on the content we own and control, is far too small.”

And yet, the artists are signing the contracts allowing these songs to be used and are thrilled by the results. Video game publishers and developers are happy, consumers are happy, and the artists are happy. The only one not happy is the major record labels and RIAA. Wow. Shocker.
