Here's my scenario: Lots of famous bands are on myspace's music section. Let's imagine myspace.com decides to release a compilation album of TV On The Radio[1] and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs[2] along with some other local Brooklyn bands. Because of this license they can release the compilation album and sell it from a "sublicencee" company without notifying the bands who composed or performed the music. They own this product through and through. The bands might not be entitled to a percentage of the profit unless they or their laywers get involved. That's the point. -lee [1] http://www.myspace.com/tvotr [2] http://www.myspace.com/yeahyeahyeahs
