One would think, though, if it really was a net benefit for artists to have their music on Guitar Hero, which I think it is, then there should be competition to get one's music on the game and what GH has to pay artists should decrease to the point where the artists ARE paying the video game company. It will be interesting to watch as Guitar Hero has newer versions and possibly becomes more popular.
