thanks god it's "news"radio.
Speaking of, I heard a rumor the aforementioned will be broadcast in Nick at Night over the summer.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I know people who are afraid Supernatural will never be released on DVD for that same reason.
Tell them not to fear! It's already been scheduled for release this August or September.
ETA: Found the link. September 5.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The owners of music are the same ones who won't let their lyrics be published on the web, never mind how you might feel about the RIAA shenanigans.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well that makes sense. It competes with the owners financial interests -- they want to sell the songs themselves, not have them down-loaded and carried around on i-Pods without getting a cut.
No one is carrying around their DVD player in order to listen to the music from TV episodes. Rather, if a customer likes the music enough they're going to track it down and buy it.

The only connection I've found between finding lyrics online and putting songs on my iPod is when reading the lyrics made me buy them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ah, I mis-read you.
Well that's stupid too. Unless its being used in some defamatory sense in either venue its only going to be positive (or have no effect at all). They should by all means protect their rights, but it would behoove them to come up with an easy contract for the new mediums.

I don't think the lyrics sites are seeking to pay for their content in any case; they're just using it either to sell advertising or install something on your computer.

The lyrics thing mystifies me, I don't see where they are losing anything there.
Now the DVDs make sense, you have the rights to music being used and you want to get as big a cut as you can. You don't want to take a smaller cut for a particular DVD release because that undermines your position for other deals, so maybe some deals don't get made. I doubt they are worried about the five people who are going to rip the ac3 stream, translate to mp3, and edit out the music.

I can see how they might not want to be associated with certain shows and/or plot events. But, basically a dumb idea.
As for the lyrics thing, apparently they go after those all-lyric sites, whose worst context is the amount of popups. Other than that, a place where fans go.
