    Music licensing is complicated as hell.

    How are you so sure the indie devs got it right when big companies screw it up all the time?

      And what does that have to do with anything this article is pointing out here? They’re not suing small indie developers for using unlicensed music they’re talking about suing a store front that sells games that already has a damn license for their games. Hell they used examples of the large publishers here not even making a case that indie companies are the issue with them probably because indie studios aren’t using big name artist unlike the large publishers they’re pointing to.

      No good sir, you do not get to provide a non-sequitur as a valid argument.

      Explain how it’s perfectly valid to sue a store to make them obtain a music usage license for selling a games that has already licensed their music in their games. Explain how they are liable for music used in the games they simply sell and don’t develop.
