Can't they just remake a MIDI version and play that with no legal repercussions?

Perhaps its time for the composer to renegotiate a lower rate with the CBC?

I heard it was $500 PER PLAY not PER GAME. Also, there are countless commercials that use the music as well that advertise hockey night in canada.

Either way if they are about to lose the contract its best to renegotiate. Even if its half its still better than Zero!

Sign me up.

I'll wager it's a game of chicken to see who blinks first.

CBC is going to be innundated by viewer's demanding it keep the music...and she is unlikely to walk away from guaranteed income, even if it drops.

whatever. I gave up on hockey after the labour stoppage and the Leafs continued unwillingness to field a competitve team or hire competent management and staff.

Raps run a much better franchise (from a fan point of view).

I hate hockey all together and even think this is an outrage, lol

exactly right.
it's also a tiny fraction of what CBC pulls in from each hockey broadcast

Well, if you think about it, Hockey Night in Canada is only played on Saturday Nights on CBC. They usually only play it at the very beginning of the broadcast, if I remember correctly. Hockey season starts October til May. 8 months = 32 weeks. $500x32 = $16000.
So lets say they're paying her roughly $15000-$20000/year for royalties on the theme song...that's really nothing in a CBC budget, it's like keeping a part-time employee.

if they cannot come to an agreement the CBC has stated they will hold a contest for the new theme song......I smell a Deadmau5 entry into this.
