Rockstar Removes Several Tracks from Grand Theft Auto IV via Licensing

This week, Rockstar Games removed a good chunk of the music from their 2008 game Grand Theft Auto IV, primarily because the game was only allowed a ten-year licensing agreement on this music and now it has to go before they're forced to pay royalties.
