Yes, I understand that part of BC's post. It's the "didn't play long enough for the lyrics" I don't get.
In the lead up to MitD, I remember Bell threatening to not do the show when he found out he was going to have to pay for a music licensing agreement. I think he was under the impression since MitD was going to be web based, as opposed to an over the air program, he didn't need an agreement. He'd apparently never had to deal with licensing personally since it was taken care of at the network level.
