the wonder years 一直没出dvd原来是该片中用了不少有名的歌曲，现在没钱购买这些音乐的使用权
早听说有一些老电视剧，当年播的时候用到一些歌曲作为插曲和背景，电视剧和唱片公司签约都是一次使用，不像电影是“买断”所有其使用的音乐作品。如果电视剧再次播放，还要重新给唱片公司付费。所有，有些电视剧无法再次播放，因为如果按唱片公司的要求付使用音乐的钱，播放该片就没有利益或者入不敷出了。
我万万没想到我最喜爱的电视剧之一“the wonder years”就是这样下场。我说怎么这么多年它都没出dvd呢。
The Wonder Years Unavailable On DVD Due To Music Licensing Rights
from Techdirt by Michael Masnick
One of the tragedies of ridiculous music licensing practices has been that TV shows that involved great music can no longer be seen -- because when they were first aired, there was no aftermarket, and so no rights were cleared with the music owners. The famous case is the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati, which tried to get around the issue by replacing all the great classic rock in the original, with crappy new music -- really harming the quality of the show. Tom sent in a note pointing out that the classic 80s TV show The Wonder Years is actually facing a similar issue, and because of it, the show is not available on DVD. The show was famous for integrating great music into the overall show -- clearing all that music for a DVD release is apparently too difficult, leading to an overall loss to society and culture.

这部片子是从80年代一个成年人回忆自己60年代的儿童和少年生活。里面用的音乐我都非常喜欢，因为能表现当时的时代特点。有些音乐人和音乐和特定历史时期紧紧绑在一起了。音乐选对了，感觉就到了。很好地运用了音乐，本是该剧的一个亮点。现在因为变态的版权法和贪心的出版商，而。。。。
采取有些电视连续剧因为出盘和重播的时候没钱付费给唱片公司，采取替换原来选用音乐的做法，至少不适合 the wonder years。
说 wonder years 大家不熟悉，很难找到具体我说得什么意思。为了方便大家理解，试想一下，你看 Quentin Tarantino 的电影，但电影的插曲和配乐都变了，什么感觉。不对味了吧。
看来 wonder years 出过没有音乐插曲的DVD 参阅： http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wonder_Years#DVD_releases
