Apparently, the new holding company formed by the development team will keep for itself the rights to his series of music, especially Rock Band and Dance Central.

Apparently, the management of licensed music is not as complicated as the beginning of the 'era of rhythm game ", making it possible for the same Harmonix able to agree with the majors for the use of musical materials within the games . In short, even without the giant MTV Networks and Viacom, Harmonix plans to continue its way not only through the DLC to the games already out, but also with real new chapters, where appropriate.
