    Valve profited, Valve is liable, Valve is a lot easier to get money out of than a bunch of indie studios that don’t exist any more.

    With great margins comes great responsibility.

      No. The publishers and developers have already paid for the right to use the music.

      This is would be akin to having your local record store also pay a licensing fee to sell a CD or a movie store pay a license fee for selling a movie that has music in it.

      It’s a bullshit frivolous lawsuit.
