You’re right. It would cost the sky.

The issue is always with copyright. That’s why I spent almost 40 years refusing to allow anyone to make a profit, me especially, off these pieces. When YouTube came along and let the owners of the music or video puts ads on them, I was ecstatic. Finally I was getting legitimate permission and they were getting something in return.

Occasionally, I’ll use a song from a show and those will generally give an overview of the story of the show. My favorite is a song from Meow, the Secret Boy. Korean.

A girl is in love with a boy who seems to love her, too. But a misinterpretation about a kitten that he thinks she’s deserted breaks them apart and he gives the kitten to another girl. Years later, the girl is giving up the cat and the original girl wants the cat. But once she has it in her house, she doesn’t know that the cat turns into a boy when he’s around her. Cue boy living with girl who doesn’t know she’s living with him.

But then the boy she loves discovers that the cat boy IS living with her and suggests that she get her cat neutered. The girl is a cartoonist and once she learns about her cat boy friend, she drops the cartoon she was making about her original love, and makes a cartoon of her new relationship. But the cat boy is losing his ability to stay a boy. The question of the show is whether the cat boy will ever return, or he will die as her cat.

Now this is the story that has to be crushed into the 3 minutes of the song from the show. Original boy often in red. Cat boy often in white.

I’m beginning to understand why they’re making a pretty big splash in certain countries looking for a change of pace from the expensive (in terms of broadcast rights) multi-season mega productions typical of the work product from American studios.
