Character.ai was gutted in 2024 for $2.5 billion so Google could rehire one of the original authors of the Attention Is All You Need paper, but it hung in there for two years under Google’s “licensing” deal. This is the first of many I’m afraid. This is all being kept alive by venture capital.

This isn't anywhere near that bad, fortunately. Getty manages the (expensive) licensing, but the Crown and TVNZ still own the archives.
But ... I'm not sure how to square the Creative Commons BY 2.0 licence for all the NFU stuff on YouTube with the licensing business.

That Narnia trailer is probably the most expensive trailer in film history. Licensing "Stairway to Heaven" (and "Fire on High" too) probably cost The Big Red One $3 million. I'm not kidding.

worst case scenario for someone else getting hold of oracle's database licensing business, go
Oracle, 29th largest company in the world, led by Larry Ellison, books looking bad, bet huge on AI, tens of billions in negative cash flow, and if the company goes down, there’s a good chance it takes the AI bubble and Skydance down with it.

'Link: The Faces of Evil' and 'Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon' released on this day in 1993.
Developed under a licensing agreement, owing to Nintendo's dealings with Philips. These two action-adventure Zelda titles have gone down in infamy, primarily for their uncanny animation.
