Guitar Hero World Tour - don't expect to post covers of other bands' songs

We posted this article last week, but there’s an important snippet worth posting on its own. A portion of a 1up interview with project director Brian Bright…

1UP: Let me lay out a scenario for you. I get the game, and there’s this awesome music creator, and I’m going to do the guitar track for “Stairway to Heaven.” I’m going to make this. You know people are going to do that. And I make it, and I think it’s awesome, and I play it, and I love it, and I’m like, “Other people are going to want to play this, so I’m going to upload it!” What happens when a guy like me wants to share his “Stairway to Heaven” guitar track with everyone else? Are you guys going to wait for someone to ask you take these things down? Or are you going to actively police that kind of thing?

BB: We’ll be actively monitoring the site. And, obviously, if the copyright holder complains, Activision will pull it down immediately. We can’t condone people putting up covers of music. It’s really there for original content.

Does Activision plan to have people watching uploads 24 hours a day?!
