Master Hydraffe: It has nothing to do with the fact that the song is a post-JDU alt. But I was explaining the likely reasons why we're getting this alt to begin with. It has nothing to do with "Chiwawa" being a post-JDU alt and everything to do with it having been extremely cheap to produce an Alt for.

SayWha: It is not necessarily negotiated per song title. They can be negotiated on a per-use basis. Like so: "Hey, I want to use a 30 second snippet of your song in my game" "Alright, 5000 dollars". "What if I want to use it 4 times, once in its entirely, other times in snippets?" "Alright, 14000 dollars". If they licensed every single song in JD4 and forward for unlimited streaming use on both JDU and JDN, how come JDU does not yet have every single or routine from any game, including JD4 and onward, especially JD2015, the game that directly preceeeded JD2016, especially when so many of them are so popular among longtime fans? I think it's much more likely they don't have the rights to stream every single song for any pre-JDU game for Unlimited than they owning the streaming rights for JDU for all games JD4 and onwards and having chosen to just not include the vast majority of them on JDU for reasons that must be stupid.

It's extremely unlikely Ubisoft has been sitting on the JDU streamings for every song from JD4 onwards (or even JD2015) for over a year now and done absolutely nothing with them. Heck, most of the additions to the JDU server since launch have been songs prior to JD4.
