freestyle of why the music industry hates guitar hero

The music industry hates guitar hero and other music games that they say has taken money from them in the past. People in the music industry want it to stop, but the games being stopped would only hurt them in the end.  I think that the music games could increase business in the music industry if the CEO and publishers use it to their advantage. The music industry does not need to complain about the game makers; instead it should work with them to sell more products. This topic of how the music industry feels about game makers of music is interesting and could use more details to explain about the situation. I thought before reading the story that the music industry would be upset about losing money, so my thought was right. I just do not understand that if they are so upset why they would not just talk to the makers and make a business deal with them. Better money could be made for the music industry by labels and titles. Even if the license is a small price at first, it will help turn it into a big income in the end. In doing so the music industry could introduce new artists or bring back older ones. The music industry could make money off of the artists and the games as well so that they would get a win in the situation. I learned a little about how the music industry feels, but I am interested in knowing more to fully understand what the games are doing to make the industry hate them.
