That's awful. Stuff like this is why I mourn the loss of MTV and VH1; they would actually license artists' music in their Behind the Music documentary episodes, I discovered a lot of artists that way.

The Beavis & Butthead and Daria shows in the '90s also used a lot of licensed music. When the DVD versions arrived in the mid-2000s, the music was removed and replaced by stock instrumentals; I'm not sure the torrents of the original versions are even being seeded anymore.

That's so annoying- that can replace the entire feel of a scene!

In the Unsolved instance I was annoyed because I was like, huh, I don't know this song let me go check it out, I thought I knew his whole catalogue! and then it was frustrating that it was just "him" singing some nonsense fake song. Just eery how they used an identical sounding voice too.

I found the Daria Restoration Project online a few years ago. Haven't watched it yet, because the quality is more in line with 2000s Limewire DivX files. But if I do decide to watch the show, it should be with the original music.
