Some followup here... So, if WB hears a release from RDJ they don't like, technically they don't have to license it. I guess if they think it will sell buckets, they'll release it. But a licensing deal would be of minimal risk to WB, unless the contract/deal states they will license X releases from Warp in Y length of a time period. In that case, near the end of the time period, they might be pushed to license stuff or cough up cash. Will "Donkey Rhubarb" make a US cd single? Hrm...
