Different music on DVDs, aargh.

This has opened my eyes to something that's been going on a long time and yet somehow there's no public outcry. Apparently, for legal copyright reasons, DVDs often have different music to the original TV programmes. I didn't know this until I was recently watching a DVD of Pulling, and waiting with glee for the opening of S1e4 - Donna wakes up in bed with the diminutive, hearing-impaired barman from the pub on the morning of her 30th birthday. There's never been a programme like Pulling for really NAILING the appropriate mood music, and the music playing is "Smile Like You Mean It" by the Killers.

Now, I'm not a fan of the Killers but that music fits the scene perfectly, and I found it tremendously moving, so much so that I had to find the track and load it onto my MP3.

The DVD has a tune on it for that intro, and it's a good tune - but it's not THAT tune. (I can't remember what it is) And the makers of the programme - which approaches TV perfection as closely as anything else I can think of - MEANT it to be "Smile Like You Mean It" for a reason. Because it's perfection, it's art. So how dare they change it, for such a relatively trivial reason as copyright?
