How can WWE use WCW themes on DVDs?
 
Well, I know they can't use them all (nWo for example), but for example, Jericho's or Rey's theme wasn't made for them. I'm sure that Time Warner owned or even still owns it.

Do they just not pursue it or was there something in the buyout that said they owned this footage as-is or am I way off the mark here?

I'm sorry.

I'm still distracted by Mickie James.

Well both Jericho's & Mysterio's WCW Themes aren't actually owned by Time Warner, they're actually production themes, along with the nWo's theme.

I'm sure the WWE got this information when they bought out WCW and they had to purchase the production themes themselves so they could legally use them.

But I think the reason some themes aren't used on DVD's and so on is because the company that created the theme said no to the WWE using it for financial gain. :-\

I hope that answers your question in some way.

I laughed in Jericho's book where he mentioned his excitement about getting a theme, and his dissapointment when he realized it was Basketball Highlights #5 from TNT

LOL yes, LOVED that. Always call it that whenever I hear it, too.

Maybe they have some sort of right to anything that was part of the tape library. Or maybe Turner's lawyers just don't care? Based on how things were when the company was going under I wouldn't be suprised if none of this stuff was covered in the sale

Yeah id imagine since they own the tape library that if its on the tapes theyre entitled to use it. Its different for shit like rockhouse though, that was edited out of later prints of wrestlemania 18 for instance since the company that owns it stil exists.
