Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" May Prevent Release of Nintendo's JRPG in the West

A lawyer has explained that the reason why the beloved JRPG Mother 3 will most likely never see a Western release in its current form is due to copyright infringement in its music, which would fall afoul of current music copyright laws. The game's music features countless musical references throughout its soundtrack, including to the Batman theme, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Baby Elephant Walk, and even Beethoven. Mother 3's music is so integral to the game that it would be theoretically impossible for it to release in the West without changing its musical references, which would be a likely expensive process.
