Konami is asking websites to remove the Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes trailer revealed last weekend at the Penny Arcade Expo due to a licensing issue with a song used in the footage.

At this time it's unclear what song is causing the problem. One possibility is the song "Here's To You" by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez, though that remains unconfirmed. Konami was unable to say whether or not a new version of the trailer would be released at a later date.

Konami has been contacted for additional comment.

I... Don't understand...

Wait, we have to purchase and license songs for commercial use? Go figure...

Ennio Morricone has made some great songs like that one in the good the bad and the ugly.

oh c'mon, Konami! are the people who have the rights to "Here's To You" really complaining? hell, this gives them free exposure! what a whiney thing to do. BTW, Ennio Morricone is a genius. one of the best composers ever to grace film. everyone go check him out. now.

Snake?.... Snake?...... SNAAAAKE!!!!

Did Konami really fail to get the license to that song before the trailer released? I hope they solve this because it was a fitting song.

Man, I haven't even been able to finish watching it yet.

Trailer is all over video sharing sites by now, I guess they'll be attacking the likes of Youtube and such now.

An extremely long trailer. I wish the song would have been the only sound for a bit longer instead of cutting back into the sound effects.
by Primera77 Thursday, September 06, 2012 at 12:51 PM

NOOOOOSSS!!! I hope they put it back up

Wow.

F-F-F-fail.

This seems unprofessional?

This trailer is beautiful! Don't take it down!
by Boyzby Thursday, September 06, 2012 at 01:01 PM

That's pretty lame considering how amazing that trailer was. :/
by dreamaboutcheese Thursday, September 06, 2012 at 01:01 PM

That sucks, yes. But you know what sucks more? The fact that it is the first Thursday of the month and there's no GI cover reveal. What's going on?
by Cru Hunter Thursday, September 06, 2012 at 01:12 PM

From now on, no music! It could offend people and betray licensing agreements in the process! And while we're at it, no voice acting! They might accidentally put in the part where the actor said the f-bomb when he messed up his line! That betrays trust!

Good Move, show a trailer then take it away is a good way to create more buzz.

LAME
by ThisFreakinGuy Thursday, September 06, 2012 at 01:27 PM

That sucks. People nowadays are such asses when it comes to licensing.
