Like if Harmonix Licensed a song from Band X a few months ago but hasn't gotten to fully authoring the track. Then someone contacts that same band, and the band forgot they licensed the song already and lets them use the song for RBN.
Would the song get blocked?

What happens if someone fully licenses a song that HMX already has in the pipeline?

Harmonix, thanks to Jimi Hendrix Experience, you've made sure I never will say one bad word about your company!

Bands don't "forget" things like that. I can't possibly see this happening.
