News of Rock Bandâs new gamer-driven network which allows artists to upload and price their own music, didnât come without a warning and some help from Microsoftâs Xbox Live Enforcement Squad.
The Rock Band Network, which launches later this year for the 360, has artists submit their songs to a group of âHarmonix-trained freelance game developersâ who will prep the tracks for use in game.

program manager in charge of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live, told Kotaku.
âWe actually went out to Harmonix in March and talked to them about what if someone made a really obscene song,â Toulouse said.
Toulouse said he isnât too concerned about a copyrighted song or obvious obscenity sneaking through to the marketplace because of the human filters Harmonix has put in place.
âThe chances of it making it through the system is very low,â he said. âThey are using the community games pipeline which can report directly to us.â
And Toulouseâs team is involved both before the music is released and afterward, he said.
The trip to Harmonix in March is just an example of one of the ways the Live Enforcement Squad is working to make Live a safe and fun place for both gamers and publishers, he said.
