Can the content owner Veto the sale?
The situation is some of the licenses were written as long as 8 years ago. Todays Internet is nothing like it was then. So licenses have changed. Megarotic or Zango or a similar company can buy a company and use the content within the terms of the license and severely harm the content providers other clients and the content provider.
