In a nutshell...

Funimation wants to use different music for GT. Faulconer throws a tantrum and gives out personal Funimation emails to fans and telling them to email them asking his company to return to scoring GT. Funimation or Faulconer sues and a legal case goes on. Legal case is ended where if any piece of Faulconer Productions music is played on TV, Mr Faulconer gets royalties but he doesn't get any royalties from any home media release.

At least that's how I understand how it happened.

Also just a nitpick but please use "Faulconer Productions" when referring to the dub score since Mr Faulconer wasn't the only one who worked on the score. Scott Morgan (cRookie_Monster here on Kanzenshuu) was one of the four who worked on the score.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
