Nothing like panicked lefty rock 'stars' having their panties in a knot.

[Signalman]

I thought after 25 years, a song becomes part of the “public domain”.

[bmwcyle]

Rock Stars stop using our country.

[madison10]

Why stop the Dems used songs by Brooks and Dunn without permission?

[KoRn]

Can the bands and or record labels legally compel someone not to play their music? Does that not violate “Fair Use” provisions?

[goldstategop]

Who cares? They're so dated if they don't want Americans to listen to their songs!

[Dutch Boy]

They should be glad we are using their songs. At least they are getting play. When is the last time you heard a Heart song not on Muzak?

[UCFRoadWarrior]

At least Brooks & Dunn didnt throw a hissy-fit when Obama started using their song “Only In America”...I guess the difference between leftists and conservatives/moderates...

[GingisK]

Oh, the GOP should stick to music written by capable people. “Flight of the Valkyire” or something classy and uncopyrighted by twits.

What I don’t understand is if the campaign is paying royalties to ASCAP or BMI to play licensed music, it really doesn’t matter what the artist says.

[defconw]

A bunch of has beens. I hope they realize that when they shoot their big mouths off, people like me stop buying their music.

[mrmargaritaville]

not sure which one of the wilson sister it is-but the “fat one’s” panties in a bunch is a BIG bunch.

[Texas4ever]

Who gives a flip. They are old and has beens, seen them on that old rock show trying to sell CD’s like 90 of them for $19.95, but wait there’s more....

Notice its old I want to be on tv again crowd, Jackson I beat my girlfriend Brown, Nancy I need Nutrisystem Wilson,
John I cant find a job Melancamp.

[ladyvet]

I don’t know why the Republican’s don’t stick with country music and artists.

[NavVet]

They've decided to rename the band “Obese Fat Chicks against Palin”

[RedMonqey]

Stop Using Our Songs!!

O.K. In return, I throw in the "We'll Stop buying Your songs" for free.

[Will88]

I thought the the usage of copyrighted music was handled by organizations like ASCAP, and that anyone who paid the appropriate royalty could use the music.

I also heard a radio DJ who should have known say that “fair use” allows anyone to use 22 seconds of a song without paying any royalty. (I don’t agree with that sort of “fair use” which requires no royalty, if that’s how is it).

Does anyone really know how this works legally?

[FlingWingFlyer]

As long as Chuck Berry don’t start this crap, I’m okay with it. I’m a bigtime Chuck Berry fan. Go Johnny Go!

[gop4lyf]

The song “Barracuda” is on Guitar Hero 3. I played it last night while watching Sarah Palin on Youtube!

[NewJerseyJoe]

I am still waiting for Springsteen to come out with a Sarah Palin song. If there's ever been a politician whose family story is reflected in Springsteen lyrics, it's Sarah Palin: blue-collar workers, teen pregancies, working hard for the American dream, etc.

I probably shouldn't hold my breath waiting.

Who needs Heart when you got John Rich and Raisin McCain?
