What was that group you sent me a link to? “Sonseed,” or something?
Since Gitmo and other terrorist spa / resorts are not 'public' areas, I don't believe that the issue of royalties would apply because the 'music' is not being publicly broadcast.
The usage in this case could be likened to playing music at a party for your friends, with the notable exception being that the terrorists are most definitely not friends of the troops and my understanding is that the food served to the terrorists is considerably better than what's served to our troops and quite a bit better than what's been served at many parties I've been to. The terrorists are also not allowed to leave the party at a whim although that is a matter that the Left / terrorist enablers are desperately trying to change.
Ted Nugent should record some torture music and let the military use it as desired.
If it works to break murderers .. what’s it doing to our lovely children?
Have at it.
My kids tortured me with that music during their teen age years. I am sure it will break the most stubborn terrorists.
I guarantee you will go crazy listening to that 24/7.
The RIAA is investigating... to see if any of the songs have been illegally downloaded and that the Army has paid their ASCAP dues.
Whiny little liberal greedy girly-men, the lot of ‘em.
Music from Barney and Friends is obnoxious in ANY language or culture!.............
Horrible, to us, but to them , maybe not..............That muslim prayer screeching is music to them........
ok that’s bad - really bad
If we fail to pay the royalty each and every time we torture somebody, somebody is going to be in mucho trouble!!
Let me add a few of my favorites to that repetoire...
“Bark At The Moon” - Ozzy Osborne
“Highway Star” - Deep Purple
“Looks That Kill” - Motley Crue
“White Punks On Dope” - The Tubes
Thankfully, there are at least a few exceptions. From the posted article:
Some musicians, however, are proud that their music is used in interrogations.
Bassist Stevie Benton, whose group Drowning Pool has performed in Iraq and recorded one of the interrogators’ favourites, Bodies, said: “People assume we should be offended that somebody in the military thinks our song is annoying enough that played over and over it can psychologically break someone down.
“I take it as an honour to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that.”
“before you could actually concentrate on something else, try to make yourself focus on some other things in your life that you did before and take that pain away...it makes you feel like you are going mad”.
Like raping a prepubescent girl.
British Rock Bands:
“Stop torturing people with out music!”
Give’em Hinson!

Sweet pain!
Have you heard his version of "Mr. Tambourine Man"? An All Shatner tune rotation could shorten the war considerably.
Thank you! that was very informative.
