Audiosocket sued Ted Cruz in federal court Monday, charging that the former Republican presidential candidate and his campaign's Hollywood-based advertising firm used music that it owns for political purposes without permission.

According to GeekWire.com, the background music in the Cruz video titled "Victories" is from the recording "Lens" by Sarah Schachner. Likewise, the video "Best to Come," features music by Brad Couture called "Fear of Complacency."

Beating a dead horse is weak, especially when we have a geriatric Socialist and a Commie dyke in the running.

“They” is Madison McQueen.
There are no charges against anyone else.
There is a link to the complaint in the article.

Unless MM told Cruz or the campaign about the illegality of MM’s use of the songs I don’t see any culpability by Cruz.
But I guess it could depend on MM’s contract with the campaign.

Not even worth two dollars in my opinion: Fear of Complacency

Can't even find Lens by Sarah Schachner

That’s how they collect damages, they name everyone and hope for a deep pocket to collect $$.

I NEVER kid. Once Cruz is put in jail for life, the world will be a better, freer, and happier place.

Well, you're a chip off the old block!

>>Cruz is a menace to society and should be locked up forever.<<

Yeah, because that’s a rational reply.
