Perhaps it was the mention of disputed fair use that caught my attention.
Jackson Browne is not a conservative AND has a history of not allowing his music to be used in ads. Yet, part of “Running on Empty” evidently was matched to video in a McCain presidential ad.
Now, the lawyers are involved. Perhaps the participants failed to read the new treatise on copyright and fair use. Should politicians (and teachers) be models for the rest of us? It is interesting to read what lawyers have to say.
