Man, this is so Political Campaigning 101. What the hell is wrong with these doofuses?
WASHINGTON — In Web ads and at campaign appearances, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul sometimes has called on the music of the band Rush to give his message a little pop.
It turns out the campaign wasn’t using the music with the band’s permission, according to Rush’s attorney, Robert Farmer.
Farmer, general counsel for the Anthem Entertainment Group Inc. in Toronto, which is Rush’s record label, has sent a letter to Paul campaign officials informing them that they have violated copyright laws — and urging them to stop.”This is not a political issue — this is a copyright issue,” Farmer said in an interview. “We would do this no matter who it is.”
Besides, all three members of Rush — Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart — are Canadians, not Americans, he pointed out.
