why is bush* campaign still using song "You're Still the One"?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

didn't Hall's attorney write a letter requesting them to stop using it because they do NOT support bush* and that they support Kerry?

[Bluebear]

1. They stopped using it

5. More of bush on the defense...

"Later, upon learning of the campaign's decision to pull the song, Hall welcomed the news and said, "It's obviously attractive as a slogan, but this election should be about content and facts."


Hall is also concerned that political use of the song could hurt its commercial appeal, scaring away advertisers. "Still the One" has been used by Applebee's, Burger King and the ABC network, according to Hall.


The songwriter said the campaign never sought permission to use the song, raising questions about royalty fees.


"If you have protectable copyrights to a song and someone is using it without permission, and especially if they know they're using it without permission, there is some sort of legal liability there and it may be that they could be required to pay royalties at the very least," said Daniel Healy, an intellectual property lawyer at the firm Anderson, Kill & Olick."


Hall sounds like one cool dude! He already "turned down $10,000" from a bunch of Maryland repuglicans to perform at a fundraiser!

2. That song is SO lame for a campaign, first of all.

"We're still havin' fun"?

I mean, really?

Yeah, so fun to have American soldiers dying daily.

3. exactly...but bush is a seriel killer and he does enjoy killing

[Cha]

6. It's very lame..but it's bush

all over again. What does he care about the sadness his policies have wrought?

bush is the one who joked about WMD and crackled for no reason at the 3rd debate..and mockingly imitated Karla Faye Tucker pleading for her life.

4. They played it in New Hampshire today.

8. Speaking of New Hampshire..do you

have any facts on Kerry's rally there on Sunday?

I looked on his website but could find no future Rally dates.

I want to know where in New Hampshire and what time? I'm thinking maybe my sister and I can drive up from New York!

Thanks!
