eBay Forums: Jackson Brown Sues McCain On Illegal ...
Jackson Browne sues John McCain over song use
Jackson Browne is suing John McCain for using the song "Running on Empty" in a campaign ad -- and the veteran rocker is also calling the candidate a great pretender when it comes to standing up for constitutional rights.
Browne, one of rock music's most famous activists for liberal causes, is "incensed" that the presumptive Republican candidate for president has been using Browne's signature 1977 song "Running on Empty" in campaign commercials, according to the singer-songwriter's attorney.
Browne filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against both McCain and the Republican National Committee on Thursday in U.S.
District Court in Los Angeles seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting the use of the forlorn arena anthem or any other Browne compositions, as well as damages.
They may be suing the wrong people.
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers tells our colleague Seema Mehta in Colorado that the ad in question is not a McCain campaign ad but one put together by the Ohio Republican Party.
But Browne's attorney, Lawrence Y.
Iser, says they have the right defendants.
"We have sued the Ohio Republican Party as well, and we have been informed and believe that McCain and his campaign were well aware of the ad.
We are also informed and believe that the ad was broadcast on television in Ohio and Pennsylvania....
The fact that it appears on the Internet means it also reaches an audience well beyond those states."
Iser said the lawsuit "is not politically motivated.
It's a copyright infringement lawsuit, pure and simple, but the fact that Sen.
McCain has used this song in a hit-piece on Barack Obama is anathema to Jackson."
Iser claims the McCain campaign has a track record of using music without permission.
"They used a John Mellencamp song until he made them stop and he used an ABBA song and a Frankie Valli song -- it's ridiculous and it's setting a terrible example," Iser said.
"It's shocking that they don't even attempt to get permission.
There's no copyright difference between using a song to sell cars or by people running for president.
The music industry continues to suffer due to lack of respect for intellectual property rights, and a candidate for president has a duty to lead by example and ensuring their campaign does as well.
The copyright protections are derived from the Constitution itself."

Typical republican carp.
Dole did the same thing when he used 'soul man' for his campaign without the songwriters permission.

Not true, McCain purchased copyright permission through a Chinese intellectual property rights lawyer.

Since when has the post-Goldwater GOP been the least bit concerned about rules and regulations???
It's all about what THEY want and details only apply to the little people.
God gave us dogs so we would understand what He meant by love,
and gave us cats so we could learn what He meant about serving others.

Which obviously means he has surrendered all rights to his musical works, right?

As I was enjoying a lovely dinner of pasta with homemade red sauce, all homegrown ingedients besides the salt and pepper, it struck me that my generation of almost 50's crowd really fell down in not buying into the remastered 5.1 audio of the stuff we grew up listening to...
Carole King was sonically sitting in my lap as I twirled spaghetti...
Instead, the record companies are promoting the likes of..
Britney Crotch and Amy Whinehose in smooshed down, over processed, crappy two channel audio..

Jackson Browne a has been?
I doubt it. He's a prolific song writer for well over thirty years, and still does many concerts.
Besides, I don't see him hanging out on ebay town square, which tells me he's much more wise with his time and life than those of us sittting here tonight..and probably better off financially,too.

Why is it that republicans can never do anthing the RIGHT way?
They always have to try to get around anything they want to do, instead of going thru the proper channels.

John really needs to talk with his people, Mike Myers is also pissed and threatened legal action.
Hilton was not amused, although she was amusing.
Wasn't there also something with Mellencamp?
