Romney Busted Again For Abusing Copyright Laws

How can you run the United States of America if you can't obey copyright laws? According to Mitt Romney he knows how to run a company. Guess he forgot to read the tiny lettering that serves as a well protected complete stop. Not a jiggle or wiggle followed by something that resembles a stop then a quick left or right at a light. California stops and the use of copyrighted material without written permission is illegal... The NFL, NBA NASCAR and John Stewart Show don't spit out tiny print or physically use lawyer speak to take up time. It's hell when dimes are made off what your imagination creates without splitting a chunk of the final pie. Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister immediately put a halt to Romney using We're Not Gonna Take It. And now there's word of Thin Lizzy singer Philip Lynott's mother stepping up and out about ripping out the speed bumps and forcing the political team to stop using The Boys Are Back In Town. She says her son would have objected to Republicans using his music as part of their campaign, because he would've disagreed with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on issues including gay marriage and taxes. Rollingstone Magazine reconnects us with Lynott who co-founded Thin Lizzy, writing the band's 1976 hit "The Boys Are Back in Town," which played as Ryan took the stage last week at the Republican National Convention to accept his party's nomination for vice president. Mom clarifies, "As far as I am concerned, Mitt Romney's opposition to gay marriage and to civil unions for gays makes him anti-gay – which is not something that Philip would have supported," If music's your motivation stay connected because Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine is making history on more than then the protesting streets of New York City. The most recent edition of RollingStone features the genius of strings outraged by Paul Ryan's confession of being a fan of the band. Wow talk about profiling! Under the current leadership of America there aren't any rules against "not" fitting in with the look. But trust me, one bad step onto Tom's copyrighted parts and his rage against a machine will reach around the world faster than Napster being hit by Metallica. Political figures racing for decision making positions aren't challenging copyright laws...they push and pull until someone finally speaks. Ronald Reagan gave a new face to Springsteen's Born In The USA. Bill Clinton didn't need MTV to rewrite the meaning of Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop. Nearly two decades after being used I hit the radio dial. I'm sure not reliving my love for the Rumors album but rather a political reelection. What do you think? Being that most politicians are lawyers...should they be granted enough leeway to stop using copyrighted material or should they face criminal charges on the campaign trail? It kind of reminds me of the rattlesnake story that bites the little boy, "You knew what I was when you picked me up." arroe@arroe.net
