You must be joking with that.

That said I don't like the song so I'd be happy if they drop it. anytime a song is played the person who has rights to the song gets paid, and they have the option to not have their song or their image played somewhere. If an artist doesn't want their song played during a game, or their song sung on american idol.. that's their right. They don't want it played at a convention, that's their right since they own that song. Not true. They have a right to royalties (if the song is used to make money, which it was not here). I could setup speakers and blast Heart from the rooftop here 24/7 - and aside from driving downtown Portland crazy with bad 80s music, and possibly violating a noise ordinance, I'm well within my rights. You can play it on your rooftop as much as you want, but you're not broadcasting it on national TV. Songs on TV shows (including the convention) have to be cleared by the band/artist/music label. For example, on American Idol, the contestants have to pick from a list of cleared songs that artists approved to be on TV. They can't just pick or broadcast anything they want.

If someone that heard that song went and bought the album, more exposure for them. The more money they make. It's not like they're still relevant. If their sales increase because of it being played and they actually make some money, then I hope they apologize for causing all this rukus. Plus, it's true. She is a barracuda and I love that about her.

That said I don't like the song so I'd be happy if they drop it. Not true at all. There is a famous case that says if you own a public swimming pool and you play an artists song at the pool, you can be sued for an ASCAP or BMI infringement if you don't pay royalites. Anytime music is played publically, royalites must be paid. Even if you have a business and when a customer is on the phone on hold and you have music playing from the radio, this violates the rules of ASCAP and BMI. I have been involved in lawsuits where my clients have been sued by ASCAP and BMI, and have represented bar owners who have played a radio in their bar, have been asked to pay royalties several times, and refused. They were sued in federal court. It was me and my partner, against all these New York corporate attorney's. After two days of trial, we settled. lol Edited By: drp4video 09/05/2008 10:42 PM.

Heart gets publicity and royalties, while the Republicans benefit from "the ingenious placement of a kick-ass song," Fisher said. But in a subsequent email, Fisher said he strongly endorsed the Democratic ticket, and would donate a portion of royalties he receives from the Republicans' airing of "Barracuda" to the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama. "With my contribution to Obama's campaign, the Republicans are now supporting Obama," he said.
