thinkprogress.org — Last night at the conclusion of the GOP convention, the Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign blasted the song “Barracuda” by Heart. The tune is meant to be a theme song for Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), whose high school nickname was reportedly “Sarah Barracuda.” The problem is that the McCain campaign never obtained legal permission to use the song.

And for the 12,000,000th time today, someone, somewhere, illegally downloaded a song.

McCain should have used Heart's "Crazy on You" for his theme song, because he is going to go crazy on you, and everyone else if he's elected emperor.

use of any music once it is sold or published is called "fair use" according the the US Constitutional law, has been, and likely always will be.that said, it's time for the 'Raising McCain' song.

Funny how all of you are sticking up for Heart while the vast majority have gigabytes of illegal songs sitting on your liberal hard drives.

The McCain camp must have had permission from the record companies. However, the artists are the ones that end up asking that their songs don't get played after the fact.
