Did you know that Rush Limbaugh DOES NOT have permission to use his theme?
Today the Pretenders were announced as being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The announcer gives a fact after each artist is listed. When he mentioned the Pretenders he said Rush Limbaugh uses one of their songs as a theme & they tried to have it removed (which it was for a short period of time)Well, I guess the record label gave him permission NOT the Pretenders. That sucks!
which is generally about 7 seconds but this doesn't fit. Fair use is for illustrative use or incidental use - not for someone's theme song which gets played every day and then becomes associated with their production.
...I used to play that Pretenders song and I would always introduce it as "Rush Limbaugh stole this song from the Pretenders and tonight we're stealing it back!" :D
