After jamming the RIAA up our asses for, um, downloading, it still amazes me how many Republicans just take other people's copyright protected music without permission and use it. Pretty much every Republican presidential candidate since Reagan stole music that was not theirs and used it on their campaigns. McCain was, though, the most egregious, because even after receiving his cease and desist letters, he just kept using the songs anyway.
With the Republican minority all gaga over their obstructionism, once again, a Republican [House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA)] steals a song. No royalties paid to the company that owns it; no permission to use the song; no permission from the artists to use it either.
Glad to see YouTube pull the video today. H/T to TPM.
