It is too short of a byte of the song, for anything other than them just not using that again any time soon.
For some odd reason, the misinformed have once again been told, that the entire song was played.

It was 5 seconds as they were going to a break.

Ignorance controls the fools.

I was agreeing with you, Rggr. I wasn't trying to be confrontational with you at all, and I apologize if you took it that way. I did add some stuff as an addition to your comment.

The music biz has a lot of obscure complications that most folks don't know about, so I only attempted to clarify your post to those who may not have understood all of it.

The U.S. Code doesn't set the rights and limitations for a specific copyright owner. The code is only a general guideline, not an actually copyright licensing agreement.

Please be quiet. You have no idea what you are talking about. The issue has nothing to do with how much of the song was played.

Yet the laws do!
The length of the part of the song played, is the part where it is legal, or illegal to do.
You are trying to imply, something that has been legal to do for decades, is now illegal to do.
Making, or changing the laws as you go, seems to be the norm these days.

I know, the truth hurts you, more than the lies you tell.

Please research how fair use does not apply to corporations in the way that it does to non-commercial entities. It is much more limited. And as Fox News was not critiquing REM's song, but using it to critique the DNC, fair use does not apply. Once again, you don't know what you are talking about.

Just like when druggie Limbaugh uses the Pretenders environmental song on his hate filled radio show.

Moron Limbaugh never bothered to listen to the lyrics to realize what the song is about. When confronted he responded with his usual "I meant to do that" or "It's a joke"

Yeah, sure

In Limbaugh's defense (ugh, I just threw up a little ), Limbaugh has a license of which the Pretenders are a part, so he was within his right to use that song. However, the Pretenders could revoke that right like Peter Gabrielle did after Limbaugh used his songs.

I'm not saying Limbaugh didn't have a legal right, I'm saying he foolishly played a pro environment song on his show

In reading again, I see where I misunderstood your post. I apologize - my fault.

A little out of context, don't you think?
But if faux and rush tell you, it must be true.
