Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich faces a lawsuit over his use of Eye of the Tiger, the theme song to the movie Rocky III, court documents show.

The claim for copyright infringement, lodged on Monday by Rude Music Inc in an Illinois federal court, relates to Gingrich's use of the song at his political rallies.

i believe it's pretty easy and relatively cheap to use a song commercially, but i guess it's above newt's pay grade.

I have no doubt that Calitwat will be along shortly to revile Newt's disrespect for intellectual property rights.

Why does the president steal to support his and his wife's vacation habit?

Please explain how Obama has stolen anything.


As I recall didn't Palin or some Tea party group get told to stop using another copyrighted song?

Implying that the misdeeds of one politician somehow excuses those of another, makes you a partisan fuckstain. But I imagine you know that already.

Oh, Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. "Stealing". Don't be an ignorant twat.

This sort of argument has been going on ever since the advent of recorded music, and it's basically settled law that playing a song at a campaign rally is NOT a violation of US copyright law. I remember Bruce Springsteen trying this same crap on Reagan over the song, "Born In The USA". Would you like to accuse Ronald Reagan of "stealing", too? Or how about Obama using "Soul Man", or John McCain using songs by Van Halen, the Foo Fighters, ABBA, John Mellencamp, and Heart?

Under American copyright law, only the composer is entitled to royalties from a public performance of his song, and those royalties are paid through a blanket license issued to the venue, not to the person performing or playing the song or the person holding the rally. The person who actually performed the recording is SOL on that score. If someone would like to suggest that the venues where his rallies have played the song have not kept their blanket licenses paid up, well, then THEY can be sued, but it's still not Newt's fault.

Now, if Newt had been using the recordings in campaign advertisements without permission from the legal owner of the recording, that would be different.

I like this part:

The complaint states that the violation it alleges is intentional since Gingrich is "sophisticated and knowledgeable" concerning copyright laws.

I'm sure he is, which is why he knows he doesn't have to pay that dickwad anything.

Fair enough. The entire Republican race for the nomination and debate process is both amusing and terrifying.

A thead by any other name is still a thead.

So it is ok to steal copyrighted material?

You would think different if it was YOUR copyrighted material.
