Aerosmith tells Cantor to stop using its music.
Aerosmith tells Cantor to stop using its music.
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) recently created a YouTube video called “The House GOP is Back,” which was set to the tune of Aerosmith’s “Back In The Saddle” and bragged about conservative opposition to the recovery package. But Stage Three Music, which owns the rights to the Aerosmith song, has objected to Cantor’s use of the song. TPM reports:
Cantor’s clip has been pulled from YouTube after a copyright infringement claim made by Stage Three Music, which owns the rights to “Back in the Saddle.” The GOP’s use of the tune “was something we, as the publishers, didn’t approve and would not have approved without going to the writers,” Connie Ashton, director of copyright and licensing at Stage Three, told me. “Aerosmith did not approve of its use and also wanted to have it taken down,” she added.
Ashton said that House Republicans never contacted Stage Three to request use of “Back in the Saddle.”

February 17th, 2009 at 8:19 pmIt doesn’t matter – he got his message out and got some headlines. The fact that the bands tells him to stop will not be in the MSM and the folks dumb enough to think it was “kewl” anyway couldn’t care less.
Glad you point it out, but until we are willing to blog about and organize action against the lying liars in the mainstream media that “catapult the propaganda”, these abuses of copyrighted music will go on and on.
And, believe it or not, it is very effective to their “base” – the “backwash” that still supports the neocon/repugs.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:20 pmRandomChaos, exactly!
Just another minor example of the Rs believing that they can do whatever they want without acknowledging that there are LAWS. Jebus!
February 17th, 2009 at 8:22 pmIf anyone on the planet is surprised, I have some swampland . . .
lol Nice.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:24 pmIt’s a shame none of these musicians and writers has sued. Republicans will only respond if they get hit in the wallet.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:27 pm“Aerosmith tells Cantor to stop using its music.” lol And I guess Cantor didn’t get the memo on the Jackson Browne’s lawsuit against Grumpy McSame on copyright infringement.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:29 pmopen letter to Republicans:
February 17th, 2009 at 8:32 pmUsing music without permission is stealing
STEALING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with gummitch–artists should sue–let them know they are BREAKING THE LAW!
Since when do republicans give a shit about breaking the law? Cantor is such an idiot that he didn’t know the song is about having a good time with a hooker. Well, then again, being a republican, maybe he did.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:33 pmI hope Steve Tyler sues the pants off Cantor so we can all laugh and point at how little Cantor’s you-know-whatsy is!
February 17th, 2009 at 8:34 pmIf the republicans keep this stuff up they are going to become the biggest comedy act in the country. Comedians everywhere must be agonizing about this because of the never ending free television exposure these ‘neocoms’ get.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:38 pmI hope Steve Tyler doesn’t sue me for writing Flag Pin. Not that I’ve performed it anywhere, or made any money from it. But still.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:40 pmSo the party that has an issue with a culture of corruption has morphed into a culture of copyright infringement! Either way you dress it up, it’s still a toe tapping party of the ignorant.

February 17th, 2009 at 8:45 pmWell, I recall that one of the bands that played during the RNC was called hookers and blow so Im assuming Cantor does know what the song was about…

February 17th, 2009 at 8:53 pmGregor Samsa – only reason they can get away with this is because of the media assets that they directly or indirectly control that “catapult the propaganda”.
Course, the politicians don’t have any media assets – they answer to the same criminal cabal.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:54 pmMaybe cantor should change his tune to “pushed out of the saddle” by a “dude looks like a lady”.

February 17th, 2009 at 9:21 pmI got a letter from Eric today begging for funds because the evil Nancy Pelosi (mentioned 22 freaking times in his letter) is already running attack ads against him on local media. I’ve not heard any. He also claims that stimulus funds may be used to fund a program called “Booty Call”. He was always sort of useless, he may now be insane.
February 17th, 2009 at 9:24 pmForget about flagging – let’s just institute a policy where everyone donates 1 or 5 or 10 dollars to the DNC for every troll post that pisses them off.
February 17th, 2009 at 9:24 pm“He also claims that stimulus funds may be used to fund a program called “Booty Call”.
apparently eric cantor wants to be the next newt gingrich so, that program would be right up his alley. however, after seeing and hearing him on t.v. something tells me the only “booty call” cantor would be doing would involve jeff gannon.

February 17th, 2009 at 10:33 pmEric Cantor Is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I first fell in love with his looks it reminded me of a comination of my two uncles that married my fairy godmother (my aunt) but fooled. He is just the opposite of them. He is a selfish jurk that if his wife diana dosent get any of the money, he will wont vote for the bill.

if you guys read the original post on that youtube I specifically said I would lay odds aerosmith did not give permission to use the song and someone should contact them
glad someone did
February 18th, 2009 at 12:14 amThe Republicans have a long history of using music without permission. The Bob Dole campaign was told to stop using the music to “I’m a Soul Man” to sing “I’m a Dole man.” Even further back, the Goldwater presidential campaign was told to stop using the “Hello Dolly” theme song, which the producer of the show ultimately offered free to LBJ.

Yep. He sent them all by himself, out of the blue, for no reason at all, with no support from any branch of government, simply inventing a fracas “over there,” because Botch did a darned fine job of making the US safe from terrorism.
And he spent 800 billion dollars all by himself, out of the blue, etc., because Botch did such a fine job of strengthening the US economically. And he knows nothing about “fo” where the money is going to come from because Botch left the US with such a surplus in the budget that the economy is thriving.
And an egregious example of neocons flaunting any law they choose whilst trying to accuse everyone possible of committing dire infractions on every level is just another youtube video.
You’re right.
How foolish of me to think that President Obama should try to better our country. How foolish of me to think that those who want to preach jot-and-tittle laws should obey them.

The Republicans are supposedly the great supporters of free enterprise and rights of owners. Yet just another example of conservatives saying one thing, but in reality doing the opposite. The GOP are nothing but liars, cheats and thieves.

Important to remember also that Virginia is a nexus of weapons and armament systems manufacturing. And that the primary export of Israel is weaponry.
Also, Wikipedia has many lines to read between. One item that is now missing is that Cantor had a relative who was killed in Tel Aviv by a suicide bomber.
February 18th, 2009 at 8:58 amAh, the sweet sound of a repug getting slapped for breaking the law.
I was sort of surprised they chose Aerosmith since repugs tend to live on the dark side of Rush’s moon. Even money they were stopped by brain damage.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:03 amRepublicans never ask for “permission”, they just take. They have a warped sense of entitlement.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:05 amThere is a word for almost everyone posting here. Hypocrites. None of you had a single concern over Geithner or Daschle’s tax evasion. It was repug attack dogs. anyone remember that? We’re supposed to being Thinking Progress and you clowns are making Democrats look like a bunch of HYPOCRITES! Admission of wrongdoing on our end makes us morally relevant when repugs do something unethical or illegal. Time to start being honest folks.

February 18th, 2009 at 9:42 amWhen will repugs get it….ROCK AND ROLLers are DEMOCRATES!!!!
Anytime a repug tries to use a R&R music, the publishing companies(following the direction of the writer)always demand there music not be used or face legal action.
You see, if they had to ask for permission, it would be embarrising to be told NO!!!
ROCK AND ROLLERS ARE ALL DEMS…..I hear Hank Williams is available as long as there is room for his fat head on stage!!!
Repugs….go ask Black Sabbeth if you can use the song…WAR PIGS!!! I think that songs fits your adgenda better.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:08 amHey drew3rd, You find the law that states you have to pay income taxes, I will change my affiliation to REPUBLICAN!
Find the wording of that law….I dare you too….get back to me when you have found it!!!
Don’t give up hope ,,,,keep looking becuase you won’t find one. Ask the IRS to provide you with the law.
First find the law…and then lets punish anyone who hasn’t payed back taxes!!
February 18th, 2009 at 10:12 amNolies, you go on and stop paying your taxes. We’ll see which one of us remains free from prison the longest. Of course, if you’re like most loony lefties, you probably don’t earn enough money to have to pay taxes. The bottom 50% don’t.

D, good to see you finally have something to say. Top of the morning to you! As far as wisdom, I can’t take complete credit for that. I had a friend who followed a CPA back in the 80’s who stated the same thing. Can’t remember the first name but his last was Jafro. They all went to jail and paid huge fines. Turns out taxes are implied and therefore part of the law. Who knew? Oh , yeah, everyone!
February 18th, 2009 at 10:25 amNow that we’ve completely destroyed this thread, let’s try this.
Hey, Ashcroft is wrong. Obama is very different from Bush. Well maybe not as far as spending, but on the terror question, yes, very different.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:28 amGeitner and Daschle’s tax problems are pretty much a non-issue as far as reasonable people are concerned. Honestly, can you even tell me what Geitner did wrong without hitting the google? They Effed up on parts of their taxes that are so out there, you need a CPA to make sense of it.
Cantor on the otherhand used a song commercially that he did not compensate the artist for or ask permission to use. Everyone understands why that is wrong.
February 18th, 2009 at 10:37 amDee, you are part of the problem. Geithner did not miss some obscure provision in the tax code. If you use turbo tax you cannot proceed if you make the mistake he did, it’s that simple, I know, I use turbo tax. Daschle’s was much worse and it is why he had to stand down. Everyone knows that a chauffered ride is a perk and, therefore, income. You obviously don’t make a lot of money and so tis stuff seems wierd. Trust me, people of means try to skirt their taxes all the time. When they are repugs, we notice. Time to stop all of that. Time to get rid of the Roland Burris’s so we can have moral relativity when we are upset with rethug behavior.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:09 amI admit to some serious WTF here: is drew3rd “fer” or “agin” progressive thinking? Every time I think I have finally understood his stance–or just the point of ONE post–I find that drew’s next post seems to be attacking whatever drew’s previous post just proclaimed.
And I experience that same puzzlement whether it’s over my morning coffee [on the Left Coast], during my at-the-desk lunch, or with my evening wine.
February 18th, 2009 at 11:35 amEric Cantor continues the long line of morons to whip the rethugs into shape. He will be defeated in 2010. Eric Cantor is a moron.

The confusion over the self-employment tax arose from an unusual system used by the IMF. Though its U.S. employees receive W-2s, they have been treated for tax purposes as though they are self-employed. (This problem has occurred frequently enough that in November 2006, the IRS made a settlement offer to all U.S. employees of embassies and international organizations in order to bring the employees into compliance with their U.S. tax obligations. )
Geithner had earlier encountered the same problem. It had come up in an IRS audit in 2006, under slightly different circumstances. Geithner worked for the IMF until the fall of 2003, and also received a small amount of income from the IMF in early 2004. An accountant prepared Geithner’s 2003 and 2004 returns and assured him in writing that he was exempt self-employment taxes on his IMF income. In 2006, the IRS informed Geithner that he owed–and had failed to pay–self-employment taxes for that period as well. He paid tax and interest totaling $17,230 (of which $14,847 was tax and $2,383 was interest) for the two-year period, and the IRS waived all penalties.
So drew are you a liar or just a fool?
