Devore Loses to Don Henley in U.S. District Court
THR, Esq.: ” A federal judge has tentatively ruled that California senatorial candidate Chuck DeVore violated rocker Don Henley’s copyrights on two songs when he used them as the basis for campaign commercials posted on YouTube.”
No word on whether an appeal is in the works. More than one politician has been sued on similar grounds.
Could PolitiZoid be next or is their use distinguishable because it’s not for advertising purposes? Stay tuned…
