I'm all for intellectual property rights...but something makes me think that Browne won't ask the Democrats to make a similar pledge. Once again, for the liberals, it's okay to break the law, as long as I agree with you.

If Browne wants dems to use his music in their ads that's his right as the copyright holder. There's nothing political in this story, it's all about protecting property rights.

BS. If Obama had used the song, Browne wouldn't have sued or sought a commitment from the DNC to never use artists' work in their ads without permission. He came out duing the campaign and made a stink because he didn't like it being used by Republicans. It's his right of course, but I'm talking about his motivation - he could make money, embarras the GOP nominee, and get a commitment that will protect other liberals (from the right side of the aisle).
