Hush Rush

Does copyright also apply to reading an article out loud?

That's a very good technical question. Rush isn't the only one that reads other 'works' out loud on his show. Talk shows do the same.

David Letterman, or any other talk show host that cuts out 'funny ads' from newspapers and shows them on TV should also be an issue.

BUT....they'll never pursue that because... it's not really about protecting anyone's rights.

It's about silencing the enemy (us).
