They can try, nothing says shes the responsible party. so she can sue them back for any costs if they try.
The Uniparty NEVER stops punishing its enemies...
Huckabee arranged the rally. Furthermore, he is a musician. He should know better than to play someone else’s song without permission.
If the ho-wood bigots follow through with suing Kim Davis, Huckabee should pay the damages.
Maybe that’s why Cruz never made it to the stage....It clicked as soon as he heard it...and he said whoa....
She should file suit for malicious prosecution if they sue her. She obviously had nothing to do with organizing the rally or choosing the music - she was in jail. That is obvious to even a casual observer - so the lawsuit would be a lie if she is named as a responsible party. She was only able to appear on stage at the rally as she happened to be released around the same time as the rally was scheduled. It had already been planned by the event organizers and by Huckabee.
All these people need to do is create van internet “radio station”, obtain a public performance license from ASCAP, and stream the audio thru the PA system. ASCAP insisted that internet play required the same license as an actual broadcast, so play by their rules, crank it up and all is legal. This is how Rush uses her music despite Chryssie Hinds wishes, except an internet “radio station” is vastly easier to set up than the real kind.
Well, Mike, now it is your venue and not Ted Cruz’s! Hahahahaha!
The most the artists are owed is a royalty fee for one rendition. They can’t ban people for using their music just because they disagree with that persons views. That would be like a baker refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding except that the baker has the Constitutional right to free exercise of their deeply held religious beliefs. The artists are refusing people just because they disagree with what that person stands for. Typical liberal double standards.
It was Huckabee’s event. He has made that clear all over TV today. Expenses and arrangements too.
A non-story.
Seriously?! And a jury in her hometown would do what?
Survivor should be paid royalty for their song use. That should have been settled before the rally. That was an amateur move. Who was in charge of the rally again?
Survivor should be glad that someone was willing to use their lame, corny little song. This is the first time in years that anyone has thought of their little band.
Did she make money or gain any other advantage from it? How much of the song did they use?
So they are claiming that they can discriminate against who can use their song. They aren’t even being asked to perform it publicly themselves, not like a wedding photographer who can’t turn down a gig.
So.... When the punks and fools drive down the street with their 1000 watt car stereos shaking the windows out of the other cars they pass on the road and buildings and they pass by.... Are they going to be sued by the music companies for unauthorized public playing of ‘music’?
One of the most horrid songs of all time anyhow.
Yet, these writers are simply looking for their 15 minutes.

[[“Where they broke the law was when they played that song by Survivor without the permission of the rights holder.” ]]
Hmmm, perhaps Huckabee will get to take her place in jail after all
They are want the publicity. Another 20 seconds of limelight.
LOL are these morons for real..its a SONG..you don’t have to ask permission to play a song its a free country..sorry liberal loons but its still a free country
