Audiosocket sued Ted Cruz in federal court Monday, charging that the former Republican presidential candidate and his campaign's Hollywood-based advertising firm used music that it owns for political purposes without permission.
According to GeekWire.com, the background music in the Cruz video titled "Victories" is from the recording "Lens" by Sarah Schachner. Likewise, the video "Best to Come," features music by Brad Couture called "Fear of Complacency."

He’s dead, Jim. Let it go already.
Cruz is a menace to society and should be locked up forever.
WHO’S GOT THE CRUZ PING LIST?!?
This always happens to Republicans. Fair use onl applies to Leftist
When you’re AnoinTed, what are a little thing like laws?
It sounds like his campaign did everything right and hired a Hollywood-based advertising firm to handle it- they used music.
Lawsuit out of Seattle, it figures.
Billy Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit he’d come along
He ain’t fully dead until Cleveland. We can’t trust him.
It’s over, move on...
Probably the only victory this poster has ever achieved.
Sounds like Madison McQueen is the culprit and Cruz is just on the bill for publicity.
But IAMNAL.
Hannity talked today about how he’s been sued for playing very short segments of songs on his show.
It came up when a long-time caller called in, and for the first time, Hannity didn’t play the caller’s theme song (”More Than a Woman,” IIRC).
Here’s the case, it names both Madison McQueen (producers of the videos who acted on behalf of the Cruz campaign) and the Cruz campaign.
Beating a dead horse is weak, especially when we have a geriatric Socialist and a Commie dyke in the running.
I read it as libs attacking republicans. Or perhaps they sue everyone these days.
“They got the wrong license, they put it on TV, they realized they shouldn’t have put it on TV, they called asking for permission, we said no, they didn’t come clean at that time and they kept broadcasting,” Audiosocket’s chief executive Brent McCrossen told GeekWire.com.”
“That’s why we took the approach we did, because the facts of the matter were so astonishing,” McCrossen said, referring to Audiosocket’s filing of a suit in a U.S. District Court in Seattle.”
“The lawsuit is seeking $2 million, according to The Seattle Times, charging $25,000 for each claimed breach of contract, plus damages. The Times reported that one of the ads aired on the Fox Business Channel 86 times. The “Best to Come” ad has been viewed on YouTube 12,000 times.”
Now he can’t bash Trump for Trump University.
