\u201cTrue story… a local jeweler is using a copyrighted song in their commercials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a very obscure song by a relatively unknown artist. Once I determine this would be subject to copyright infringement, I asked for \u2014 AND RECEIVED \u2014 a copy of the agreement for the licensing.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Needless to say, I was stunned. So while it is very rare, this paperwork can be obtained.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The second Loyal Reader sent me this spot that apparently is airing in a small market in Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Tim\u2019s example of a local jeweler\u2019s ad involved a song by \u201ca relatively unknown artist,\u201d this radio advertisement uses a very well-known song by a very well-known artist:<\/span><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/danoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/HomeBase.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n


\nI\u2019m amazed that a local burger joint was able to afford a license to use Meghan Trainor\u2019s<\/strong> song.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m also surprised Meghan licensed it to them. Perhaps she\u2019s old friends with the owners\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe she\u2019s just crazy about burgers, pizza and fish fries. (I have no idea what fish fries are, and I\u2019m not sure I want to find out.)<\/span><\/p>\n

But somehow they must\u2019ve obtained a license. I\u2019m told this commercial is airing on several radio stations in the area, and of course those stations wouldn\u2019t have agreed to broadcast a commercial that otherwise would appear to be a clear copyright violation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
