Maybe Twice in a Lifetime

I've blogged about this sort of thing before, but it looks like another politician is getting sued for using a song in a commercial without permission (I mean, do the people who are running to be legislators really have such a tenuous grasp of copyright law?). This time, it seems that Charlie Crist is being sued by David Byrne for using the Talking Heads song "Road to Nowhere" in a commercial. According to the Billboard article, none of the other members of Talking Heads are parties to the lawsuit; this seems strange because they're listed, at least on wikipedia, as being co-composers of the song with Byrne. But we'll see how this suit goes, especially since the other gossip about Crist is that the Democrats may try to push their candidate out of the Florida senate race so that Crist, a former Republican, would have a better shot at winning the general election against the ultra-conservative Marc Rubio.
