Rush vs. Rush Limbaugh: Band Demands Radio Host Stop Using Music on Show
« on: March 08, 2012, 02:09:19 PM »
As if the increasing number of advertisers pulling out from his show isn't enough trouble, Limbaugh also has been served with a cease-and-desist letter from Rush, the Canadian trio with 24 gold albums whose classic rock staples include "Tom Sawyer" and "The Spirit of Radio." The band demands that Limbaugh stop using their recorded music during his radio show and are threatening the conservative commentator with a lawsuit for copyright and trademark infringement.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

This will be interesting to see how it ends up.  Radio stations pay fees to the large music distribution agencies like ASCAP, BMI and Soundscape that allows them to play whatever they want and send the royalty payments afterwards.  This can force the artist to accept payment for a "compulsory license."  I think its safer for Rush to simply stop using the music.
