Ma!!! They're using my song. . .

. . . Tom Petty asked a Republican candidate recently to NOT use his song, "American Girl". Petty also asked another not to use his song "I Won't Back Down" in 2000. The band Heart asked that their hit "Barracuda" not be used for politicizing while John Mellencamp did the same with "Our Country". Likewise "Independence Day" from Martina McBride, "Running on Empty" by Jackson Brown, Foo Fighters' "My Hero", Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" and "More Than A Feeling" by Boston.

What is this penchant for stealing intellectual property on the part of our politicians? Are these the kind of folks that we want to run our country?
