Rock band claims Paul violated music copyright
(AP)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Canadian rock band Rush has sent a letter to Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, saying his campaign is violating copyright laws by playing their music without permission.

The Courier-Journal of Louisville reported that Rush's attorney, Robert Farmer of Toronto, had sent the letter to the Paul campaign. Farmer told the newspaper his objection is not political.

The Paul campaign had used one song by Rush, which was founded in the late 1960s, at a rally in Kentucky and another song as background in a fundraising video.

Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton said Wednesday that he had received the letter. He called it a non-issue.

Such flaps between politicians and professional musicians are not uncommon.

I assume Rand used "Fly By Night" lol.

Not political my ass.

Too late, he won, go suck on it.

I wonder why they didn't use 'Politician' by CREAM??

Cause that song is really about drug dealers.

Huh? How are these words about a drug dealer?

Sounds like a song about a guy who picks up girls by saying whatever they want to hear. Like a politician.
