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.

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.

Politician

Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin', leanin' to the right
I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right
But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight.
