• It’s worth noting that the Convention would not have needed permission from the Wilson sisters, but a license from ASCAP. Unless we know they didn’t have that either, calling it “stealing” is premature. It’s one of the wonders of copyright: just because Ann Wilson doesn’t like it, it doesn’t make it wrong.

• I wonder if a public performance license by venues covers the playing of the music these artists are bitching about. Can you imagine a rock group that was pro-choice not wanting their songs to be played in a planned parenthood office?  I found this FAQ on Music Licensing- it may answer some questions.
