Bush Asked to Stop Using 'Still the One' (AP)

This isn't really a "copywrong", but it's posted here to show the lack of respect the people (mostly Republicans, but it crosses party lines) who are pushing for Draconian new copyright law have for the existing copyright regime... I wonder if a radio station could be held liable for playing the tune, heard by Bush staffer and subsequently used in the campaign, for "inducing" the copyright violation? I wonder what Sen. Hatch thinks of this?

AP - The songwriter who helped pen the 1970s hit, "Still the One," is demanding that President Bush stop using the tune at campaign events, arguing that he's no fan of the Republican incumbent and the campaign never got permission to use the song.
