Tom Petty supposedly set to issue a C&D to Bachman

[lab~rat >:-)]

Here we go again, Tom Petty is supposedly issuing a cease and desist
order to Michele Bachman for using "American Girl" at her rallies. We
went through that with Heart back in 2008.

I don't know if we ever got to the bottom of it, but can the artists
themselves actually dictate how their music is used? I'm sure it's a
case by case basis, but in the case of TP and Heart, I'm thinking
those songs are owned by the label or the corporation that owns the
label. I can see how an artist could protest the use, but do they
actually have legal ground to do so?

For the record, all the articles I've found relating to this have been
essentially blogs or gossip columns, although I know Petty supported
Gore back in 00 and it wouldn't surprise me. I've always liked TP
despite his wrong politics. ;)

He was great at SB XLII. icing on the cake that day! I'd think in this
instance that he'd have to have some legal ownership of his song to be
able to legally prohibit Bachman from using the song otherwise it
would be nothing more than a public non-endorsement which for me would
be enough not to use it. Politicians are seedy characters at best, I
know I wouldn't lend my music to any of them.

Of course I always associate "American Girl" with "The Silence of The
Lambs". Good ol' Cathrine Martin getting ready to become Jame Gumb's

If the Bachman campaign paid the ASCAP fees for rights of usage,
wouldn't that take care of any obligation? Seriously, I don't see her
using that song as an endorsement from Petty. If he got up on stage
and performed it with her, well yeah, but playing the opening clip
from it? Not so sure.

IMO, it's Petty lashing out because he doesn't want to be associated
with her. I'm not blaming him, and I'd probably have done the same
thing if Obama used one of my songs on the campaign trail. Of course,
I would have done it totally for publicity and not for any other
reason... ;)

Confirmed:

<http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/tom-petty-tells-michele-bachmann-to-stop-playing-american-girl-20110628>

Petty, like Springsteen and
the Wilson sisters, owns his
material and can legally
control its use afaik. The
days of established acts'
original material being
controlled by record labels
or their corporate parents
are pretty much over --
those rights are far too
lucrative (e.g. royalties
from cover versions and
supermarket Muzak) to
negotiate away for a mere
record deal in most such
cases.

I cant blame them for being pissed. They wrote the songs and should have
a right to say who can use it and who cant.
It doesn't matter what part they're in, people are suppose to have
permission to use someone's personal property and songs fit that

Publishing doesn't mean you lose mechanical copyright, or sync rights.
Petty could absolutely stop Bachmann from using the song in a campaign ad,
he just can't stop her from playing it at her events if she or the venue has
an ASCAP license.

True but if you're Tom Petty, someone people know a hell of a lot more
than they do her, you're gonna create a huge stink where millions of
people jump on your bandwagon!

A nightclub doesn't need to get Tom Petty's permission if they want to play
one of his songs on their PA or if a band wants to perform the song because
they've bought a performance license from ASCAP and probably BMI as well.
The same thing applies to Bachmann's campaign, if they or the venues for
their rallies have ASCAP licenses then they are covered. It's different if
they want to use the song in a campaign ad, then Petty (or whoever controls
those rights) could say no, but he can't keep them from playing the song on
a sound system if they have an ASCAP license. Some performers have been
able to get politicians to stop using their music by making a public stink,
but clearly Michele Bachmann is someone not easily embarrassed.

She may not be easily embarassed but I am sure that When the two of them
start shouting at the masses most people are going to hear only one
voice, his! She wouldn't be dumb enough to piss off 20,000,000
fans/potential voters

Tom Petty just doesn't want to piss his fans off that are Dems,
independents, or non political. He understands he could loose money
from certain fans that are dumb enough to align him or his music to
any political party. His only real concern is loosing money. Nothing
more, nothing less.

that is "losing" and he must be like everyone else that depends on his
name recognition and popularity for his wealth..
I don't listen to Petty or anyone else for that matter because of their
political beliefs.
I dont go to concerts to hear idiots like Ted Nugent belittle other
people because of their political beliefs.
I saw Tom Petty 3-4 years ago in Columbus and not once did he belittle
anyone that didnt share his views, which is the way it SHOULD BE.
I dont listen to music for peoples opinions on politics, religeous, sex

Joan Baez used to pull that crap. I never liked the skank, but my
buddy loved her and came home all pissed off cuz, after driving 30
miles to see her in concert, she wouldn't shut the Hell up and jes
sing her songs. He walked out 1/3rd way through the non-concert.

Ooh-eee, was he pissed! ;)

Ted Nugent opened for Kiss in 2000 when I went to see them.I thought he
was cool before then, liked a lot of his old stuff, but he was a total
dick bashing, flaming the president, his cabinet and whoever. I dont pay
good money for concert tickets to go and listen to someone bash and
belittle people for whatever reasons, especially political!

Hands down, worst concert I've ever seen -- Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.
Dylan did not say ONE WORD... no hello, no goodbye... not a single
word to the audience. Baez never shut up. Unfortunately I had made
the trip with someone else so leaving wasn't an option.

Remember when Madonna did that film bit in the middle of
her 'concerts' do promote some political or charity thing? I'm
no fan, but when she came to Boston, 10% of the crowd
walked out of the show during those videos. It was all
in the local papers. I wasn't there. Yet if one pays damn
danger $$ to see some 'star' they shouldn't be forced to
sit thru that crap. Fans pay to see the show and hear
the music. Not some rant about personal star's issues.

While I am not a U2 fan, & their music bores me to death, they
DO pay well to have their gear fixed. The Edge pay ed me far
more then I was about to ask for to fix that ripped cloth AC30
in NJ, and he pulled it out of his own pocket. In fact, he asked
a roadie for more then he had in pocket before he handed it
to me. Bono was there and cried: "not earning ya keep?"
to Edge, and we all laughed. No politics involved at all.

So here goes the cross of music and ideology. Certain performers you
KNOW are gonna be political. Now if you like two or three songs off a
given album and wander in not knowing their bullshit, then you can be
pissed. Write them a letter and ask for your money back.

If you're a die hard fan, you probably dig their ideology and think
that crap is great.

Well if you skirted your taxes as much as those guys, you'd be able to

I have no interest in what Ted Nugent says or believes. The only person
he speaks for is his ownself! Ted Nugent is a legend in his own mind!

Now we no longer know what sort of license inspired the C&D. For
plain old mechanical licenses, you send your money to Harry Fox,
and nobody can say nothing. SFAIK, Bachmann used the original
recording, so I am not sure what llicense applies - somebody
said "ASCAP?" and my guess is that ASCAP covers it.

That article is a bleeding mess. They don't know mechanicals
from ASCAP from sync.

I smell a business model - high-quality covers, covered
under mechanical license, just for this purpose.

Harry Fox acts as an agent for whoever has the rights. In most cases the
approval is automatic once the fee is paid but nothing prevents a given
artist, label, etc. from putting conditions on approval.

The same applies to ASCAP. They're simply intermediaries in the process.

In this case it would be ASCAP (or BMI, as the case may be), as a
performance license would be required, not a mechanical license (which would
be covered by Harry Fox).

Approval is assumed; the C&D gives notice that the artist wishes the
song not be used. I don't know what happens of the recipient of the C&D
simply blows 'em off. I suspect nothing happens unless the
artists escalates legally.

but for political campaigns, they'll stop using it immediately.

People were bring up cases which involved mechanicals, not performance.

Something to consider, that song was released in '77. Unless Petty
negotiated rights to his back catalog and it was successful, it would
have fallen into a time when labels DID control content.

somewhere, in the dim and distant past, I heard that he, along with
some other very wealthy songwriter-rockers, did do that.

well... hmmm... my rock history lessons has taught me that
Bruce Springsteen successfully had a cease and desist order
carried out on the GOP for using his "Born in the USA" song
at political rallies. He won and the GOP played it no more.
But Springsteen is a card carrying ASCAP member (heh) and he
owns all of his songs - publishing rights, etc and etc.
Come to think of it - without ever playing another gig or
recording anything else - I am sure he could easily live off
the residuals from his song portfolio.

ANyways - sure thing - if the artist owns the rights then
he or she can decide whatever about the song.
The small print though is this: as an artist you can own the
rights to the song - but a label can own the specific publishing right for
a specific recorded version of the song.
So technically you could play and record a song and put it on a CD or album
and the label could own that recorded version of the song. However, you
retain the copyright to the song - you can play it anytime or anywhere but
you lose control of that particular recorded version of the song.

So as an artist you want to try to maintain complete rights to the song
included all 'unique' recorded versions. In a sense you are then using
the label as a contractor to distribute the product and promote it since
the label gets no real big 'backend' profit from it they can be hesitant
about getting into such a situation.

In a lot of cases, big stars (for example in Nashville stables) like
Kenny Chesney own NONE of their songs or publishing rights.
He makes his living through constant tours and a few points on recorded unit sales.
Not a bad way to go though... not bad at all if you hit it big.
But of course he won't even get residuals if he gets songs in heavy rotation
on airwaves.

As I understand it, royalties *are* the main income for the top guns.
Putting on tours is hugely expensive and not the same as you or I doing
a pub gig. Tours promote sales which in turn generate the royalties.

For the recording? Yup. For the song itself? No. I am not
sure if a sync license is required for that application. I
doubt it.

Doesn't matter - I've gotten a few C&D's ( not over music,
just as boilerplate for NDA-coverage when I left a job ).
Worth pretty much the paper they are printed on unless they
are the first step in a longer chain.

Ultimately the way I read this is that it's a public request to knock
it off that will probably work. I doubt the Bachman campaign would
like to go into the game with a fight with Tom Petty over 90 seconds
of a 45 year old song.

At the same time, if she told him to bring it, the campaign would be
long over by the time a resolution was met, and it's quite possible he
would walk away with nothing but legal bills.

Does this seem right?

Julia M. Griffith = ?

Cheri Griffith = Cheryl J. Griffith-Rivera, William Malone Griffith,

Questions yet to be answered:
Who are Julia M. Griffith and Justin Griffith?

Angela C. Griffith-Warshefski came all the way from Pompano Beach,
Florida to witness and sign MeatPlow's apology letter?

Or did William Malone Griffith, Jr. forge the witness signatures,
which would indicate some level of insincerity in the apology?

If William Malone Griffith, Jr. did indeed forge the witness
signatures, is his family cognizant of him using them in this way?

I had no idea what he thought politically until just now, and I have
thought he was a dope smoking POS for decades.

I think all pot somkers are losers. It has nothing to do with
politics.

[dugjustdug]

I thought the licensing only kicks in if there is a commercial
application. A politician doesn't have a profit motivation.

Right?

Petty is fine. He does pretty good shuffling around four or five
chords and has some good hooks. He might be a douchebag but he's from
Gainesville, kinda a home town hero when I was living there.

I've been revisiting TP. As you say, he has great hooks. So good, you
lose sight of the complexity of much of his music. It's very layered,
much like ol' Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. But, it comes off like
simple R&R cuz of them hooks. I don't know much about the man. Why
is he a douchebag?

That shows how little you know about me, and especially how little you
know about her. Turn off Fox and maybe you'll understand more about
why all but the dumbest of people in this country, regardless of

Can you point out where I've belittled "any woman" besides Palin and
Bachmann? Or are those the only women you care about?

I liked her before a week or so ago when she opened her mouth and made a
fool of herself. Saying her and her husband didnt accept Medicaid
payments and that we should do away with it at the same time her husband
is accepting medicaid payments
She is just another lying republican trying to bs her way into the White
House

I like how she confused John Wayne with John Wayne Gacy.

But seriously, I don't know how you could have ever liked her. She
almost...*almost*...makes Palin tolerable. That's how bad she is.
Another religious kook who has done NOTHING in office (seriously, look
up her history). Cries about the government while having once worked
collecting taxes for the government, not to mention those farm
subsidies. And I love the "no minimum wage will cure unemployment"
thing.

Hey Deep Dish - since you're such a fan of Bachmann, maybe you can
explain her policies for us and how they'll solve problems? Why not
show all of those "typical liberals" your political acumen for once in
your life? But no points for you if all you can come up with is your
usual "Obama messiah liberals LOL!" tripe.

More powerful? Perhaps. More educated? Nope. Besides, I wouldn't
consider Oral Roberts U. as having one of the nation's top law schools.

If she were a Dem, she wouldn't hold most of the views that she does.
Besides, Reps don't have a monopoly on nutters, although these days they
definitely have an edge in that department :-)

It's just common sense and common business. Again, it's how it works.

Oh bullshit. It's only your own unsupported opinion, and nothing
more.

> Again, it's how it works.

I've been a successful working musician for a bit over 50 years now,
and "how it works" is that every musician is different and has
different motivations for their actions. Had you read -and
understood- the posts in this very thread that would have become
evident to you.

Assuming that everyone else in the business will do the same things
you would do under the same circumstances is simply *amazing*
arrogance.

It's called the music business. Not music for free. It's how it works.
And if you have been a successful working musician for a bit over 50
years now, then you must have gotten paid well to be successful as you
claim. It's how it works. If you're telling the truth, then you're
living proof I'm right.

It's called the music business. Not music for free. It's how it works.
And if you have been a successful working musician for a bit over 50
years now, then you must have gotten paid well to be successful as you
claim. It's how it works. If you're telling the truth, then you're living
proof I'm right.

Maybe you'd like to use your "common sense" about "common business

Professor?

Ah yes, the classic "Pure Profit" business plan by RMAK's resident
troll--AKKK. My favorite part of that thread was when someone asked him
about overhead and he SKIRTED around that and continued to babble on about
his "Pure Profit" plan.

I also actually work while...working. Weird, huh? But I enjoy what I
do so much, it rarely ever feels like work. There are stressful
moments, but overall it's just fun. And I've had mostly great bosses
and co-workers. I can only guess that Triple Stack's surly personality
has gotten him into trouble at other jobs, hence his obsession with
not working for anyone else.

> Psst, no one is jealous of "your" piss ant

True enough. By his own admission, what he does isn't hard. And it
isn't. I was doing what he does as a teenager. His only claim is being
the owner of his store, but like you said, those people are a dime a
dozen. Cool if you can do it, but it doesn't make you special.

> LOVE how you're constantly trying to compete with Jefe and I. Shows just how

For someone who has no time for trolls, he certainly is willing to
drop the pants and see who has the biggest dick at a moment's notice,
isn't he?

What a concept--working WHILE at work. I have a great job too. I've got a
lot of freedom to do whatever I want, as long as I do the work required of
me. No boss constantly over my shoulder or anything like that. And I'm with
you on having great co-workers. I still have friends from jobs I had a
decade ago.

I think Killer is also too stupid to work any other job than sitting behind
a register. There's nothing wrong with working in retail--I just find it
funny that he boasts about being rich and powerful, but in REALITY he's just
a fat monkey behind a cash register.

> True enough. By his own admission, what he does isn't hard. And it

I mock him about the simplicity of his job because a) it's nothing special
and b) he's not very good at this simple job. Again, it goes back to him
insisting he's smart, yet he can't execute simple retail math.

> For someone who has no time for trolls, he certainly is willing to

He needs to do that to prop himself up. He needs to have this fantasy that
he's somehow better than you and I. Notice he gets uncomfortable when I, or
anyone, confront him about reality. That tells you all you need to know
about his low self esteem.

> Well, that's not entirely correct. We know that Grape Ape can't see

It's not a bad thing. However, when you are competing to "one up" people

No, being that way is what makes people laugh at you, Pop n Fresh. Think

Of course you're going to say you vactioned at a "private resort" because
you have to make yourself out to be something you're not. It's like when you
claimed to have Gene's cell phone number. You're trying too hard to impress
those you look up to, fatso.

No, being competitive isn't a bad thing...within reason. But why would
you want to compete with people you claim mean nothing to you and that
you don't even know other than by a screen name? That's a sign of deep

LOL! There's a hell of a lot more to it than just that. And like I've
said before, this isn't all I do to earn an income. Again, I own and
rent homes and property. I'm a freelance photographer. I have
contracts with many of the different surrounding schools that pay very
well to shoot all their students for yearbook annuals, events, and
each kid on a sports team. I'm so booked to photograph many weddings
this summer that I've actually had to start turning people down for
their weddings and other events. Plus I own my own warehouse that
I've turned into a photo studio to shoot scheduled appointments with
clients that want more glamorous or intimate settings with quality
backdrops or props. And no I don't shoot any pornography. I could on
about the many other things I do, but that's enough for now.

No there isn't. You own a small, piss ant record store (or so you
claim)--you're not doing anything remarkable or something remarkable.
Besides, you're not smart enough to do anything but sit your fat ass behind
a register. In fact, a good small record store owner, who's there open to
close, wouldn't need "help". He/she could do it all by themselves, with no
problem. You clearly have a lot of free time on your hands, surely you can
take 5-10 minutes out of your trolling to help someone buy the new Lady Gaga
CD or do inventory. It's not like you have anything else to do.

contracts with many of the different surrounding schools that pay very
well to shoot all their students for yearbook annuals, events, and
each kid on a sports team. I'm so booked to photograph many weddings
this summer that I've actually had to start turning people down for
their weddings and other events. Plus I own my own warehouse that
I've turned into a photo studio to shoot scheduled appointments with
clients that want more glamorous or intimate settings with quality
backdrops or props. And no I don't shoot any pornography. I could on
about the many other things I do, but that's enough for now.

There you go trying to compete with your online "enemies" again. The reality
is you have a camera, have taken a photography class or two, and you call
yourself a "freelance photographer". That's like the waitress in LA who's in
community theater calling herself an "aspiring actor". LOL! I love how
you're constantly trying to make yourself out to be more than you really
are.

I understand that you take it out of context, twist it, and take it
literally. I understand my phrase "pure profit" was taken literally.
Even though I really didn't mean I was actually making 100% pure
profit, but just using the phrase in a humorous or sarcastic way years
ago.

Not true, but I really don't expect you to understand how a business
is ran since you have no experience of doing it yourself. Your post
above shows you are content, or have settled for less and aren't able
or even motivated to better yourself. Plus you fail to see or realize

to put other people down and have done nothing to show for their own
lives, In real life, I'm not a snob at all, but if anyone thinks they
can belittle what I've worked for, I'll shove my success down your

own it. I work 60 - 80 hours a week. Not because I have to, because I

those hours I'm sleeping.

Ah yes, the tired "misinterpret and twist" card you constantly play. I
understood your attempts to boost your low self esteem completely. I guess
you're getting confused by your own words--again. Damn, you are DUMB, and

No you haven't. All you've done is make silly claims (lies) in here. If
anything, you've proven yourself to be a liar and insanely jealous of Jefe
and me.

Sure I can, but I'm not going to give a creepy online stalker any personal
info, and that greatly bothers you. You can't "crack the FVH code" and that
EATS at you. LOL!!!

Already did. You're just a fat lonely Latino that logs onto the
Internet and types on his keyboard. Nothing more. I piss you off so
much, you tried to get my site shutdown, you deleted all your FB,
Myspace, Youtube, and other sites down as soon as I posted the links
to them here. You reported me to photobucket and made them remove the
pic I have of you that I copied from your own Twitter page. LOL!

Your own Pure Profit explanation betrays the lie you're trying to pass

News flash: one can learn a lot by observing.

Yes indeed, I am content. I'm sorry you're not...but I guess it'd be
hard to when, despite trying to pass yourself off as some great
entrepreneur, you look in the mirror every day and realize that you
just jockey a register.

What you do isn't difficult, Deep Dish. Get over yourself. And don't
forget to thank the government for all of its help.

And to me, you're just a fat, dumb redneck who overcompensates for
having grown up poor and friendless. And in more ways than one, you
still *are* poor.

Funny how Killer seems to be the only person that understands the shit he
spews in here. Ever notice that he's always telling others "you don't get

It's him always feeling the need to compete with his online "enemies". He
HAS to paint a pciture that he's somehow "above" his "enemies" to make his
life, in his fat eyes, seem meaningful. It's all about him propping himself
up in a failed attempt to make himself seem "better" than his "enemies".

Yep, this NG is a war in his fat eyes. He's constantly babbling about
"winning the battle", "getting revenge", and trying to "unite his troops"
all in a failed attempt to "get" you and me. It's SO funny watching him try
SO hard to be the big man in the room (and I'm not talking about his gut),
yet constantly coming out as the whiny, ultra sensitive bitch he truly is.
