The Rush Limbaugh Show
1270 Avenue of the Americas

Ladies & Gentlemen:
I am the attorney for Rush, their management company, S.R.O. Management
Inc., their music publishing company, Core Music Publishing and their record
company, The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc.
According to media reports, Rush Limbaugh, Premiere Radio Networks and
The Rush Limbaugh Show have been using Rush's recorded music as part of what
is essentially a political broadcast.
The use of Rush's music in this way is an infringement of Rush's
copyrights and trademarks. The public performance of Rush's music is not
licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public
performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement. There are civil
and criminal remedies for copyright infringement, including statutory
damages and fines.
(see sections 501-513 of Title 17 of the United States Code
http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html)
In addition, the use of Rush's music in this manner implies an
endorsement of the views expressed and products advertised on the show, and
is in breach of not only copyright and trademark rights, but also, of
section 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law (excerpt attached).
Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of
Rush's music and confirm that you will do so.
Yours very truly,
Robert A. Farmer
Director of Legal Affairs
S.R.O. Management Inc.,
Core Music Publishing
The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc.

Wait isn't he the one who's always saying that the world doesn't owe anyone
a living? He wasn't born entitled to be on Armed Forces Radio, Sam, and the
people who signed this petition aren't the government and don't have any
special power to make it happen. The only real connection to the White House
is that somebody may read them. It looks like they answered one or two.
