There was a similar flap years ago between Chrissie Hinds (of the Pretenders) and Rush Limbaugh, who was using her song "Back to Ohio" as his opening and bump music. Thing is, Limbaugh paid the ASCAP and other associated licensing fees, so Hinds was basically told to bugger off (numerous times, and publicly on his show). I think she tried to sue, but discovered that she really couldn't do a damned thing about it.
It was Chrissie Hynde's song with The Pretenders "My City Was Gone" that Limbaugh had been using without licensing or permission for several years. She demanded he stop, he did. She relented when he agreed to give PETA $100,000. Amazing: you managed to create four factual errors and three spelling errors in one post. You're ready to run in a republican primary.
