"The composer of the Survivor hit Eye of the Tiger has sued Newt Gingrich to stop the Republican presidential candidate from using the Rocky III anthem at campaign events. The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Chicago by Rude Music Inc., the Palatine-based music publishing company owned by Frank Sullivan, who, with Jim Peterik, composed the song and copyrighted it in 1982. The lawsuit states that as early as 2009, Gingrich has entered rallies and public events to the pulsing guitar riffs of the song. In a lengthy section of the five-page complaint, Rude's attorneys point out that Gingrich is well aware of copyright laws, noting he is listed as author or co-author of more than 40 published works and has earned between $500,000 to $1 million from Gingrich Productions, a company that sells his written work, documentaries and audio books. It also notes Gingrich's criticism of the 'Stop Online Piracy Act' during a recent debate in South Carolina, where Gingrich suggested the law was unnecessary because 'We have a patent office, we have copyright law. If a company finds it has genuinely been infringed upon, it has the right to sue.' The suit asks for an injunction to prevent Gingrich from using the song, as well as damages and attorneys' fees to be determined by the court."
So, you are laughing at someone who was against SOPA, I find that ironic.
Laughing more towards the general trend of these over the past few years. SOPA doesn't have much to do with this, aside from the property owner here going about this the current and correct way.
And Newt saying SOPA was unnecessary...
SOPA won't build moon bases!
Moon bases are UBER cool. Plus think of the destruction we could rain down on our enemies with a moon base. And it's the best protection against zombies..... zombies here on earth, move to the moon!!!!
What about a moon prison? It could be the new Australia.
Might be the only place Gingrich can get elected.
Yeah, good luck dodging moon rocks down the line!Quote:

Trolling? Ignorance? Really? Because I have the temerity to disagree with you?Quote:

Tactics like this show that the blood thrower, glitter bomber, and egg tosser have lost the verbal argument and need to show a physical response, but have enough brains to not lay a hand on the target of their hate. It's immature and only makes the immature giggle.
I'm sure there is a joke in this about trying to have a debate with a conservative politician thats coasting on media attention...Quote:

Yeah, there is no other type of protest...like pointing out his stupidity WITH WORDS.Quote:

Twitter feeds move faster than cable news media, though. According to your logic about bias, all social media would be suspended until every caucus was closed. Even though states like Nevada have flexible caucus hours. That doesn't sound plausible.
The social media doesn't conduct detailed exit polls that correlate nearly perfectly with final results.
Well, neither do the professional pollsters. They gave Romney a "win" in Iowa by a slim margin. Even though they were wrong, Santorum didn't get to benefit from the mojo. What's your point again, Loki?
Um, the win was announced by the GOP of Iowa; they then backtracked. :bored: Seeing that you're responding to a strawman with something that has no relevance to my post, why exactly are you posting this?
Because you're trying to lay blame on the media....instead of the GOP.
I don't buy that. Rick "please don't google me" Santorum is one gigantic walking fart joke. Or anal sex joke, whichever way you want to look at the particulars. Now, come election time Rick "please don't google me" Santorum has to project an image of a statesman, if for nothing else than for future glory and a possible veep vetting (the fundies really don't like Mittens). When Rick "please don't google my name" Santorum gets hit in the face with glitter, instead of say an all-american apple pie, people who haven't googled his name might wonder why glitter? And once they go through that looking glass, they're liable to find not only all the gas-the-faggots-stuff, but also bringing home the dead baby that really wasn't aborted, for reals yo, the fact that Rick "please don't google me" Santorum is one gigantic walking anal sex joke, the works. I assume you were similarly aghast when "libruls" speculated on the gayness of Michele's husband?Quote:

I think OG is onto something with the Arab Spring comparison - just not in the way he thinks.
OG thinks his side has to be right, so anything goes - including assault. The dictators supporters thought their side was right so anything goes.
Opposition leaders like Santorum think their views are right so peacefully speak and try and get support, despite being attacked for it. Ditto in Egypt etc.
Of course it's a stretch but closer to reality than the garbage that Arab Spring = assaulting people is OK.
peacefully speaking would be an opinion when the message involves hatred and oppression
EDIT:
As far as I've seen, none of the glitter protestors have been charged with assault, or battery. If fact the ones that started this tangent weren't even arrested :noob:
What's the hate speech legislation like in the UK? I'm fairly certain Santorum would be in far more legal hot water here than, say, Halla-Aho, who's a very controversial figure.Quote:

arresting and charging people with crimes are two totally different acts, and no, police do not need the permission of the victim to do either (but especially with arrests).Quote:

Can't wait until they go after Obama for being against gay marriage. :rolleyes:
