ENOUGH with the hand-wringing crowd protecting their "copyright" when someone of the opposite party uses their composition in connection with a campaign. Do the Democrats have a license agreement for THEIR campaign songs? If not, then would we be justified in assuming they are in the public domain and can be resold as ringtones without royalty? As soon as we find a Republican who has written something worthy (gonna be a long time in the catalog for that one) I'm sure the opposite case will be true.

There is no automatic license. This isn't frivolous at all.
For copyright the onus is on the holder to protect their ip.
