R.E.M. orders Fox News to stop playing ‘Losing My Religion’ during DNC
The American rock band R.E.M. on Thursday demanded that Fox News “cease and desist” using their song “Losing My Religion” during its coverage of the Democratic National Convention.

“R.E.M.’s ‘Losing My Religion’ was used in the Fox News coverage of the Democratic National Convention last night,” a statement on the R.E.M. HQ website said. “R.E.M. today, through its music publisher, Warner-Tamerlane Music, demanded that Fox News cease and desist from continuing its unlicensed and unauthorized use of the song.”

Fox news is a corporate propaganda channel and general right wing meme distribution outfit.

FOX is big on subliminal messaging. R.E.M. wasn't having it.

Aaaaw, this is kinda sweet, specially on the current affairs around copyright/licensing.

Thanks FOX, but I doubt that Sweden will pay your masters $60 million.
