After forcing YouTube to pull a Mitt Romney campaign ad featuring a snippet of President Obama singing Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” a major music publisher is yanking clips of the president’s crooning. Politico says, “Romney’s ad disappeared Monday, and the Obama clips — shot at a January fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in Harlem — began coming down Tuesday. BMG Rights Management, one of the world’s largest music publishing companies, filed a request with YouTube to pull the ad down under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. A Romney spokesman told the Huffington Post their
use of “Let’s Stay Together” qualified as
fair use, and said the campaign would work to
get the ad back up.” More from Politico.com.
