How the hell do you "accidentally" use copyrighted music? It's pretty clear what's in copyright and what isn't. Sony Bono--a Republican congressman, and for that matter, a well-known musician--literally wrote the current law. For Republicans to claim to not understand what is and isn't in copyright is blatant bullshit.
The sad fact is, they have enough power to run roughshod over the laws when it amuses them and they know it.
The other fact is that, with the exception of a few country and western singers who make their money off phony flag-waving, no musician wants a damn thing to do with the Republican party. Even aside from having different politics, no one wants their music to be associated with the failed policies of a failed administration.
And as the Iraq war has borne out, the Republican party is made of fail.
