This Land Is Your Land

From the files of the EFF:
A hilarious lampooning of both President Bush and Senator Kerry.

It made it to the EFF because a music publisher claimed to have the rights to the song “This Land Is Your Land” and tried to block JibJab Studios from publishing the animation which features the song in a way that is clearly covered by “fair use”. Unfortunately for Ludlow the EFF and others proved that Arlo Guthrie’s first published the music in 1945 (when copyrights were a more reasonable 28 years) and never applied to renew the copyright. Ludlow renewed the copyright in 1984, 11 years after it had already entered the public domain.
