why this is here

I'm sick of commercials whose only gimmick is to change a few lines of a classic song. We pretend to live in a society where copyright law protects creative integrity and artists' economic rights. But the ubiquity of these commercials shows the actual effect of copyright law as it currently exists -- corporations' money decides how songs will be used, and songwriters who could cut their teeth writing jingles for commercials never get hired. Anyway, as evidence, I'm just going to post a short description of one of these commercials whenever I see one. Feel free to contribute.
