Copyright Infringement of the Day: Former Governor of Florida Charlie Crist posted a video yesterday apologizing to David Bryne for using the Talking Heads song “Road to Nowhere” in a campaign ad without his permission.

“Mr. Byrne has never permitted his songs to be used for advertising of any kind, a position I respect deeply,” Crist says in the video, conveniently leaving out the part where Byrne had to sue him to get an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

“I am one of the few artists who has the bucks and cojones to challenge such usage,” Bryne said in a statement announcing the lawsuit favorable resolution.

Watch and hear YACHT’s new tune Dystopia (The Earth Is on Fire), a song that will probably be on their new album we’re all waiting for.

This Is Important, You Should Watch It of the Day: Last month, Tea Party members gathered outside an ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America)-sponsored charity event held to raise money for women’s shelters and hunger relief, and hurled racist epithets and bewildering ethnocentric remarks at the American-Muslim families entering the Yorba Linda Community Center. Several members of congress even showed up to express their support for the protesters and their message.

CAIR-California caught the whole nasty mess on tape, and uploaded the footage to YouTube.

Salon’s Glenn Greenwald comments:

I think what was most striking about that video is that the presence of small children didn’t give these anti-Muslim protesters even momentary pause; they just continued screeching their ugly invective while staring at 4-year-olds walking with their parents.  People like that are so overflowing with hatred and resentments that the place where their humanity — their soul — is supposed to be has been drowned.
