Speeches draw upon other speeches for inspiration? Stop the presses!

Rules only apply to Hillary Clinton! Donald Trump and his family deserve to be above the law!

Above the law? Do you think political rhetoric is copyrighted? What "law" is broken exactly?

I didn't want to reuse the word 'rule.'  The obvious rule here being the expectation of attributing who you're quoting.

The Rapist Trump campaign also used Queen's "We are the Champions" yesterday even though the surviving members have told them to stop and may even have asked for a cease and desist order.

Clearly these speakers are lying when they say that Rapist Trump 'plays by the rules.'

Keep digging. This is a f*** up.

No, it's f***ing laughable is what it is. I bet you just about every speech tonight has elements from somewhere else. And next week, at the sh**t show known as the Democrat National Convention, the same thing will happen.

It's politics. sh**t gets recycled all the time.

This "plagiarism" meme is tripe and tired already.

The leaps and bounds some will go to apologize for the blatantly obvious. Wow.

I guess plagiarism isn't so bad.

Ask Joe Biden and Barack Obama about their plagiarism. But of course, as always, it's not a big deal to your insufferable, obnoxious red avatars if it happens to a Democrat.

Joe Biden quit his 1988 Presidential campaign less than a week after this story broke.

Apparently Buckley, who wrote the article, also co-wrote the speech.

But context.  I mean not 24 hrs after your mail order bride step mom plagiarized.  The optics.

If Rapist Trump can't even manage a convention, how can he manage the Presidency?

The RNC legally licensed use of "We Are the Champions" at the convention.  Queen has no legal right to object.

In the comments section a couple people say that the Rapist Trump campaign had no legal right to use the song in a broadcasted event.

Seriously? has acquired the title <Ljube Listed>

And I am supposed to care about ridicule from leftists? I take that as a badge of honor.

Do you even take yourself Seriously?

They can object if they want to.  Happens all the time.

Queen can yell to the rooftops that they object to Trump or the RNC using the song, but there is no way that they can receive a cease or desist order or legally sue for the RNC playing it.  The RNC has legally paid them to use it in the arena.

According to the comments section it's disputed exactly what the Rapist Trump campaign paid for.  Did they also pay for the song to be used at his rallies?

Of course I do. What I don't take seriously is half the tripe out of the mouths of the left on here. Your Alinsky-like tactics will not work on me.

How is what I wrote an "Alinsky-like tactic?"

1) It's the RNC that paid for the use at the RNC.  I have no idea whether the Trump campaign separately licensed the songs' use at his rallies.

2) The RNC isn't broadcasting the convention, at least on TV.  It is up to the networks to decide what to broadcast on their channels.  They can bleep out all music if they wish.  But the networks would likely argue fair use because it is a newsworthy event.

OK, fair enough.  I was wrong that We Are the Champions was improperly used at the Convention, but you acknowledge you don't know if Rapist Trump has used songs at his rallies, including We Are the Champions, without permission.

One ironic thing is that the song actually mocks the idea of 'winning' and mocks people like Rapist Trump.

Of course they did. Professional campaigns buy the rights to songs all the time. Most of the time, when a (usually) left-leaning band objects and sends a "cease and desist" letter, the campaigns have perfect legal authority to continue to play the songs. However, they stop using the song for optics/political reasons.

Do you Seriously? believe I'd take your word for anything.  Also, please answer my question.

[136or142]

Eh I don't care about self plagiarism as much, not as big of a deal as what was undeniably plagiarism from Monday night. It is fun seeing the knots that people like Seriously tie themselves into trying to defend such actions though. Remember, if you don't have a response, just fall back on complaining about avatar colors.

Side note can we please not say things like "Rapist Trump"?

When Rapist Trump stops calling Hillary Clinton 'Crooked Hillary" and stops his name calling of Elizabeth Warren, I'll stop referring to Rapist Trump as "Rapist Trump."

Joe Biden quit his 1988 Presidential campaign less than a week after this story broke.

And he kept his Senate seat and is now Vice President.

He got punished initially survived politically and came back.  I suggest punishing the Rapist Trump campaign right now.  He can run again for President 20 years later like Biden did.
