Emily E. Campbell, Dunlap Codding Shareholder and Practice Group Leader Quoted in LifeZette
LifeZette, recently quoted Emily Campbell in an article by Christian Toto on “The Politicization of Music.”
Toto wrote, “In recent years, as pop music became entrenched in our lives, candidates began choosing Billboard hits to boost their electoral chances. Emily Campbell, an attorney with Dunlap Codding, said in most situations the candidates in question backed down if they were challenged with legal action by the corresponding artists.
Politicians would stand on firmer ground if they didn’t play the songs in question repeatedly, and obtained the proper license in the first place, Campbell said. But campaign songs are like jingles, she said, and to work best they need to resonate and be remembered by potential voters. That demands repetition.”
