Dr. Dre's Letter to Marjorie Taylor Greene
Dear Ms. Taylor Greene:
We write you on behalf of our client, Andre Young p/k/a Dr. Dre, composer and performer of the hit song 'Still D.R.E.' You are wrongfully exploiting this work through the various social media outlets to promote your divisive and hateful political agenda.
Andre Young is the owner of the copyright in 'Still D.R.E.,' with the exclusive right to exploit same. Mr. Young has not, and will never, grant you permission to broadcast or disseminate any of his music. The use of 'Still D.R.E.' without permission constitutes copyright infringement in violation of 14 U.S.C. § 501.
One might expect that, as a member of Congress, you would have a passing familiarity with the laws of our country. It's possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on. We're writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.
The United States Copyright Act says a lot of things, but one of the things it says is that you can't use someone else's song for your political campaign promotions unless you get permission from the owner of the copyright in the song, a step you failed to take.
Demand is hereby made that you cease and desist from any further unauthorized use of Andre Young's music.
This letter shall constitute formal notice to you of the matters set forth herein. Accordingly, please provide me with written confirmation that you have complied with these demands before January 11, 2023 by 5:00 pm EST.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed an admission of any fact of a waiver of any rights.
