I hate Universal Music Group.. so in the spirt
of channeling that emotion.. I'm posting
the text I received today since I used the
song 'in the mood' on a home movie I shot
at the falcon field airshow last year.

Personally, I dont have a problem with their
assertion of copyright, but IMHO this is fair
use, and I'm not willing to be a mouthpiece
for UMG, so I've pulled the video, minus
the soundtrack.

bwahahahahah!
