Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200
Friday, November 16th, 2007I know some dealers would love to air spots like the ones below (I find them very cringe worthy), but these are EXTREMELY ILLEGAL! You must buy the rights to songs in order to have them in your advertisements, especially if you are going to change the lyrics. This is a very quick way to put yourself in deep legal trouble.
Obviously the first one is using Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and the second one is U2’s “Beautiful Day.”
