Lol Anyone Else Ever Noticed As Many Ad Songs In Their Life

[DJHawkes]

i hadn't realised just how many there are, it must keep the royalties rolling in,

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm.

[society]

You might be right about that!

[Nibble]

it's just background noise to me..

[DJHawkes]

it's not like the songs actually reflect the product half the time, probably the ad agency are given a list of songs available and they work down the list til they find a cheap one they actually know,

Hands that do dishes, la la la

I was going to post something similar but I am feeling a bit waspish tonight and thought I might word it nastily. I generally zap the adverts so I have no idea how much music is in them, I thought it was generally just talking to promote the product.

I once read if a song/tune was over a certain age you did not have to pay royalties

[DJHawkes]

i guess most folk are used to tuning out during the ad break, half the time i don;t even know what an ad is trying to sell,

[DJHawkes]

well certainly that applies to copywrite laws with ;iterature, whether it works with music i don't know, but oddly i think i should know,

Just run a google check, 50 years for the artist and lifetime for the compose plus 70 years after death, Cliff Richard is trying to get the 50 year rule changed
