Campaign jingles and copyright laws

JINGLES. From the start of the campaign period, the jingles of the different candidates can be heard all over. “Nindot sad paminawon ang ilang mga jingle oy. Ilabi na kung ang tono kay gisunod sa mga sikat nga kanta,” said an Ear informer.

COPYRIGHT. But the same Ear informer is wondering if the candidates using the tunes of popular songs have asked permission to use them for their jingles. “Nananghid ba kaha na sila no?” the informer asked a friend and got this reply: “Sus, di na na kinahanglan ipangutana. Ang angay ikahibung kay kung na ka pananghid sila.”
