I enjoyed listening to this NPR news story last week regarding colleges, namely Auburn and Alabama, who do not own the copyright to their fight song.
It was a great opportunity to explain to my 8 year-old what Mom does for a living when it comes to licensing songs. His reply to the idea that Auburn does not make any money from their fight song ... "they should become a vicious mob and get their money."
