ASK ON COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT: Did you hear the News this AM? I did. I was watching NBC – Chicago Channel 5 – WMAQ and was totally appalled. My blood began to boil! The News now is that Newt Gingrich, (who now wants to be ‘our’ President) is fighting Frank Sullivan (Songwriter/Musician of the Band, SURVIVOR) who co-wrote EYE OF THE TIGER for the 1983 Rocky III hit movie penned by Sly Stallone. Gingrich has been using this Song without Frank’s Permission and/or Compensation which clearly violates Frank’s Copyrights. The current news report stated that Newt wants the Judge (here in Chicago) to merely ‘drop the case’ calling upon ‘fair use of copyrighted material.’
Not only does this get the BLOOD CURDLING in every Musician who ever composed a Song (even those who have not gotten this far in their Musical Careers), but every Writer of any and all genres ‘out there’ who has created-from-scratch something that is so extraordinary that the untalented but super-rich and greedy businessman thinks he has the ‘RIGHT TO STEAL.’
Does Gingrich think that Song just materialized out of thin air? And, let’s NOT forget – for all you Americans who are voting: If Newt Gingrich is ready to RIP OFF one of the most notable and thematic Songs in America & in Rock n Roll History that was ever penned (and heard clear across the world that is the Inspiration for so many young Artists and Musicians-in-the-making) - that is CLEARLY not his own, just think what he would do (and has probably already done) to the American People. What kind of Message do we want to send out to THE YOUTH of Today, besides the #1 Fact that this TUNE was not his to abuse for his own Benefit without due Compensation, Acknowledgement, Credit & Permission?
As a side note to substantiate this Case that does not fair well to so many People of Ethics, I have to add that I then continued listening to & watching the Morning Broadcast of the TODAY SHOW on NBC/NYC with Matt Lauer, Ann Curry & Al Roker. The 3 were in the Plaza of ‘30 Rock’ talking to the Folks who had gathered there. One Set of People wanted to sing the BIRTHDAY SONG to Willard Scott who was born today on Wednesday, March 7, 1934, but only were able to say: ‘Happy Birthday, Willard’ as they held his picture up for America to see. To explain why this was so, Al (Roker)went on to say that IF the entire Birthday Song were sung, the Station would have to pay ROYALTIES.
Newt Gingrich has ROYALTIES to pay, but he can’t ever get back his Reputation. In my VO: Valued Opinion, that and the Presidency are lost for sure.
Come on now…where’s the Justice! Newt is a total Disgrace to Politics period. If I were the Judge trying this Case, I’d turn this into the Biggest Copyright Infringement Case in America since it’s so obvious to see who is in the wrong and who has been wronged.
In closing: This Video shows the Legion of Fans that love and support Mr. Sullivan in his fight against Newt Gingrich. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEjgPh4SEmU

FROM THE CREATOR OF INTERNATIONAL THANK YOU DAYS (C)94/5/6/8, Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith: Closing in on Intellectual Property Thieves.
Dateline: Saturday, January 10, 2009 - 1:49 PM CST
Chicago, IL USA:
On the Eve of INTERNATIONAL THANK YOU DAYS (C)1994/5/6/8 that I created which begins on Sunday, January 11, 2009 and marks its 15TH Year, that is an 8-day celebration that thanks specific Types/Groups and Services (of People) who make our Days better, I cannot help but see via electronic Alerts the exorbitant and growing number of Websites (commercial in nature and not artistic) that have blatantly stolen, lifted and used this HOLIDATE (like many of my others) that I copyrighted in 1994 to use for commercial money-making endeavors without giving me a cent. The top ones are:
Blue Mountain eGreeting Cards
American Greetings.com
Rowjielogy.com
Crayola Crayon & Crayola.com (formerly Binney Smith)
About.com
Newsvine.com
The Daily green.com (%: Michael de Jong)
BlueMountain.com
www.everythingpreschool.com
Andrew Holmes (UK & Northern Ireland)
Yahoo Greetings with American Greetings
MSN Greetings with American Greetings
My Daily Plan.com
HappyHolidays.com
Ajourneyofthanks.blogspot.com
(For starters) as others have appeared in previous years.
Truly, the amazing issue hre is that these people/corporations have NO idea about what Copyright Infringement is. But my attorneys are hot on their Trail and like the GREED that brought Wall Street down and the global economy to a relative halt, they will not get away with this. The evidence has been mounting the last 18 years since I began:
EVENTOLOGY (R)
The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith's Campaigns for Humanity (C)1990.
They will get their just rewards. This HOLIDATE TO CELEBRATE will outlive them and their SIN-ister Methods of STEALING.
In the meantime, to keep with the Theme of my INTERNATIONAL THANK YOU DAYS (C)1994/5/6/8, I am grateful this year for the following that quickly come to mind:
1) My excellent health
2) My continuous crative Streak that is portrayed here in my blog, KOOPERSMITHin (R) and the creation of now more than 1,900 HOLIDATES, making me undecidedly Hallmark's greatest competition for years now although I've always considered my writing in a class of their own.
3) Farmers who get my Food to me and the Shops & Grocery Stores in which I purchase these tasty morsels that allow me to pursue other activities instead of tending to the Harvest.
4) Libraries (those magnificent institutions) whose doors are open as a safe haven for the flourishment of my creativity. And, of course, those Librarians themselves who are considered 'Our first Search Engines.'
5) Special friends and you know WHO you are.
6) My bike repair man and his family who have made the Act & Art of bike-riding a family affiar for over 60 years now. The Shop is located within a 3-minute walk of my home. He has been a symbol of exercise for boys & girls (now adults and grandparents) for the last 60 years.
7) My Tuesday Writer's group that offers ways for members to think outside the 'box of #2 pencils.'
Every day is one in which we should be thankful. for those inquisitive, this HOLIDATE is dedicated to my Kindergarten Teacher, Miss Lucille Fritz who aided me greatly in my Creativity as a 5-year old in Mendota, Illinois circa 1957 at Blackstone Grade School. She did not live long enough to see the Event begin and become one of the most plagarized Writings on the Internet, but I am sure she would be proud knowing that she (even in death) is remembered and deeply thanked throughout the decades. The original:
INTERNATIONAL THANK YOU DAYS (C)1994/5/6/9
(which is 40 pages in length)
is now archival. Each of my 1,900 HOLIDATES TO CELEBRATE (that falls into 39 specific categories & classifications) is accompanied by a HOW-TO PROPERLY CELEBRATE SAID HOLIDATE.
As for those who are stealing my prolific writings: So they want to be ROCK STAR Writers and can't write a word; can't create as I do...and think they can get away with it. Not for long...
"Be thankful...it's a Realization few utilize until it's too late..."
