Not long ago, in a Croatia far far away........


By Soch Mel

Milan Bandic, and independent presidential candidate, is under fire for the use of the Star Wars theme song in his presidential campaign. Even if he is requested his campaign to use the music, it is banned from all of his future presidential campaigns.

He was only caught when a local Croatian music label, Dancing Bear, discovered the illegal attainment of the music. The music was illegally used in TV ads. The other problem is that the music was banned to be used for any political purpose.

The campaign team stated that the blame should not be pointed at them. They said that they bought the music from a production company in which the campaign team assumed the company followed all copyrights.

They said: " We received the commercial as a final product, and it was not our job to do anything more because it was the job of the Production Hrg company."

Milan used to be a member of the leftist Socialist Democratic Party until he left on bad terms. He is now the current mayor of Croatia's capital, Zagreb.
