A word of advice to politicians: 1.) The Internet exists and people find out about shit even before it actually happens and 2.) if you’re going to steal music from someone, it’s probably not a good idea to do so from someone as big as former Talking heads frontman David Byrne.

Case in point today’s news that Byrne has filed a lawsuit against Florida governor and current senate candidate Charlie Crist for the unauthorized use of the Talking Heads’ 1985 single “Road to Nowhere” in a recent political ad.

According to Billboard, Byrne’s attorney Lawrence Iser says that the Crist campaign did not obtain either a synchronization license required to use Byrne’s composition or a master use license for the Talking Heads’ recording. The ad also violates the Lanham Act of the U.S. Trade Statue, implying a false endorsement of Crist by Byrne.

As a result, Byrne is currently seeking $1 million in damages — the amount the legendary musician typical receives for use of his songs in commercials.

The news follows a similar lawsuit filed by Jackson Browne against John McCain over illegal use of his song “Running on Empty”  during his 2008 Presidential run. What’s more, the Steve Miller Band recently had its song “Take the Money and Run” used without permission by Marco Rubio, who, ironically enough, is running against Crist for a seat in the United States Senate.
