..the few assumptions you've made about me are irrelevent to the arguement being...the pumpkins are using a popular brand to try and get some extra cash....i don't need to cloud my statements with semantics or university quotes and paraphrasing etc...just tell it like it is and in plain english.

It doesn't matter if the radio broadcast is from some illegal boat out at sea or beamed in via coca cola satellite the point is a song on the radio is judged by the merit of the music...whether they play it between a jack in the box commercial or not.

I find it strange to come on the official pumpkins site and read in the band news that they are allowing their music on a ford commercial(last year) and now this guitarhero thing...and then shout 'defamation' when pepsi uses the bands name on some amazon tagging or whatever it was...(which any unsigned band would die for may i add)...but yes i know....the pumpkins are an empire....a massive business worth zillions...and if all this is true....what happened to relying on the music alone?
