Blogging Inspired by the Blogging of Atrios

There is an article at the globeandmail.com about music that is inspired by, but not actually in, movies. Apparently there is a woman that has put out a record inspired by "The Da Vinci Code," but the movie hasn't been made yet. She hopes that the filmmakers (Ron Howard and his gang) will consider her music for the movie. I'm sure their lawyers will be contacting her immediately! On a related note, a record company that I "ran" with some friends once put out a single with a song called "Titanic," labeled as "music inspired by the music inspired by the motion picture 'Titanic.' " We avoided litigation by never getting around to releasing the single. Or renewing our P.O. Box. They can't sue you if they can't find you!
