At the time Billy Ray Cyrus was collecting his first royalty check for Boot Scootin Boogie, I was living in Ashland KY, about 10 miles from his home town. While I don't know this for a fact, I am under the impression that the Hannah Montana thing was Miley Cyrus's dads way of letting his girl do her thing as a walk on during his shows, while only partially concealing that she was his (Billy Ray Cyrus) child. I have heard her sing a couple of times & she does well, and if I was 17 instead of 74, I'd have to figure she was quite a looker. Billy Ray, I assume, has his guardian shotgun loaded and at the ready too. If she was my girl, I'd sure be standing guard. >---- >Knowing how the Disney people operate, I would presume that their >licensing letter/cease and desist has already been generated by their >legal team. I don't know for sure that Disney owns that trademark. This will probably tell the story though. The fact that it hasn't already been stepped on is encouraging cuz its been out at least a month now. >Craig > > >-- >This message has been scanned for viruses and >dangerous content by MailScanner, and is >believed to be clean. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
