Will the Spanish Inquisition afflict Chris Christie or his Campaign for citing the wrong Palin?

Background: Chris Christie, the Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey in Tuesday's knife-edge gubernatorial election, has been called out as a copyright thief. He created an election commercial that steals copyright-protected material from British comedy troupe Monty Python -- without permission or credit.

Alerted to the theft of their copyright, members of Monty Python are most unhappy. Michael Palin, who appears in the clip pirated for the advert, is especially displeased that his likeness is being used by the Republican candidate without permission.

"I'm surprised that a former U.S. Attorney isn't aware of his copyright infringement when he uses our material without permission. He's clearly made a terrible mistake. It was the endorsement of Sarah Palin he was after -- not that of Michael Palin."

Monty Python's Terry Jones says that the troupe is strongly considering suing the Republican for his copyright infringement:

"It is totally outrageous that a former US Attorney knows so little about the law that he thinks he can rip off people. On the other hand -- another of Bush's legal appointees was Alberto Gonzales and he didn't seem to know much about the law either...," Jones said.

There is a long history of Republican politicians stealing content by entertainers for their political advertisements and rallies. Amongst other musicians, Jackson Browne have recently successfully protested the theft of their music by Republicans: Jon Bon Jovi, Don Henley, John Mellencamp and rock bands Foo Fighters and Heart.

Monty Python captured the video before it was removed. The Christie campaign should now be expecting the Spanish Inquisition...

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Must happen before suspension. To settle yes, any member of the Monty Python group or any of their representatives must sue Chris Christie or it's Campaign organization for copy right violations.
