Using the music without permission breaks the law - not that they care.
Levi Powers has left a new comment on your post "Party in the MLC Video - Still Being Broadcast":
I find necessary premise of this video to have a tragic disregard for those Christians who struggle with homosexuality. Could you imagine a person who struggles with same sex attractions to trust a pastor for the Means of Grace after they made a video like this? I think not. This is most certainly not an acceptable activity of those who call themselves confessional Lutherans. I question whether or not the participants who created this video are beyond reproach.

When is SP Schroeder going to address the MLC gay video? He did not have a problem addressing the homo problem in ELCA.
Being missional - does that conflict with confessional Lutheranism which is suppose to be what wels says it is?
Contemporary worship services--- are they really in conformity with our Lutheran confessions as is confessed in the Book of Concord?
The most important question - when are are leaders going to address UOJ?

GJ - Not so shocking is the relationship between UOJ and this gay video behavior. They are still teaching at Mequon that Hitler is a guilt-free saint.
The re-broadcast of this video on YouTube, which could easily be prevented, is proof that President Zarling is not doing his job as president of the tiny New Ulm school.
Ditto the bragging page on Facebook, which promotes and links the same video. "Bring back the MLC version of party in the USA!!!!!!" has 1400+ fans.
Can anyone calculate how much time and energy were devoted to kelming a homosexual video ("Party in the Fire Island Pines"), frame by frame? MLC managed to add offensive material to what they copied - the Michael Jackson crotch grab. That is how, the WELS College of Ministry is portrayed, and they think that makes them cool.
The next time someone sues WELS because a teacher molested a student, the MLC video will be Exhibit A about the school promoting lewd, public behavior.
SP Schroeder and the DPs collect salaries and perks for supervising doctrine and practice, but that effort seems limited to pretending WELS is different from ELCA.
KJV Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of Hell than yourselves.
Lastly, the video is the equivalent of white guys doing black-face, waring nappy wigs, carrying watermelons and fried chickens, mugging for the public, shuffling and being cool. No wonder WELS is so good at creating thugs and bullies.
