Such a fitting song though because his campaign, and life, are sinking just like the Titanic.

Let me know when the keel fails and the whole thing breaks in two.

To be in compliance with copyright law, political campaigns must receive a public performance license from organizations like Broadcast Music Inc. or the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

So what are they going to do about it? Or if you're rich, they just let you do it?

The place they used it at has venue licensing for entire labels’ catalogs. These stories have been coming out forever about all kinds of candidates and nothing happens, because the use is actually licensed, the original artists just don’t like it.

Also that’s a weird song to play at a rally. A really weird choice.

Apparently he’s been wandering around Mar a Lago with his iPad putting this in the sound system, for years.

It’s his jam.

Doesn't this happen to at least one or a couple canidates and it gets quickly dropped as a story?

It's not worth suing if they comply with the cease and desist.

What is more interesting with cases like these, is that the artists pick sides.

Well, yeah.

If a politician that I supported wanted to use some IP of mine and didn't ask beforehand I'd just sign the document after the fact and if a politician that I didn't support did the same I'd send a C&D. If I thought their platform was against everything I stood for I'd make a public show of it.

How else is it supposed to go down?

There isn’t a cause of action because the music is licensed through the venue’s agreements. These stories are just click bait

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah, hah!
