I love this. It’s like when countries seize Russian assets and then use them to pay for weapons to Ukraine.

They should all triple match the royalty amount.
Trump needs to know that every time he plays a song without permission he’s funding Democrats.

That’s brilliant. Every time trump uses songs without permission, donate to Harris.

What would be funny is if someone was working inside the trump campaign purposely choosing music that would attract lawsuits in order to bankrupt the campaign.
Now THAT would be an interesting conspiracy theory.

> Trump played the band's song "My Hero" when he welcomed former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a rally in Arizona on Friday.
> The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.
> On Aug. 11, lawyers for the Issac Hayes estate threatened to sue Trump if his campaign did not stop using the late soul singer's song "Hold On, I'm Coming" at his rallies.
Another day Another cease and desist. At this rate there will be two songs in rotation, both from the Jan6 prison choir

curious, how much does the trump campaign have to pay the record company for the usage, anyone have an estimate? I truly have no idea but assume its in the pennies

That song is about Kurt Cobain. Somehow I don’t think he’d be part of MAGA.

Does the owner of a song have the ability to prevent someone from using it? Like at a rally?

They have to pay upfront before using it right?

All artists should proactively send a letter to the Trump campaign and post it on social media that the Trump campaign is not permitted to use any of their songs. Get out in front of it. Don’t wait to hear your song played at their rally.

For the Trump campaign to use Céline Dion, “my heart will go on” has to be a staffer trolling their own incompetent campaign. The song is essentially adjacent to a sinking ship which is also his campaign.

The orange idiot sure loves stealing songs of artists that don’t like him.

Why do they keep repeatedly using songs without permission?

Every election. Republicans use a song from a very not-Republican band…band gets pissed off, openly throws support to whatever Dem is running. Since at least the late 70s/early 80s.
Add the irony of said song being against what republicans think it means for an extra level of fun and entertainment.
