Now this is just comical desperation
« on: November 07, 2018, 12:36:58 AM »
Really? A cease and desist letter for playing music provided to the public by and artist?

And what exactly will the penalties be when trump makes it a point to play 10 more of her songs at future rallies?  :biglaugha:

I KNOW!  People should be honored when someone so awesome uses their music!  How could anyone object to that great intellectual philosopher and champion of humanity using any music he might choose?  It defies the imagination!

Doesn't matter who's listening to the music. whether it be their race, color, creed, sexual orientation, education level or any other characteristic as long as they've obtained the music legally and have not infringed upon any copyright laws the artist has ZERO rights to tell them they can or cannot play it in a setting of their choice.

that's what's wrong with the left. They're turning into communists

It's not a left/right issue at all.  Copyright law is complex, and no one has an innate right to use copyrighted material except under the rules of Fair Use or having access to the Blanket License.  Before Trump ever showed up, the use of a BMI or ASCAP blanket license for a purpose not approved by the artist has been held in several prior lawsuits to be actionable.

Even the blanket license does not permit "public performance for profit" and political rallies have been held to be profit-seeking venues.

There is never a shortage of lawyers though, and I've heard rumors that there may be loopholes in the blanket license (which ordinarily allows the use of the material if a license fee is paid.) 

To the extent there is settled law about this, it favors the artist.
