I'm going to need the playlist of songs Trump isn't legally allowed to use.

[RocLobo]

I'm a professional musician and there is a huge risk that the song can become associated with trump through repetition and will interfere with the estates ability to monetize it in the future.

[darkcardking]

"We got a license" "BMI told you that the song is not included, and the Hayes estate said no." "La la la, I can't hear you over the song that I licensed" This has been a dramatic reenactment of this lawsuit. Thank you.

[venanziadorromatagni]

A judge should grant the rights holders a compensation, based on the number of people present at each of these rallies and then ask Trump how many people had been at each rally.
I’m fairly sure the clash between his ego and his greed would send him totally off the rails. 😂

[indigoviolet_]

“End of list.”
Dang, you went for the jugular.

[reh]

Notice how Trump doesn't want to use any of the shitty music from artists that support him.

[MrBogus]

I said it weeks ago, Kamala Harris asks if she can use a song and gets permission plus a donation. Trump uses someone's music and they get a cease and desist.

ETA: I know Kamala asked, that's why I used the words "ask" and "permission" when referring to the Harris campaign. And notice, I didn't use those words in reference to the Trump campaign? Come on people, don't misunderstand my statement and then correct me on something I didn't get incorrect

[ohppig]

I'm amused that Trump used "Electric Avenue." (Conservatives never listen to the lyrics or understand a song's history part 10, 000). "We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue [to join the street protests against discrimination toward Caribbean immigrants in the UK]

[AlexanderCollas]

based upon all the grief Youtube gives creators about copyright, shouldnt they remove any videos of trump with copyrighted music?

[UhOphelia]

Dude if he was still around and on South Park you KNOW they'd make an episode about a politician stealing Chef's music

[TheRibottoStudios]

It's really funny to me that Trump's supporters will look at a band like Green Day and be SURPRISED that they're AGAINST what Trump stands for. Like...what did they THINK "American Idiot" was about? Linkin Park's "What I've Done" while closely associated with Transformers thanks to the iconic ending of the first film back in 2007, has the meaning of humanity vs nature. That we're a broken society. Like...Of course they would object to TRUMP using it in his campaign.

[JorgeLopez-qjpu]

Where's the Supreme Simp Court, to come out and say "No Former or acting president can be sued for any copyright violations" 😭😭😭

[ArmageddonAngel]

Judge Thrash is the perfect name for a music copyright dispute.

[jemmam]

Trump continues his pattern of not asking for consent

[talou]

Praying for him to say some dumb shit like "I was persecuted for using songs, songs that anyone can listen to, when I'm president again we're gonna stop them from ever telling us to not use songs for anything, or anything we want to use anywhere we want, we will use things and nobody will stop us." and it loses him some corp support

[iainhewitt]

The idea that the, 'soundtrack of the civil rights movement, ' is being used by a man who is openly anti-civil and women's rights is disgusting

[danielreed]

Trump should ask P Diddy if he can use his music, they share the same sensibilities when it comes to the treatment of women.

[KirstyForshaw-kx]

Linkin Park sent him a cease and desist order for using 'In The End' and it makes me proud to have their logo and signatures tattooed on me. They didn't want Chester to ever be associated with anything to do with Trump.

[seattlegrrlie]

Sidenote... I've always found it weird that Trump likes to use songs like YMCA and this one. Like, dude, are you that clueless? Yes, yes he is

[samaeltheundying]

Him having to delete the footage with unregistered copyrighted music would have been wild.
