Every election cycle for as long as I can remember, some republican is accused of using some musicians works to promote himself and his campaign. This year it is Trump abusing the Rights of the GH estate. How much trouble would it be for these people to actually ask permission. It's not like they don't know they are violating someone else's property rights because - as I said - they do it every cycle and the rightful owner complains and asks them to stop.
As far as I can tell, none of the music is in the Public Domain, and none of it is being used under fair use rules.
Why don't republicans - who are by far the most frequent culprits - have any respect for someone else's property rights?
Trump has offended a whole army of Musicians by illegally using their music for his campaign. (Rolling Stone, Adele, Queen, Twisted Sister, Neil Young, Elton John, REM and Steven Tyler)

How do you know they haven't paid to play that music? Most of that music isn't even owned by the musicians for years when they wrote it they were under contract with a record companies who owned the music. Music can be played in a hall if they pay to do so which I can guarantee they did attorney's would make sure the owner was paid.

"[Neil] Young said he doesn't harbor any resentment towards Trump for using the Freedom track; in fact, he might have okayed the mogul's usage if Trump had just asked permission first."

So you think Trump, sits down at his computer, and selects the music? No possibility he would have a staff member do something like that and make sure its from a music collection thats part of a catalog?
If you hold Trump sole responsible for "illegally" ripping off musicians..then you have to hold Maddame Hillary sole responsible for the embassy massacre...

If you are family member of his, it will be up to you to get an attorney and work it out. This is something that would only impact the estate or not. "Offended"? Really, can't possibly match how offended at am at the Democratic Party's behavior! Reaching.

Trump is expect to follow the rules and laws plus have no opinions. Only "dynasty" candidates don't have to follow rules, laws, etc.

The Dems are just as bad about using musicians works without permission. But since the Dems receive 80%+ in donations from the music industry then the (Democratic) musicians/labels/etc. probably don't care if the Dems use their music without having authorization/licensing/etc.
A few examples of Democratic politicians using music without permission..
Bill Clinton - Fleetwood Mac’s - Don’t Stop
John Kerry - Springsteen’s - No Surrender
Barack Obama - Springsteen’s - The Rising
John Edwards - Mellencamp’s - Our Country
As for fair use, if a politician uses a song in a recorded media advertisement, etc, then they can, and have been, sued over it. Because of the Sleekcraft Test, if a politician uses a song in a campaign rally, or similar, then it's almost impossible for the musician, etc., to do much other than to vocally criticize them for using the song...
