So I’m supposed to feel sorry for rich musicians who can cry every night into a bucket of money?
Maybe they can take their anger out by giving free concerts for Hillary again to see if it actually helps her this time
Why would you feel sorry? A song was used without permission so the artist is putting a stop to it. The only ones getting hysterical & flapping their hands about it are the usual con drama queens on here who have no life. Losers.
HAPPY is a wonderful, positive, upbeat song with a message added in...
Disgraceful for Trump to use it....
he embodies NONE of the positivity.
It's an odd song for sure to be used at a Trump rally, no matter who chose the song. Someone said elsewhere on tis board that at a rally last week, the Stones' "Sympathy For the Devil" was used as he came in. I don't know that to be true, but it'd be a perfect choice if it was.
Yawn -- you entertainers make the music, you get paid big sums of money -- YOU DO NOT GET TO CENSOR how your music is used. Don't like it? Tough. Go get a real job.

LOL...Kind of ironic since him and two others got hit with a 7 million judgement for copyright infringement.
If they play it in all bars every night at closing time you should be paid. It is not uncommon for an artist to earn $500,000 a year just because their song gets played by someone who already owns a single copy of the CD.
Williams could also pull the song from his BMI or ASCAP catalogue or limit the way it should be used.
Its similar to what Monsanto and farmers are in lawsuits over.
No one is profiting from it.
They are not selling tickets.
Now, if these rallies were for monetary gain in sales of the song, then by all means they would and should be compensated.
Heck, the have the entire Lee Greenwood catalog to use. What more do they need?
LMAO ...

Wrong again! D'oh!
If someone buys your work, and there is mutual consent in writing that they can do with it as they please, then that is OK under the law.
If someone buys your work and uses it for commercial purposes without your consent - playing it at a political rally, for instance - that is a violation of copyright law.
Geez, you law-and-order conservative types can't even get this simple law straight. No wonder this country is such a mess.

I disagree, I have no sympathy for a compulsively lying con-man.

Cover Bands that sing other musicians music....
Happens nightly in Austin Texas, in over 100 venues.
Now, it is for profit and violates copyright legislation..... Who is screaming?
