Swedish supergroup ABBA has requested that Donald Trump stop using their music at his campaign rallies, but Trump’s campaign asserts that they have the legal right to do so under a blanket license.
Swedish supergroup ABBA recently demanded that Donald Trump stop using their music at his campaign rallies, highlighting a common conflict between artists and political campaigns.Despite ABBA’s objections, Trump’s campaign claims it has the proper licenses to legally play their songs. This incident is part of a broader pattern where artists have objected to the use of their music in political contexts, raising questions about the legal and ethical implications of such uses.
When a campaign or event venue obtains such a license, they are legally allowed to play any song covered by the license, including at political events.Artists like ABBA allow PROs to manage their music rights by signing an agreement that gives the PRO the authority to license their songs for public performance. This agreement ensures that the artist receives royalties whenever their music is played publicly, whether on the radio, in venues, or at events like rallies.
