For years, it has seemed as if Donald Trump can always get what he wants, at least when it comes to using classic rock and pop hits at his campaign rallies against the wishes of the original artist…

, who have tried for years to keep the president from appropriating “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” as his walk-off music, have not thrown in the towel., the publishing rights organization that oversees public use of the song, in their quest to keep the track from being used for politically partisan purposes. And the band says there’ll be a lawsuit if the president continues using the song without a license.

Despite cease & desist directives to Donald Trump in the past, the Rolling Stones are taking further steps to exclude him using their songs at any of his future political campaigning. The Stones’ legal team [is] working with BMI… As these disputes have arisen, at issue is whether a song’s use in a campaign rally is covered by a blanket license held by the host venue for all performance purposes. BMI is joining the Stones in contending that the Trump campaign is subject to a license specifically established for political uses, which allows songwriters to object to and withhold use.Variety“BMI’s Political Entities License was implemented about ten years ago to cover political campaigns,” Thomas says.

If it’s the other way around, Trump has no qualms of dragging you to court. Actually, he has sued A LOT of people for misusing his trademark of TRUMP.

All the musicians whose music he ues should band together and sue him relentlessly.

GOOD!!!

at their dam age they should be glad people still want to hear their music

🙄

Go ahead. You’ll lose. You license to premises. So, pull it all, or don’t waste everybody’s time.

JeffMacke It's pretty much virtue signalling on their part since the venues used have a public performance license that grants permission to play the song in public. It's good publicity but most likely won't stand up in court. Good try though.

Lol. They can sue all they want to. The President, whomever he is, has the right to use ANY song.

I’m certain he can pick from the entire 3 Doors Down catalog.

I wonder if Ray Davies of The Kinks will let Joe Biden use the song “ State. Of Confusion.”

What would be a fitting song for Trump to use at his rallys ?

petrus bonus you are here table of content~!

Thanks God. Start Me Up is a much better choice IMHO

Do it!

what are they waiting for?

JeffMacke Of course I’m sure they haven’t turned back any of the dirty royalties from the repeated play. And if they haven’t, that can be legally construed as consent. The Stones were much more fun when Keith was on smack.

Start it Up!

The Rolling Stones should be happy that their music isn't being adopted by wussy leftist candidates. If I were them, I wouldn't want the likes of Gavin Newsome or Eric Garcetti associated with my life's work.

Don’t threaten the President!...Sue him already. 😁

PELO AMOS DE DEUS MICK JAGGER, NÃO SE COLOCA CONTRA O TRUMP! Teu poder de zicar o teu lado pode ter consequências GLOBAIS!!!!

Boo hoo

always dramatic

Don’t threaten. Do it. You can do it, gramps

four years after the fact...

Waaaaa aging hipsters need to shut up

I have heard Tom Petty's family is also calling to stop using his songs. Trump is a thief. He never asked permission and i bet he is not paying royalties either!

Here's an image the Rolling Stones used to promote their bad boy image. They are portrayed as Nazi pedophiles.This was part of their act The Rolling Stones and BMI are now saying realDonaldTrump is too something to use their songs Shall we take a walk thru history MickJagger

Maybe 'breakin the law' would be available for free? Somebody call Judas Priest? judaspriest

Good! Don’t let him ruin this song any further.

Standby for Trump to start tweeting how The Rolling Stones were 'overrated'

Robbie Robertson Looks Back on the BandWith the new doc 'Once Were Brothers' now available to stream, Robbie Robertson takes an in-depth look at his time in the Band on a recent episode of our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast Is he going to un-write “The night they drove old Dixie down”? Of course there's no one to dispute his view. Robbie has been all about Robbie for decades. The film is self-serving, which should surprise no one who knows anything about Robertson.
