Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

This hits.
Don't threaten. Fucking do it.
You know it doesn't seem like all that long ago that people were being sued or threatened for playing music in shops or in the back office of a hotel and stuff like that. It might have been urban legend at the time when the music industry was over reacting to Napster, KaZaA, Limewire, Bearshare, etc, etc. but it is true that those venues officially need a license for any music they play in public. So how come a nationwide advertising campaign can make use of music, without the permission of the artist, and not be sued into oblivion by the RIAA? Or does the artist not own the copyright to their own work? Or does the RIAA sympathise more with gentle, kind Billionaires than nasty greedy non billionaires??
In all likelihood they license it through a licensing library and the original rights holder isn't in the loop.
The RIAA is a tool for filfthy rich assholes, not the working class
The Electronic Music scene has the Association For Electronic Music (AFEM), because the RIAA are insane about public performance rules and would completely kneecap the club scene if they were in charge. If DJs can't perform the shit in their collection without explicit rights for every track, the scene falls apart.
Interestingly, Trump could likely get away with hiring DJs and playing club anthems at his rallies, but that would probably alienate his base pretty severely.
A friend of mine made one of White's iconic guitars. That friend offered to make a copy of that iconic guitar for me. That friend was threatened with a lawsuit from White if that guitar were copied. I'm not sure that case would have held up in court given that the guitar in question is a copy of a copy, but...
How did he even know about it? Did he post on Instagram that he was making Jack White's guitar for a friend?
Take it or leave it. I'm omitting a lot.
How did Jack White find out your friend offered to make you a copy of his guitar?
Which guitar in particular are you talking about?
Don't threaten, just do it.
I think they should instead say something like, "The tRump campaign is so inept, so disorganized, that they don't even know that they need to get permission first to use certain songs at their rallies. Sad."
He’s basically decided to stop getting the rights to music he plays at his campaigns. Looking cool is worth the lawyers fees for him.
He’s got enough money to not care about the law. He’s a billionaire and he has a loyal group of followers who keep giving a rich guy more money.
I heard he used Dolly the other day.
I love that with almost every song he tries to use lately the artist slaps him down!
We will also learn who the greedy artists are who first push back and then retract as they notice backlash and decreased income from the Magoo army.
Funny how conservatives hate art and artists and anyone on the left, and yet boy, they sure do like the art the left makes.
Wonder why they won't stick to kid rock and country shit.
I read somewhere that he used Dolly's "Jolene" yesterday.
Would love that fallout if true....
Dolly's said she keeps herself out of politics unless she's directly attacked, like when that columnist for the Federalist slagged her for not being homophobic despite being a Christian.
But wouldn't using her music for political campaigns go against the keeping out of politics?
I wouldn't be surprised if she not exactly speaking out against trump but speaking out about a political campaign using her music.
She's smarter than smart.
Don't let Nazis use your music to spread their message of hate!
I don't get why any right holder would not sue the moment they use their thing. talk about negatively effecting the ip.
Right?
Unless it's a cause you'd donate to, and by extension donate your music to, get it back!
These same record companies always go after poor people downloading their music, too.
