Neil Young has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Trump campaign, saying it doesn’t have the rights to play his songs 'Rockin' in the Free World' and 'Devil's Sidewalk' at rallies and events.
that he would have liked for Trump to have asked for his blessing. During that first campaign, Trump's organization had made licensing agreements with the two main performance-rights organizations, ASCAP and BMI , which have traditionallyYoung acknowledged that in the 2016 Reuters interview, saying:"He actually got a license to use it ... So I got nothing against him. You know, once the music goes out, everybody can use it for anything.
Young's suit will serve as something of a test case for the copyright infringement argument, though his complaint also states that he"in good conscience cannot allow his music to be used as a 'theme song' for a divisive, un-American campaign of ignorance and hate." Along with barring the Trump campaign from using his music, Young is asking for statutory damages.
His stance is buoyed by a growing unwillingness among musicians to have their work co-opted by politicians. Last month, a number of world-famous artists, from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to Sia, signed anto both the Republican and Democratic parties asking them to specifically"pledge that all candidates you support will seek consent from featured recording artists and songwriters before using their music in campaign and political settings.
"This is not a new problem. Or a partisan one," the letter continues."Every election cycle brings stories of artists and songwriters frustrated to find their work being used in settings that suggest endorsement or support of political candidates without their permission or consent."
