Saw this coming the minute it played. Someone needs to inform these dumbass artists and their heirs that unless someone is using your art illegally, tough patootie. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Once it's played on live TV, it doesn't really matter. Pay a small fine and be done. It's not a criminal offense. Besides, the Trump campaign can say they meant to get permission, but were just careless.

I don't know they have a legal issue. I hope some freepers with knowledge and experience in this matter will speak up. Nothing there legally. This is just a group of lefties speaking out for one purpose, so their lefty friends know they didn't "sell out". Now they can go back and crawl into their safe space.

Its fair use at conventions. Generally, no it isn't.

Someone else thought that Harrison's plagiarizing "My Sweet Lord" was morally and financially offensive, too.

Great, now even dead people are hating on him.
Trump knows Shillary has a lock on the dead vote so why should he care?

‘The complaint was issued in the form of a tweet.’
LOL The sentence speaks for itself.

“””””The beatles songs sucked. End of story.”””””
I’m 60 years old. I always thought the beatles sang like some little girls. couldn’t stand them. I have been constantly bombarded with weekend “ Beatles Fests” on the radio and I believe it offends me. I will go to my safe place and recover but the Beatles WILL ALWAYS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Did Trump buy their use, fair and square? As I understand, if you intend to play a song in front of 25,000 people, you need to own the rights. Back in 2015 Neil Young publicly complained about Trump about using his song "Keep on Rockin in the Free World." Trumps campaign politely said: "hey millionaire rock-star hypocrite, you sold them, and we have the right to use them."

Would they prefer “Here Comes the Darkness”? Good chance. Well, they’ve got that now too, of course, but in a few decades, they’ll get it big time.

Generally, no it isn't. I've read something that appeared official on FR already addressing this complaint yesterday. There is no legal issue here.
