The dumbest guitar solo I can think of is in Parachute Woman. The Stones could have made some great music if they had Johnny Winter on guitar.
What is the difference....
But they can sue for False Endorsement or copywrite violations.
Correct!
I am not sure BMI controls the rights in the US.
Used to be you paid the ASCAP fees and the artist had no say.
See #55
Licensing fees paid? F’Off! From what I can see the Stones don’t actually ‘own’ their music anymore so I don’t think their warning means diddly squat other than socialist posturing.
Actually you cannot.
For example, you cannot use the music as the soundtrack for a presentation in public. You cannot pay it in a bar. You cannot play it in a restaraunt.
The rules on paying royalties for public play are pretty strict. And they (ASCAP) are nuts about enforcement.
It’s all about collecting the dollars.
PS. How is your daughter?
75 years from the death of the artist. Keith Richards will outlive us all!

You'd think so, but we have the best congress that money can buy. The Mouse pumped so much ca$h into our legislooters that they've essentially destroyed the concept of the public domain. That despite the fact that much of the Disney fortune was built in large part off that very same public domain. I ceased to give a damn about copyright years ago. I have 50 days worth of music on my hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, if the tune is more than 30 years old, I'll give a copy to any of my friends who ask for it.
Everyone belongs to groups now.
Blacks
Asians
Gays
Women
And now The Rolling Stones.
Everybody baa
As if Keith Richards or Charlie Watts give a ****
How long does a copyright last?
The term of copyright for a particular work depends on several factors, including whether it has been published, and, if so, the date of first publication. As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first. For works first published prior to 1978, the term will vary depending on several factors. To determine the length of copyright protection for a particular work, consult chapter 3 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the United States Code). More information on the term of copyright can be found in Circular 15a, Duration of Copyright, and Circular 1, Copyright Basics.
And that is still the case.
Pay the exhibition license fee and you can use the song at your political rally. The original artists have no say in the matter as they sold the rights when they licensed the album for distribution.
The Rolling Stones know this. So do the heirs of Tom Petty. They can get some virtue-signalling publicity from their objections, but if it goes to legal action they will lose.
I wonder if he could use this one. From a few years ago, the most kick-ass version of our Anthem ever. I think Madison Rising broke up, but damn.
Does POTUS Trump use this already??

So did I.
It's a license to play the song and did the campaign do that? Even if the venue has the license the artist can sue the candidate for false endorsement or copywrite violations.
Why does he need to play the Rolling Stones? Don’t Kid Rock or Ted Nugent have any songs the campaign can use?
I just see it as a very negative song for any candidate. And really isn’t it about heroin? I mean geez. I like the song but in the context of The Rolling Stones in the 1960s.
