How Donald Trump Broke the GOP’s Music Curse (he keeps playing Adele even after she complains)
Politico ^ | Feb 7 2016 | Review Troy

Donald Trump has been blowing up the old traditional GOP certainties left and right, and this week he overturned another one. In what seemed like an embarrassing rebuke, on February 1, Adele told the Republican front-runner that he didn’t have her permission to use her songs at his massive campaign events. Adele might just be the world’s most popular singer at the moment, and any normal candidate would have folded his tent, chastened. Not Trump. At his rally in Little Rock, Arkansas two days later the crowd of thousands listened to Adele’s “Skyfall” before Trump’s helicopter landed.

Isn’t it interesting that the libs expect us to share absolutely everything that we earn or create with people who don’t share our values or our work ethic and yet they complain to no end about having to “share” what they create. Another case of liberals believing that the rules they want to force onto others should not have to apply to them.

Why would he play ABore in the first place? Yes ABore has a good voice but her songs are about as exciting and stimulating as watching paint dry.

It's now time to seek the LORD. Sow the wind and you'll reap the whirlwind. It's up to you and all the other Freepers if you're on the LORD’s side or Trump's.

Trump is trash. People are turning themselves into trash in order to tolerate him.

If you say so...

*YAWN*

I’m sure he pays her a bit more. As he should. That piece of music is now synonymous with him, not with her.

I haven’t either. Some pop culture icon I guess? You and I must be squares, steve86. (Do people still use the term ‘square’?!?)

Why would Trump need to pay for playing anything?

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/10/court-rules-phones-ringing-public-dont-infringe-co
The ruling is an important victory for consumers, making it clear that playing music in public, when done without any commercial purpose, does not infringe copyright. That’s thanks to Section 110(4) of the Copyright Act, which exempts public performances undertaken “without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage.”
