Sorry, Pharrell, but Trump's Rally has an ASCAP license, and can play any licenced music it wishes to play.
You gave him permission when you signed the ASCAP agreement.
Hope you're 'Happy' now.

The venues that Trump holds the rallies at also very likely have ASCAP, BMI and SESAC licenses, so the artist really can't do much about it other than request he stop.

Yup. Chrissie Hynde found that out when she tried to get Rush to stop playing Back to Ohio every day.

Sorry, Pharrell, but Trump's Rally has an ASCAP license, and can play any licenced music it wishes to play. Depends on the state. Some states have Right of Publicity laws which give artists control over how their music is used. He can claim trademark dilution under the Lanaham Act by claiming Trump's use of the song decreases the value of his trademark among his fan base. He can make a False Endorsement Claim saying that Trump using his song implies that he endorses the President.
In the end is it really worth it? Aren't there any Ted Nugent or Kid Rock or Kanye West songs Trump could use?
