Trump needs no authorization to use a druggie’s song if it’s available to anyone to use for money.
Besides, the family has to know that Tom Petty would have been a Trump supporter by now.
Yes, I thought there is a legal structure in place, for the use of music. And that if the artists in question have made their music available for public use, that anyone who pays the appropriate royalties can use their music at events.
Anyone knows more, or if I’m wrong, please let us know.
Not true. It is not in the public domain. The estate has the right to release or refuse to release the work of a deceased musician. Using it without permission is a violation of the copyright.
***a druggie’s song if it’s available to anyone to use for money.***
Just pay the ASCAP or BMI dues and use it.
I don’t know. Tom Petty was pretty much a worthless liberal who hated his father for wanting him to be a Florida country boy. He was a great musician but an empty, limp-wristed liberal at heart.
