I was not aware that candidates were playing songs without paying the royalties. I thought it was more the artists picking and choosing what candidates ought to be playing their music.
No. Like all successful people, they like to be paid for their work. I can’t say that I blame them. It would be different if they paid and then the stars complain, but I think the candidates think they should be donated the songs. How silly especially from Trump who would NEVER allow someone to sleep for free at his hotels.
