If they want to control who buys the licensing rights to their music, all these bands should buy back their own songs so they can forever deprive everyone of it. And we will then forget them all and they all die broke.

I find it funny when I see these moronic bands threatening to sue Republicans for using their music, but the politicians actually bought the public performance licenses to do so. So the question should be, why do these bands find the need to steal from people they don’t like? Because I don’t see these bands sending the Donald his royalty check back.....

In the end, this was why Prince maintained such tight control over his music right up to the time of his passing—he didn’t want to get taken advantage of by the record companies. And I don’t blame him, given the slimy practices of record companies in regards to copyrights and performance rights of music.

I don't know of any of them who have threatened to sue, just a demand that he stop using the songs. And if the politicians had bought the public performance license then why do they stop using them?
