There was a case where Prince asked YouTube to pull a video of him singing Creep by Radiohead. YouTube actually pulled it down, but Radiohead contacted them and forced them to put it back up.
So, in summary, it's the songwriting rights, not the performance.
What’s a Ceveland?
In the past, Trump has leased the use of the songs from their authorized organizations and the requests have been blunted.
Skinead O’Connor is a bit overrated as well. Don’t know where they get “legendary”.
I thought that as long as you paid some kind of standard “royalty fee” you could play a song if you wanted. Of course this worthless whore would do something like this.
If he paid the license fee, he can play what he wants. I’d play it twice as much.
The city was going broke, so they had to sell one of their “L”s.
I remember when Heart was outraged and demand Governor Palin to stop using “Barracuda” when they had paid for the rights to use it.
Well, she’s dead, so you can’t blame it on her.
Public Performance License. They can cash the check or go pound sand. And shove therir cease and desist letters right up their Fanis.
SineAid, Cue Ball, Uncle Fester. It takes more than middling talent and mental illness to make legend.

That's what I've always thought, but musicians often ask their songs be pulled from Republican politicians. That goes back to Springsteen with Ronald Reagan. I don't know if they can actually force it, if the royalty is paid, but maybe the politicians don't think it's a good look to play it, if the Musician complains.
By the way, am I right that this has only happened to Republicans?
Maybe, but every time a musician complained about this, the politician stopped playing the song. Do you know of any exceptions.
I think you need to study the subject more, as your brief answer is not necessarily correct.
I suggest you start here:

I am pretty sure I could find a lot of examples to contradict this, but I don't want people to get mad at me, so you think of them.
7. Public performance licenses for songs are typically issued by PROs (performing rights organizations). The big four PROs in the United States are ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.), GMR (Global Music Rights), and SESAC.Each of these performing rights organizations will have a different catalog of music. Each usually offers a blanket license that gives you rights to any song in that PRO’s library.
There are plenty of exceptions.
See post 15 for some of them.
Every feakin' election cycle.
Also, if they have the song up for public play, and receive the royalties. They don’t get to say who plays it and who doesn’t. For example they can’t say chilies can use it, but the barbershop cannot.
