Can Donald Trump make use of tracks against a performer’s will?

.WOODY GUTHRIE’S “device” killed fascists– or so The United States’s great dust-bowl balladeer wrote on his guitar. Port White’s electrical machine “files a claim against fascists”, composed the frontman of The White Stripes on Instagram on September 9th. The “fascist” is Donald Trump, that just recently utilized the band’s very most popular song, “Seven Nation Soldiers”, in a campaign video.

Mr White desires him to cease. He joins a long list of artists who contest Mr Trump using their songs: Abba, Celine Dion, Beyoncu00e9, Foo Fighters, the real estates of Isaac Hayes and Sinu00e9ad O’Connor and Johnny Marr of The Smiths– and those are actually simply the objectors from this year. (We have actually put together a playlist of Trump-appropriated songs.) Can they turn the songs off?
