Rolling Stones Threaten To Sue Donald Trump Over Using Their Songs

The Rolling Stones said that their legal team is working with music rights organisation BMI to stop use of their material in Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

The Rolling Stones are threatening President Donald Trump with legal action for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives.

The Stones said in a statement Sunday that their legal team is working with music rights organisation BMI to stop use of their material in Trump's reelection campaign.

바카라The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorized use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement,'' the Stones said. 

바카라If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists, then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed.'' 

The Stones had complained during Trump's 2016 campaign about the use of their music to fire up his conservative base at rallies.

The Rolling Stones' 1969 classic 바카라You Can't Always Get What You Want바카라 was a popular song for his events. It was played again at the close of Trump's recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma 바카라 an indoor event criticised for its potential to spread coronavirus.

Other artists have also complained about having their music associated with Trump's events.

The family of the late rock musician Tom Petty said that it had issued a cease-and-desist order after Trump used the song 바카라I Won't Back Down'' in Tulsa.

바카라Trump was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind,'' the statement said. 

바카라Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind. Tom Petty would never want a song of his to be used in a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together.'' 

Grammy Award-winning musician Neil Young lashed out at Trump in 2018 after hearing one of his songs played against his wishes during Trump's pre-midterm campaign rallies. The Canadian-born musician admonished 

Trump for using his 1990 single, 바카라Rockin' in the Free World,바카라 in spite of earlier warnings.
