Trump’s campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

    Unfortunately they can’t sue for that. The campaigns pay the major publishers for what is essentially blanket license to use the music they publish. Individual artists can’t stop him from using their music because they’ve already sold or licensed the rights out to the publisher.

    Now if he does it without paying for the license, that’s another story.

      Fortunately they can sue for that. The Trump campaign didn’t pay anyone for what is essentially license to use the music they publish. Several individual artists can and have already stopped him from using their music because he stole it, repeatedly.
