Neil Young writes Trump open letter after U.S. president continues to use his music

A Copyright suit agaisnt a president is going to fail in courts. Copyright only happens when that person makes money out of the song.

Nope- you have to have a public performance license- or the venue does- to play music under copyright.

And, please use spellcheck- your posts might be taken more seriously.

Seems like he would just take him to court if thats what he was concerned about. He would have his attorney send Trumps attorney a letter not write an open letter about coronavirus.

I am certain that Trump himself knows 10,000 times more about these laws than you do.

America has a leader building walls around our house and doesn't know black lives matter. At the same time he appeared a protest rally with just 100 on Mount Rushmore calling it white supremacy.

Neil and Coulter need to have sit down and sort this out (perhaps with Steven Bannon as a fact checking observer), all these conflicting claims-counter claims are starting to get bit confusing.

Probably just wants the world to know he doesn't support Trump.

I don't want it to sound like I am defending Trump but he has stated that he obtains all the necessary Public Performance License (PPL) to play copy written material. So every performer is being paid a royalty when their song is played at a Trump venue. If these performers try to sue him they will lose because they are the ones who allowed their music to be licensed in this way.

No he used Trump to promote fear of Coronavirus and the idea that Trump is responsible for Coronavirus. He is making the virus a partisan blame game because democrats local leaders have shit the bed with their response. Probably for money.

Maybe Neil shouldn't have sold the rights to his music, it's not his anymore.

I'm thinking that "Fair Use" doctrine applies when used for a non profit political use.

But Neil never did give nothing to the Trump man that he didn't, didn't already have ...

Majority of the 100k+ deaths in America had being related in New York. And Calif.
