How many times have musicians complained about their music being used in political situations without permission? As soon as I saw this I knew it would get taken down. It just feeds into the storyline "they don't want us to succeed and they are censoring us!"
Really? Is this like the first time you pay any attention to the use of popular music in modern politics?
The Rolling Stones have been complaining for years about the unauthorized use of their music in Trump's campaigns. Just because their hits have become ubiquitous over time doesn't make them public domain. Same with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Elton John...
