You can play copyrighted music in the public domain as long as you secure permission from the artist and pay appropriate royalty fees.

My understanding is that many of these songs are covered by blanket licenses that the venues have with the music industry. In any case, unless any of these leftist pukes can point to a LEGAL issue with the Trump rallies using their music, they can just #### off. THey get their “artist” licensing fees and they can whine all they like.

I don’t think anyone needs permission from the artist.

Once the artist puts the product out, the fees have to be paid....nothing else.

Otherwise, an ‘artist’ could hold up the use for as long as they wanted.
