Can Donald Trump make use of tunes versus a musician's will?

.WOODY GUTHRIE'S "equipment" killed fascists-- or so America's wonderful dust-bowl balladeer created on his guitar. Jack White's electric machine "sues fascists", wrote the frontman of The White Stripes on Instagram on September 9th. The "fascist" is Donald Trump, who lately utilized the band's very most pop music, "7 Country Soldiers", in an initiative video. Mr White wishes him to cease. He joins a lengthy checklist of musicians that contest Mr Trump utilizing their songs: Abba, Celine Dion, Beyoncu00e9, Foo Fighters, the properties of Isaac Hayes and Sinu00e9ad O'Connor and also Johnny Marr of The Smiths-- as well as those are actually just the objectors from this year. (Our company have actually put together a playlist of Trump-appropriated tracks.) Can they switch the songs off?
