I read the law that I posted. Trump's venue isn't on the list requirements.‘Another musician is telling the Trump campaign to stop using their music, this time the cease and desist is coming from the band Linkin Park.
On Saturday night, President Trump retweeted a campaign video that featured the band's 2002 hit song 'In The End.' Linkin Park swiftly took action on having the video removed and shared a message with fans on Twitter.
"Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music," reads their statement. "A cease and desist has been issued."
This isn't the first time a music artist has told the Trump campaign not to use their music. Earlier this month, musician Neil Young stated he was 'NOT ok' with Trump playing his music during the White House's Mount Rushmore event celebrating Independence Day. Last month, The Rolling Stones threatening legal action against Trump's campaign for using their music at his campaign rallies. A week before that, the family of the late Tom Petty filed a cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign after one of the musician's songs was played at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.’

Trump is a racist, a bigot, and a misogynist – no artist wants Trump to use their music, no artist wants to be in any way associated with Trump, and understandably so.
There's not much a thin-skinned leftist artist can do about Trump playing his music if Trump meets these conditions. And the artists have lawyers who know what they can and can't do.
Playing Music in Public
A common misunderstanding among business owners is that songwriters are only compensated by the purchase of their CDs, so that a business owner can freely play copyrighted music for customers. The reality of the situation is that songwriters receive most of their compensation from public performances, so that business owners may be responsible for obtaining a license from a performing rights organization before being able to play copyrighted music in public. Some courts have defined public uses of music as:
- Radio stations
- Bars, restaurants, night clubs, and juke box operators
- Hotels that play the radio for guests through speakers or headphones
- Stores
- Telephone intercom systems that play music while callers are on hold

What YOU don't understand is, all the ones listed pays bulk royalties to companies like ASCAP or BMI. These companies represent the Artists and Recording Companies. I used to play the nightclubs and bars. The Stupidity of some posting a sign that said "No ASCAP or BMI will be played on the premise". That means that the Live Bands can't play any cover tunes. We did anyway. But sooner or later that sign was taken down when they got a visit from the ASCAP and BMI.
