In this episode of The Screen Lawyer Podcast, host Pete Salsich dives into the controversy surrounding the use of music in political campaigns, particularly focusing on the Trump campaign's repeated use of copyrighted songs without proper permissions. He discusses the legal complexities of blanket licenses from organizations like ASCAP and BMI, the rights of artists to exclude their music from political campaigns, and notable cases like Neil Young and Eddy Grant’s lawsuits against the Trump campaign. The episode also explores broader issues of copyright, artist rights, and the potential for false endorsement claims under the Lanham Act.
