Can Donald Trump use tunes against a performer's will?

.WOODY GUTHRIE'S "machine" eliminated fascists-- or two The United States's excellent dust-bowl balladeer composed on his guitar. Jack White's electricity maker "files a claim against fascists", wrote the frontman of The White Stripes on Instagram on September 9th. The "fascist" is actually Donald Trump, that recently utilized the band's very most popular song, "Seven Country Army", in an initiative video. Mr White wishes him to stop. He signs up with a long checklist of performers that object to Mr Trump using their music: Abba, Celine Dion, Beyoncu00e9, Foo Fighters, the estates of Isaac Hayes and Sinu00e9ad O'Connor and also Johnny Marr of The Smiths-- and also those are actually only the objectors from this year. (We've created a playlist of Trump-appropriated tracks.) Can they turn the songs off?
