A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Such a fitting song though because his campaign, and life, are sinking just like the Titanic.
Let me know when the keel fails and the whole thing breaks in two.
To be in compliance with copyright law, political campaigns must receive a public performance license from organizations like Broadcast Music Inc. or the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
So what are they going to do about it? Or if you're rich, they just let you do it?
The place they used it at has venue licensing for entire labels’ catalogs. These stories have been coming out forever about all kinds of candidates and nothing happens, because the use is actually licensed, the original artists just don’t like it.
Also that’s a weird song to play at a rally. A really weird choice.
Apparently he’s been wandering around Mar a Lago with his iPad putting this in the sound system, for years.
It’s his jam.
Doesn't this happen to at least one or a couple canidates and it gets quickly dropped as a story?
It's not worth suing if they comply with the cease and desist.
What is more interesting with cases like these, is that the artists pick sides.
Well, yeah.
If a politician that I supported wanted to use some IP of mine and didn't ask beforehand I'd just sign the document after the fact and if a politician that I didn't support did the same I'd send a C&D. If I thought their platform was against everything I stood for I'd make a public show of it.
How else is it supposed to go down?
There isn’t a cause of action because the music is licensed through the venue’s agreements. These stories are just click bait
Oh yeah, hah!
