Tom Petty estate slams Kari Lake use of I Won't Back Down: "shocked that it's stolen, used without permission", will sue for promoting failed campaign

Well, his estate then asshole....I am so sick and tired of musicians wanting to throw hissy fits because someone uses their song to enter an event or something....Lighten up people....
It's stealing. The music that musicians make is their income. You have no right to use it without permission any more then I have the right to come to your house and take your car without permission. Remember Napster?
If these politicians want to use a song, GET PERMISSION.

LOL....Petty is dead remember? This is his liberal estate getting their panties in a bunch over nothing...
 
No, not necessarily....It is covered under the "fair use" doctrine....
The Fair Use doctrine is not what you think. It's quite complicated. If it doesn't meet the criteria, you would still need approval of the copyright holder.

She is not using the song to make money.

She is using the song to energize people to get out and vote.

That makes it public domain.

The term of copyright for a particular work depends on several factors, including whether it has been published, and, if so, the date of first publication. As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years. For an anonymous work, a pseudonymous work, or a work made for hire, the copyright endures for a term of 95 years from the year of its first publication or a term of 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever expires first. For works first published prior to 1978, the term will vary depending on several factors. To determine the length of copyright protection for a particular work, consult chapter 3 of the Copyright Act (title 17 of the United States Code). More information on the term of copyright can be found in Circular 15a, Duration of Copyright, and Circular 1, Copyright Basics.

Copyright laws are to prevent somebody else from profiting monetarily from your work.

If i charged you to come to a venue where I used one of Petty's song to entertain you and made money then it would be a clear violation of the copyright laws. Like a movie using his song during the opening credits and not paying him for it.

An exception is made for music and other entertainment material for use in the public domain.

She did not use the music to make money. She used it to for entertainment in a public setting. The intention was to get people out to vote.

This would be a good one for the courts to decide.

They could rule that this Libtard jackass Petty has the right to prevent her from using his music because he is a Moon Bat shithead or they could decide it met the definition of public domain.

The problem you are having understanding the issue is that you are a stupid confused uneducated Moon Bat that hates Keri Lake that clearly has moral clarity and has been exposing the stupidity and dishonesty of the goddamn Democrats and you don't like it.

You have a distorted view of reality because you have a mental illness, probably caused by TDS, TDS is a serious mental illness that has affected you Moon Bat's capacity to understand basic reality.
 
Tom Petty’s estate is looking into suing MAGA anti-democracy grifter Kari Lake for hijacking his music “to promote her failed campaign”


Fh0ONB0VEAAoBU-
They did the same to war monger and globalist John McCain.

I've studied copyright law for many years. You are way out of your league.
You can't break laws without consequences just because you disagree with them.
