Should Donald Trump Stop Using Adele's Music In His Rallies?

[sp1814]

The only other time I recall something like this happening was when Billy Bragg demanded that the BNP stop selling his music at their gatherings.

Once material is in 'the public domain', do artists have a right to it's use?

Or is Adele being precious?

FYI - I'm totally behind Adele here, but that's based more on my political leanings than anything else.

What about Radiohead's 'Creep' for Donny Trump?

[B00]

No!

That's a fantastic song, don't let it get ruined by that thing!

No. It's like anything else you put on sale. You can't really control who likes it, buys it, or what they do with it after they've bought it.

The BNP sold Billy Brag's music at their meetings?

// Who's Adele ven ?//

well adela of blois was a sister of William I - if that is any help

//No. It's like anything else you put on sale. You can't really control who likes it, buys it, or what they do with it after they've bought it. //

exact;u what Leverhulme said about Millais' protest at Bubbles eing put on sunlight soap - to wit he didnt complain when I paid him £5000 for it
( but for portraits now - the arteests are careful to sell the canvas and not the copyright )

[sandyRoe]

Maybe they were selling his sheet music to be used as Toilet paper?

I think you'll find Adela of Blois ("Adele the Blowsy") was William the Conqueror's daughter. His sister was Adelaide (short for Adela the jolie laide).

"Or is Adele being precious?".
Expert assessment called for. Over to you, SP.

Adele is to music what Trump is to politics. We know they are there but who gives a ****

[Mamyalynne]

I'm sure most women would prefer a very large distance between themselves and Mr Trump.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Do you think Trump or Muslim immigrants are the greater threat to women, Mamya?

[Mamyalynne]

In light f the OP I am answering I think that is a ridiculous question.

You accused Trump of sexual predation. Therefore you should answer my question honestly.

[Mamyalynne]

I did what ?

[Peter Pedant]

thank you jno

I dont check my facts now as so few ABers seem able to read .... I kinda knew she was near him on the fambly tree

so Adela the Blowsy ( fl around 1085 ) joins up with
Adela the chantoosy ( sang around 2016 )

thank you
