Adele To Trump: Donald Trump 'had no permission' to use music http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35463539
Let's get to the the legality as outlined in the article - "Technically, US copyright laws give politicians carte blanche to use recorded music at their rallies" It does not really matter what the musician thinks - getting their permission means nothing.
Technically, US copyright laws give politicians carte blanche to use recorded music at their rallies - as long as the venue has a public performance licence issued through a songwriters' association such as ASCAP or BMI (in the US) or PRS (in the UK).
How Fox News Covered Iowa: By Declaring Its Own Victory Over Trump http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat..._lost_because_he_skipped_fox_news_debate.html
Trump feels let down.He tweeted this, I don't believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!
I wanted to Cruz to win. I enjoyed the first part of his victory speech. (and did not see the whole thing as I had to pick up my son.) I was thinking this is a great thing last night. Cruz may win and he may face the weakest candidate in memory. Now... oddly I am concerned that Trump might not win. Normally my emotions and my thoughts are completely aligned. Now, I think I was secretly hoping the voters would help Trump roll over everyone in the election and then he would roll over the establishment once elected. So I think I prefer cruz but I prefer him less than I really want see the established revealed as traitors and then dismantled.
Iowa means nothing in the overall scheme of things. It's an unimportant, unrepresentative state and it is ridiculous that the parties allow it and New Hampshire to have such a disproportionate role. The last two winners in Iowa were Santorum and Huckabee, so Cruz should not get too excited. That said, this certainly helps Cruz. I give him credit for not budging on ethanol. Trump tried to pander by supporting it and it didn't work.
