Yes. "As noted many times before - if the venue is licensed to play the music then it is perfectly legal for the Trump event to play the song." Gwb-trading "Even though I have the legal right to use Steven Tyler’s song, he asked me not to." Trump "That is false. As noted Trump stopped playing Steven Tylers music after his final warning" Tony Stark He stopped using Tyler's music because he was asked too. Not because of some Lawyer's letter.
As every legal analyst noted -- Trump has every legal right to play Steven Tyler's song at the event held in the venue.
Yes,really. https://variety.com/2018/politics/n...ith-trump-rally-song-cease-desist-1202913493/ Steven Tyler Demands Trump Stop Playing Aerosmith Songs at Rallies Shirley Halperin August 22, 2018 3:22AM PDT Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler is demanding President Donald Trump stop using the band’s songs at rallies, like the one held at the Charleston Civic Center in West Virginia on Tuesday (August 21). The band’s 1993 hit “Livin’ on the Edge” was played as Trump devotees entered the venue, which has a capacity of 13,500. Tyler has in turn sent a “cease and desist” letter through his attorney Dina LaPolt to the White House accusing the President of willful infringement in broadcasting the song, which was written by Tyler, Joe Perry and Mark Hudson. Citing the Lanham Act, which prohibits “any false designation or misleading description or representation of fact … likely to cause confusion … as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person,” Tyler’s attorney contends that playing an Aerosmith song in a public arena gives the false impression that Tyler is endorsing Trump’s presidency. The matter has come up previously with another Aerosmith song, “Dream On,” which Trump used during his 2015 election campaign. Following a similar letter stating, “Trump for President needs our client’s express written permission in order to use his music” and that the campaign “was violating Mr. Tyler’s copyright,” BMI drove the point home and pulled the public performance rights for the song. Public performance rights for “Livin’ on the Edge” are administered by ASCAP.
Lawyers can spout whatever they want, means nothing. To my knowledge there was no court action barring Trump from using the music. If the public performance rights were pulled then that would prohibit it. But the fact is Trump chose to stop using the music. Not Tyler's Lawyer threat.
