Family of Isaac Hayes threaten Donald Trump with lawsuit over use of song in rallies
Family call for $3m in licensing fees stemming from Trump’s frequent use of the Hayes-penned Sam & Dave track Hold On, I’m Comin’
The Harris campaign should plant someone at every one of his rallies and document the music being used, then alert the artists. Just sayin'...He's stealing.
And yes, #Stallmanists and #RMS himself rambling ideological nonsense and shoehorning it into a license aka. #GPLv2 and espechally #GPLv3 killed #Copyleft and inspired Assholes to go with #SSPL aka. the "You can't make money off it, but worse!" license.
I mean what's next?
#AGPLv4 which demands #LicensingFees to #upstream projects in proportion to the sales price of the product [like #ARM wants nowadays] or #GPLv4 which demands #ForcedLabour on #GnuHurd for violations?
@kennysmith I know, since #DW / @dw_innovation - unlike @tagesschau / #ARD, @ZDF & Co. - don't get conditionless revenue aka. #LicensingFees but are paid for entirely by Germany's federal budget, thus depend on political will and desire to keep their lights on as foreign broadcaster...
In return, I think this also results in a generally far higher standard of #quality and excellence in #journalism as they've to constantly justofy their existance as "expense" whilst competing against others...
