Rolling Stones threaten to sue Pres. Donald Trump over using their songs.

FILE - In this March 24, 2016 file photo, members of The Rolling Stones, from left, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Ron Wood pose for photos from their plane at Jose Marti international airport in Havana, Cuba. The Rolling Stones are threatening U.S. President Donald Trump with legal action for using their songs at his reelection campaign rallies despite cease-and-desist directives, according to a statement issued by the band Sunday June 28, 2020.

The Stones said in a statement Sunday that their legal team is working with music rights organization BMI to stop use of their material in Trump's reelection campaign. The Stones had complained during Trump's 2016 campaign about the use of their music to fire up his conservative base at rallies.

More drugs for this shits?

Not news. That song sucks any way.

Rolling Stones aren’t very good at all. I could think of a million songs that are better for the rally. So FO Rolling Stones & stay in your country. Thank you.

The stones suck anyways

I guess the only song Trump’s campaign has left is Gold Digger by Kanye? 🤔🤷‍♂️

I thought the Stones had made that clear the last time Trump used their tune?

Cry babies. Waaahhhhh someone we dont like played our music wahhhhhh

😅

Stone dead

Next rally should play ' When The Walls Start Crumbling Down' 👍

Support the Stone's 💜💜💜💜

Republicans are limited to only playing Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

Stupid...🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

They've made their just profits and now it belongs to the culture. They should be honored, not manipulative.

ABC Movie ' CADILLAC RECORDS' NARRATES THE STONES USING FAMOUS BLUES SINGER/SONGWRITERS SONGS FOR THERE OWN GAIN!!

whatever

The stones are stoned again.

The script was played in 2016 campaigns and Trump still won. Go ahead and sue. It won’t change ANYTHING

Honestly, what are they gonna do to stop them? 😂

These guess are that hard up for MONEY ? THIS IS VERY PATHETIC ! Trump 2020 don't need THE WASHED UP rolling stones to beat 'Sleepy (SLEAZY) Joe' !😎

This boycott of everything Trump is outrageous and the left says.....What Bias?

Maybe get SachaBaronCohen to sing at his ralleys

Uh oh wait until they discover one of your songs encourages black face...

Those guys are still alive?

He should be playing Judy Collins ''Send in the Clowns''.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t like the stones

Det var inte planerat att faktasamladet och skrivandet av denhär boken skulle ta tolv år. Men så gav jag den till USA som present vid dess tvåhundraårsjubilum,eftersom det mesta av händelserna i boken inträffade där. Boken Heter RÖTTER Berättelsen om en amerikansk familj. Alex H.

I’m sure in the morning Trump will be tweeting that they’re a third rate rock group anyway.

As long as he's not charging admission it's not a commercial use and they are not harmed. They don't have a case to sue Trump over it. But nice try fools at ABC, you know the law don't work that way.

left two expression:stop what? WTF I am doing here?...

Oh stfu

Minstrels thinking they are more than what they are.

Sadly most people don’t have the intellect to understand the complicated world of copyright and use laws.

President Trump should use a good old American band anyway...How about some John cougar Mellencamp Ain’t that America...

TDS

Why threaten just suit the Fucker. He’s been warned since 2015 not to use the Stones music.

You know.... If you ain't looting, then you ain't black!, This is the responsibility of a president.. .. and that's the thing man, it's three things actually., the 59th amendment guarantees it!. Togethe r, we can 't do

Leave him with kid rock and ted nugent. Karma

Rolling Stones have enjoyed the love and support for them and their music by Americans since the late sixties. My reaction to their legal proceedings is 'kiss my ass'

Please let The Stones play 'Brown Sugar' at every BLM event!

F them - standing with the left is MOB RULE

He needs Metallica not the stones.

everyone join Parler The better twitter, That's not ran like a Communist Gov. Twitter is Anti USA

They will however donate 'Sympathy for the Devil' to HillaryClinton if she is picked for VP.

Big effing deal

!!!!!!!!!!BE CAREFULL WHEN U CALL OESC CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ARE WORKING FROM HOME AND WHEN THEY ASK FOR UR INFORMATION THEY ARE STEALING UR IDENTITY

✌🏽👍🏽🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You should be flattered. But I guess to many years of to many drugs have clouded your brain.

Where's soul brother Bernard...___...***

What would be cool, is if Mick could influence Murdoch's Fox through his ex.

They have been bitching about this for years

You will be wasting your time because, it ain't gonna happen

Sue him. It’s the only language he understands.

these guys should be happy..that someone is still playing their music.

Get his Ass!!!

Yesss.

The Stones to Trump - You can't always get what you want

Jaggers face looks like ball sack skin.

Trump is fine please go easy on him

Do it....

All they need to do is go back in time and unsell out.

Hey a group praying at a statute we’re brutally attacked how about you cover that you pos enemy of the ppl!!

Support the flag. Trump 2020

Wow. Stunning and brave!

You can’t always get what you want

What is Trump playing....”You can’t always get what you want?” 😂😂

johncusack Yes RollingStones take Trump to court...👍😠

johncusack Yes RollingStones take Trump to court...👍😠

Who are The Rolling Stones?

Sue the bastard! realDonaldTrump

Him paying royalties to artist for playing their songs at his rallies. Fat chance of seeing it as The contractors he’s screwed build his properties. The businesses the money owes when his gone bankrupt. The cities that supplied security for his circus. Workers he’s cheated.

Ohhh please

johncusack Tom Petty's estate needs to do the same.

johncusack About time too!!!!

Their music sucks anyway.. Continue with Michael Jackson hits 🎶👏

johncusack Merica

johncusack This is just too damn funny! Remember Brown Sugar? I effin do!!! You Hypocrites!!!!

Do, please, please, do it! 😘

johncusack Fuck The Rolling Stones

Don’t threaten... DO IT!

Tom Petty’s management has filed a cease-and-desist letter to trump as well

johncusack Yes, they are, and I think Tom Petty’s estate will follow suit. Everyone hates lawyers, but everyone needs them sometimes.

who is behind them holding them up.

Did any Democrat president have to secure suchpermission? Of course not. Good luck with that.

oh I pray they do

Hope all you rolling stone dickheads DD already.. when I hear your tried as old songs I’ll make sure to change the station..

The Rolling Stones sucks in my book never like them way back & still don't a bunch of rich assholes! Go Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

johncusack Awesome 👊🏽💥

Trump says: “Pleased to meet you! Won’t you guess my name...”

johncusack I hope they do!!

I know this isn’t the proper place but my cousin is in DESPERATE need. Please help her with whatever you can.

nickfarina Are they going to sue RushLimbaughEIB too?

The hatred, in all forms, from these replies is palpable. Tough to see.

johncusack No Sympathy for the Devil,here!

johncusack

SUE!!!

And they’re real millionaires, unlike Trump!

They should write a good anti trump song. He will get butthurt. Then stop playing their music.

No offense to The Stones, but they just realized NOW to that he's been playing their music? Seriously Stop threatening and file the suit already.

This is news

Not a good biz decision. I’m sure he is warned!

They’re are still alive?

This is a disgrace that Donald Trump (the moron) is still trying to used others music for his benefit. It is not that he is unaware, it is his deliberate attempt to do what he wants. This group is not the only group who don't want him using their music.

Why is everything working against Trump?

Sue is ass off.

They’re has beens!!! Who cares!

Good! believe me he would be suing you.

Why have you waited so long? I would have taken legal action when he used it the first time

Good for them!

talk is cheap, you Jumpin Jack Flashers. Do it.

Go retrieve your walkers and leave😜

HATERS!!

Yeeeheeeeeee

Let's put Trump on Flight 505

LAW AND ORDER! (But of course, the king can do whatever he likes)

lrmorellana RollingStones please just sue him. It's not right.

He doesn't give a fuck about what they want or you want

So if the Trump Campaign 'buys' a Rolling Stones CD they can't play it at rallies? By the way the 'Rolling Stones' borrowed the name Rolling Stone too. The term rolling stones came from a muddy waters song, 'Rollin' Stone'.

They say rolling stones gather Joe Biden?

Oh baloney - he has used them for years! Now you need a story or something to whine about after all these years ....

One of the most powerful groups, their music and popularity spanning 4 generations, these consummate artists do not want to be associated with Trump and what he stands for.

Good sue his Trump crazy ss.

Thank you Mick

lol, this is news, god u ppl are pathetic

The Rolling Stones are threatening President orange man with legal action for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives.

LynMarshPhD About effing time!

They've been saying this for five years. Sue him or shut up.

Make him stop ? This man thinks he can do anything he wants and get away with it. And says it all day long.

Sue

Play GoodCharlotte at your gigs Mr realDonaldTrump

Block their visa to come to our country!

roll away stones

F*** the Rolling Stones their s*** anyway Donald Trump is the Sheriff in town

saltnburnem Why bother threatening to sue... Can't they afford to actually just sue?

😂 wow! When you make music it's out there for everyone, you can't just choose your fans... what assholes! Just like the Prince estate, wow!

Sue Trump!

Trump getting Trumped 😂😂😂

Trump is a walking disaster song by Sum 41.

Oh shut up! America made you famous &rich ! Stay in the line !

Good

Rolling Stones: go for it! Sue his huge ass off for taking your music as if he owned it!!

ShawnBabali They should’ve done this four years ago. The only song of theirs that Trump should be allowed to play at rallies is “sympathy for the devil“

DO IT!!! stop threatening

Good!

Ohh against DT. Lads you won't get any Satisfaction ! And it will take a long period, Time is on there side ! 🚀

Because that's what is important right now... K.

i still don't know why repubs try to use cool music-- the artists never are okay with that. especially with this administration. just use Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, or the handful of country singers who don't mind trump. that's your short list of choices.

Send Delta.

And there is another bunch of liberal pedophiles. All of them. Honestly, I wish Trump would stop playing it, it really sucks.

Trump breaks any laws without consequence now thanks to the GOP and MoscowMitch

The Rolling Stones don't roll to well anymore. They should stay in their own messed up country.

Why threaten? Just sue the shit out that guy.

Good for the Rolling Stones! When they go to court I shall buy every album I can find!

Do it!

The bravery of these men are only equal to the solider fighting Nazis aid WWII

That's not how it works. Lol

RollingStones have no back bone. MONEY is more important to them then standing up to a corrupt, racist piece of shit POTUS that is destroying the freedoms and health of so many innocent people. boycottheStones

The Rolling Stones' vocabulary matches Trump. And both front men have HUGE mouths.

Not sure they still own the copyright to the song(s) played...and if Trump Campaign pay the royalties for using the songs, then what's the problem?

Good luck doing that when Nixon v. Fitzgerald already ruled you can't sue him over what he does in a Presidential capacity, such as campaigning re-election.

No sympathy for the Devil?

Dip shit stones they already got their royalty from the facility they can fly the union jack up their ass

They should be grateful he would even play their songs, nobody else does.

Grow up.

But they didn't mind making their millions off the American people. Bunch of crack heads. Trump hasn't used their music in two years. Is that all you've got ABC?

Dude just don't use people's stuff!

Do it.

Stop threatenibg. Start the lawsuit

Not even an American band... no worries see ya old guys

They should just sue

They have no sympathy for the devil!

Don't threaten. He only understands law suits.

Thank you Rolling Stones, MickJagger RollingStones

Please Mick do it.

Best punishment when case is won by them: a fine to be paid out to the BidenWarRoom

The Stones can't do a darn thing. If they wanted to better protect their songs they should not have given BMI or ASCAP any rights to them. They chose revenue over rights. That was their call, not Trump's.

I bet he chose Sympathy for the Devil

Enough of groups threatening to sue Trump. File a class action suit on behalf of all the bands who oppose Trump’s use of their music!

Their song was also a favorite of most Trump supporters. Are they going to send a refund to those people?

Allow sympathy for the devil

Interesting

DO IT!!!

Never liked RS music.

I hope they get beyond threatening. I hope they actually do it.

FUCK BMI.......Whether people want to believe it or not......much of the Rolling Stones fan base are Trump supporters......Whats with the lawsuit?

Go for it ❤️

Nick Jagger is no longer cool, folks.

Oh common give me a break like Americans care of this music

He thinks NO doesn’t apply to him, in many capacities.

Just sue already.

A bunch of crackheads have a complaint, then get back on your plane and fly to mexico!

Nobody witha soul wants that fat pos playing their music

If they sold the rights to their songs there is nothing they can do. Just ask Taylor Swift.

Well it’s a stupid, lame song anyway. They need something new and fresh like

Stop threatening and JUST DO IT already!

You don’t always get what you want

Roling PEDOS?

Why? It's the only time anyone listens to their music anymore.

I wouldn't want him to use anything of mine I also find it very disturbing rock and roll bands like the Rolling Stone continuing to cancel concerts due to Public Health concern but Trump ain't concerned Save America and our democracy fire Trump in November make it one to remember

They’re becoming senile!

Enough is enough! Who the F do they think they are! Scre them amd get a new song! These are out heads and worse!

This world is just getting ridiculous. I feel sorry for my kids this is the nonsense they all have to grow up in.🤦🏼‍♀️

Threaten .... they should take the racist homophobic misogynistic liar to court

MickJagger don't just threaten, do it. Sue Trump and his campaign.

Which song? Sympathy for the Devil? Lol

Not newsworthy until it happens. But then again your base is mostly boomers and maybe they like being told about what other oldheads may or may not do

Just stop...you should be honored....

Best advertisement they could get, so ridiculous

Looks like they need to be in a nursing home

Like that!

Lots of luck on that one Mick😅‼️

They don't own their music the label does and he payed the label already so....

They don't want to have their music played in support of Trump, and they have a right. It's licensed art. TraitorTrump TraitorInChief TraitorGOP TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsATraitor TrumpVirusCoverup

Ina3121 Go for it guys don't just talk about it, do it,

Class action lawsuits!

Hell just do it. Why threaten? He has no regard for anyone except himselfm

Abuse of drugs reduces the number of neurones !

Bill Barr has got this!

Americans are who made the ROLLING STONES GREAT. Don't Fuck it up Mick. Do you really want to lose 1/2 of your FANS? just Rock n Roll

Has the rolling stones apologized for singing the song brown sugar yet?! Racists.

👍

This thing is getting old

Good, now do it!!!

Then don't play your songs in public garbage heads.

Yes. Don’t him ruin your work.

They should

Yes!!!!

He would have to be making a profit on the songs. He can use them if he wants to.

Don’t threaten do it

Trump has been doing this for years now so he needs to be sued now.

I guess I just bought my last Rolling Stones songs!

Don't just threaten to sue Trump, do it. BombardTrumpWithLawsuits TrumpMakesNixonLookGood

About time

Bigots at the Stones. Being divisive and hateful

Get out!

Go for & get it done .... I hate hearing your music at his rally’s etc.

Strong rumours are reaching me that realDonaldTrump has reached an agreement to play 'I'm a loser' by the Beatles at his rallies.

Don’t threaten. Just sue his ass.

that should definitely happen.

I thought they were all dead!

I hope they do it

Why threat first? Just do it without a warning.

The wheel chair stones?

Give me a break! Stupid. Go sue everyone in Tik Tok too!

I doubt Micks American fixed heart could stand the stress of a lawsuit.

Go get him!!!

Go get him Mick.

Threats, threats! Is that all there is? So, let's keep dancing, bring out the booze and have a ball.

They should thank God someone still remembers who they are, what a group of geriatric has beens.

I hope they do!!

Just don't threat, do it.

Just another set of pitiful people, and aren’t american’s. I’ll not list, buy or promote their group either

So brave so brave

B S LOL

Don’t threat him: sue him without any warning. MickJagger officialKeef sue the sob (it actually sounds like a lyric...)

They must need money

Wish he would change it. Can’t stand those old dopers.

How about they officially cancel their tour and give people their money back!!!

How many people bought their records, cd's, downloads? Of course people with every type of political belief. Why are these artists offended? Their music has already transcended party lines for many years... Whiny millionaires, sad.

If you pay for rights to music, you have that right.

You can’t alway get what you want

They should

At this rate Trump will only be able to play very restricted choice of music... Maybe some of Hitler's favourites from the 30s/40s....

They should get paid at least each time the campaign uses the song

The Rolling Stones are still alive? Huh who knew

Don't threaten. Do it. Go nuts. The more pressure on him the less damage he can really do.

No one is frighten by a group of old white Skelton men.

Do it!!!!

I wonder why people don't like you using their music you're always being threatened to get sued? realDonaldTrump GOP

RollingStones please sue him. It’s the only way he and other politicians will learn they can’t take peoples music without permission and payment!

Oh my gosh you’re pathetic!!!! And the president of the United States should be able to use anyone’s music he wants to. Good grief get over yourself

Noticia en desarrollo, si bien hay otros grupos musicales de calidad, con todo respeto para los músicos.

I’ve always been perplexed by the Trump campaign’s use of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, too. Was this an appeal to the “Big Chill” generation? Or is it a threat that “you get what you need?”

Do It❗️

News?

Boo hoo, let them sue.

Big babies.

Somehow this man has gotten away with a lot in his life. Please sue him for you, and sue him for your fans in America. He takes what he wants. It's time for that to stop.

Stop 'threatening' and do it! Sue his ass.

🙄🙄🙄🙄 what nonsense

don't threaten fcking do. between them they've got his money. you want your work to be connected to that. did he pay for them? once europe bans the usa due to your pres foolery. you'll get it.

Whatever Rolling “Gall”stones!

Don't be confused...please make the simplest choice stand or kneel build or destroy security or riot law or crime work or unemployment prosperity or frustration justice or evil

Do it!! Donald Trump is a PEDOPHILE!! HE SHOULD BE LOCK UP!

Did they just wake up from a nap. They should change their names to the Ripvanwinkles

They need the money clearly

How many cases is that running at the moment. Only thing hes good at is being sued. No wonder he made the donkeys sign waivers...

Please do

To bad that was the only time I listened to there music

They should, any use of copyright music owes royalties to the creators.

Here's the thing: Trumpvirus has been doing this for years. They will continue to play what they want, and ignore the threat of lawsuits, knowing no one can afford to follow thru and run the gauntlet of lawyers Trumpvirus has.

Pussies

Of course, it's their copyright. From the last time I checked, they've not relinquished that right. Trump should be ready to pay for copyright infringement.

The Trump campaign should just play Ted Nugent’s Stranglehold on loop! I don’t think they will get any complaints.

it all depends on how long it played. you can use snippets of music without consequence. to bad the stones are to old to figure that out

Sue realDonaldTrump We’d make statues of all of you!! DumpTrump2020 cnnbrk NBCNews

Go for it you guys

Sue 'Trump's Azz' Mic you know he don't like'Brown Sugar'!!!!!!

Nice

Which songs are left for him to play at his campaigns? Gold digger by Kanye? Can you imagine his KKK followers listening to Gold Digger at his campaigns? 🤔😂

Sue his behind

Do it!

Do it!

Anyone can use any song he wants, unless he or she gains profit from the usage of the song. In this case a President does not gain financialy from playing a song at a rally! This is just the RS, trying to be in the picture!!!! PHONIES!!!!

The Rolling Stones, like nearly every other artist, made a contractual agreement with a publishing company to sell blanket rights to play their songs at physical venues. The venue Trump rents for his events already paid for the rights to play these songs during their events.

And so? Does it stops his reelection? If it doesn't, f**k Rolling Stones 🤗

And so they should

U should be proud u have a song worth using don’t be racist

What took you so long? Do it!

mopeng If Cease and Desist orders have already been sent, the time to merely threaten to sue has passed.

Please do so already! This is four years in the making. Then write a song about the lawsuit.

This is news?

Mick is a pedo

RollingStones MickJagger 🖕🏻

Please do sue

Do it!!!

Just do it. Sue him.

These rolling old men wouldn't do that. President Trump is to the music of Elvis Presley. Donald, has no sympathy for the evil; he has love for God and gospel music of all faiths.

I hope they win

They should

They should allow Sympathy for the Devil though?

Like trump enjoys music 🥶

As long as he pays the fee he can play it

Who cares? Trump will tie any lawsuit up in court for years...and he'll never pay.

mopeng It's about time!

Either sue him or shut up. Tired of their threats.

Nothing more important to report?

djmer1 Which one “Brown Sugar?” All proceeds to BLM?

The media was dispatched by Democrats to literally help burn down cities to defeat Trump...everyone seems complicit.

Somehow I don’t see them winning this.

Sue.Trump should not get a get out of jail free card.

Why'd they wait so long?

They’ll make the POTUS cry?

Go get em!!!

Do it

Haha so what!

Why threatening and not doing it? Weird...

Be expecting the media to ramp up its negative reporting to even new heights from now to the election. How about a few stories of all the people leaving the Democratic Party (WalkAway)? I didn’t think so.

Sue him

Oh please there would be nothing better then to prove he's a bad businessman who does follow business law.

Give me a break!

Pretty soon the only music at the rallies will be Kid Rock 🙄

Oh please. More important things than this to worry about

You can't always get what you want. TRUMP2020MAGA!!!!

They can kiss my ass. I won’t listen to one song of theirs if they do. Kiss your royalties goodbye

A Rolling Stones gathers no Trump admiration

Aww. So quaint, but RS your naivete is showing. Have you not been paying attention? Sociopaths do what they want, then bully and threaten those who complain. You won't get anywhere without a court order, and even then will need to go again to hold him in contempt. File the suit.

Do it

Brown Suger is racist. Get ready RollingStones

The good news is that no one has yet to use Herman’s Hermits’ “Henry VIII” as a campaign song yet. Could be a good fit!

Playing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” ,at the end of a rally, to people that are not going to get what they want seems quite fitting. If I was the Stones, I would just leave it.

This is a delicate situation. If you love Trump and the Stones, you'll take this as them attacking him and you'll cancel them. At the same time, they don't want their music associated with this mess

.RollingStones SUE HIM! SUE HIM!
