First Prince and now Queen...

[cynatnite]

A spokesperson for the rock group told BuzzFeed News that the video had been removed because the campaign was not authorized to use the song.

The spokesperson told the publication shortly after the video was shared earlier this week that the group had "already entered into a process to call for non use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign."

The incident marks the second time in a week that the Trump campaign has gotten pushback over its use of music for campaign purposes.

Earlier this week, Prince’s estate called out the president for his campaign’s use of the artist’s hit song "Purple Rain" at his recent rally in Minneapolis, where the late singer was born.

"The Prince Estate will never give permission to President Trump to use Prince’s songs," read a tweet from the official Prince account at the time.

to little Donnie. He might just have to throw a tantrum and maybe some bombs if you don't let him have his way with anything and everything that was ever good in this world.

I am so sick of the ass that I thought I was going to take a break but I simply cannot get away from this. Thank god my dreams are still safe from this jerk.

14. Throw in some Kid Schlock, too.

His song that plagiarized "Werewolves of London" would be fitting, given the thievery.

5. Do they need permission if they pay ascap or bmi? Nt

[unblock]

9. Legally, no. However, it's usually politically unwise

It invites the political media to give airtine to an artist who opposes you if you don't clear it with them first.
