      Most artists don’t own the rights to their own music, and the record labels will let anyone use it.

        Tom MacDonald?

        I listen to a ton of rap and the Spotify algorithm used to try to push him on me. He was my first block.

      US courts are generally very willing to seize your assets or garnish your wages if you don’t pay up for damages

      In NY, they started getting seriously ready to sell his properties if he didn’t pay up for his civil fraud penalty (he ended up finding a loan)

        Sadly the money isn’t being delivered to the plaintiffs because of appeals. But you know those escrow companies are happy to hold on to more of his wealth.

        Unless you’re rich, white, and far right.

        Remember almost two years ago when we all celebrated Alex Jones having to pay almost a billion af a half to the Sandy Hooks families?

        He has yet to pay them a single cent

        A loan for WAY, WAY less than what he was required to turn over.

        Nobody would give him a loan for the full amount, so he was given a sweetheart deal so he wouldn’t actually have to spend any of his own money on the appeals.

    I can’t help but feel that with the direction he was going, Mr. Hayes would have wound up as a MAGA guy if he had survived to see it. I hope not, but I have been repeatedly disappointed by people over the last nine years.

      Issac was a Scientology nutter. He already had his cult. AFAIK, scientologists are not known for dual culting.

      Scientology is rather jealously exclusive in their requirements.

      Sorry, but you just don’t get how they have to also play titanic songs without permission to really emphasize their campaign’s direction

      (Wonder if Celine Dion will sue too)

          I kinda hope that Trump’s campaign keeps using it, not because they’ll invariably get sued, but because Celine could then pull the most supremely delicious piece of irony ever…
          And play the fail recorder version as he’s being escorted out for transport to prison.

    The song is Hold On, I’m Comin’ from 1966.

    I don’t think copyright should last that long but if it’s what it takes to take down the Trump “empire”, whatever.
