Can Donald Trump utilize tunes against an artist's will?

.WOODY GUTHRIE'S "machine" killed fascists-- or two The United States's fantastic dust-bowl balladeer composed on his acoustic guitar. Jack White's electric device "files a claim against fascists", wrote the frontman of The White Stripes on Instagram on September 9th. The "fascist" is Donald Trump, who just recently used the band's most popular song, "7 Country Soldiers", in a campaign online video. Mr White wishes him to cease. He participates in a lengthy listing of performers that contest Mr Trump using their popular music: Abba, Celine Dion, Beyoncu00e9, Foo Fighters, the real estates of Isaac Hayes and Sinu00e9ad O'Connor and Johnny Marr of The Smiths-- and also those are actually simply the objectors from this year. (Our team have actually created a playlist of Trump-appropriated songs.) Can they switch the popular music off?
