I don't expect him to actually grasp how utterly his point was destroyed. He posted a chart that claimed 215 indictments on the trump administration, when the reality was only 6. His response: "My point still stands"
My point here remains: even if Fogerty doesn't own the rights to the song, proof that the Drumpf campaign didn't pay the licensing fees is the presence of the cease-and-desist. And really, no lawyer is going to file such a letter if there's no legal standing to do so.
It's a brute fact that - like many other politicians - Drumpf has a track record of not paying licensing fees for the music played at his rallies.

Maybe whateverman could also file a cease and desist order about the song, since he doesn't own it either, and that way this thread would be doubly pointless in its fake news!

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostWell, it's not really fake news, because it seems that Fogerty actually did file a cease and desist. It's just legally worthless and serves as nothing more than a publicity stunt. As long as the Trump campaign paid the appropriate licensing fees, then there's nothing to stop them from using whatever music they want provided the rights holder doesn't have an agreement with the licensing company to exclude their music from political campaigns.

Maybe if you actually looked at the source linked in the OP you would know that. Always do your own research and always check sources. Any "lawyer" should know that.
