在上周的竞选集会上，特朗普团队未经授权使用了滚石乐队的一首经典歌曲You can’t always get what you want。而早在2016年美国大选期间，他的竞选团队便非法使用过这首歌曲，还引得滚石乐队发推否认对其支持。据美国媒体报道，版权组织BMI已经代表滚石乐队通知特朗普竞选团队，若继续未经许可使用该乐队的歌曲，将面临法律诉讼。
The Rolling Stones are threatening Donald Trump with legal action for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives.
The Stones said in a statement on Sunday that their legal team was working with the music rights organisation BMI to stop the use of their material in Trump’s re-election campaign.
The BMI has notified the US president’s campaign on behalf of the group that the unauthorised use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement, the statement said.
If Trump disregards the exclusion and persists, he will face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed. The Stones had complained during Trump’s 2016 campaign about the use of their music to fire up his conservative base at rallies. ▌embargo（尤指暂时禁止贸易或提供消息的）禁令，禁运；限制
The 1969 classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want was a popular song for his events. It was played again at the close of Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an indoor event criticised for its potential to spread the coronavirus.
Other musicians and their representatives have also complained about having their music associated with Trump’s events. The family of the late Tom Petty said it had issued a cease-and-desist order after his song I Won’t Back Down was used in Tulsa.
“Trump was in no way authorised to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind,’’ the statement said.
“Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind. Tom Petty would never want a song of his to be used in a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together.’’
Neil Young admonished Trump in 2018 after hearing one of his songs played against his wishes during the president’s pre-midterm campaign rallies. Trump used his 1990 single, Rockin’ in the Free World, despite earlier warnings.
