Civil rights and Copyrights

I saw that many were struck by the police brutality and racial discrimination that caused George Floyd’s premature death.  I am sure you remember how the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King fought for equality and more than fifty years later it is still an issue in the United States.  People from all over the world have rallied in support claiming that black lives matter, and proven that people stand together. We all have a big responsibility to make this world a better place for everyone, a world where people are treated with dignity, respect and offered the same rights.

On another note, Donald Trump has been threatened by the Rolling Stones for using their songs at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives. It’s not the first time they have complained about the use of their classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want, which was played at the close of Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an indoor event criticised for its potential to spread the coronavirus. If Trump disregards the exclusion and persists, he will face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed.
