Politicians being told not to use a song happens surprisingly often actually, I know Donald Trump was told not to use one, I believe it was “rocking in the free world”. They’ve also told Nigel Farage off, apparently.

    Using a rights management agency isn’t the same as selling off/renouncing your rights to a property in perpetuity.

    Kind of like having a rental agent doesn’t mean you sold them the house.

    I’m sure every use request isn’t run past them personally but they’re political activists so there’s no way they would have a blanket “assume yes” policy on licensing for use by political entities.
