Reply to comment by khamuncents in Tom Petty’s estate slams Kari Lake for ‘illegal’ use of song in ‘failed campaign’ by ftyftghryht

You can't get sued over the songs use at a wedding but you CAN get sued if you use it in a commercial function like an ad or other published media.

None of it matters over who is alive or dead, these are the laws of using media in a commercial setting.

Curious if they used it in a campaign ad or a public setting like at a speech event of some sort. If the latter, I think they can only ask them not to use it.
