Reply to comment by imakenosensetopeople in Tom Petty’s estate slams Kari Lake for ‘illegal’ use of song in ‘failed campaign’ by ftyftghryht
The correct term is “they don’t need to if the venue has an ASCAP license”.

Except the concern was, the campaign was using it - not just a single instance in a single venue. Can the campaign purchase an ASCAP license, and did they? Or is the assertion here that any venue which played the song had their own ASCAP and the complaint filed by Petty’s estate is not going to hold up?

See #2 above.

At which point, wouldn’t it be easy for them to verify without having to go through the legal process?
