    To be in compliance with copyright law, political campaigns must receive a public performance license from organizations like Broadcast Music Inc. or the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

          If a politician that I supported wanted to use some IP of mine and didn’t ask beforehand I’d just sign the document after the fact and if a politician that I didn’t support did the same I’d send a C&D.

          How else is it supposed to go down?
