Kate Gibson, CBS News; Can R.E.M. stop Trump campaign from playing its songs at rallies?
"As R.E.M. threatens legal action to stop President Donald Trump from
playing its classic hit songs at campaign rallies, the iconic band joins

for politicians. Legal experts say artists do have a say in how their
music is used, but getting their day in court can be costly and take
years to pursue."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
