British rock legends “The Rolling Stones” have threatened legal action against US President Donald Trump for his use of their song, “You Cant Always Get What You Want” at his rallies despite cease-and-desist directives. The Stones said during a statement Sunday that their legal team is functioning with music rights organization BMI to prevent use of their material in Trump's re-election campaign.

The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorized use of their songs will constitute a breach of its contract , the Stones said. "If Donald Trump disregards the exclusion and persists, then he would face a lawsuit for breaking the embargo and playing music that has not been licensed."

The Stones had complained during Trump's 2016 campaign about the utilization of their music to fireside up his conservative base at rallies. The Rolling Stones' 1969 classic you cannot Always Get What you would like was a well-liked song for his events. It was played again at the close of Trump's recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma — an inside event criticized for its potential to spread coronavirus.

Other artists have also complained about having their music taken to Trump's events. The family of the late rock musician Tom Petty said that it had issued a cease-and-desist order after Trump used the song I Won't backtrack in Tulsa.

"Trump was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and customary sense behind," the statement said. "Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind. Tom Petty would never need a song of his to be utilized in a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together."

Neil Young, Grammy Award-winning musician, lashed out at Trump in 2018 after hearing one among his songs played against his wishes during Trump's pre-midterm campaign rallies. The Canadian-born musician admonished Trump for using his 1990 single, Rockin' within the Free World , in spite of earlier warnings.
