ABBA said they discovered Donald Trump using two songs called “Money, Money, Money” and “Dancing Queen” at an event in Minnesota in July.
They were completely unaware of this until they accidentally saw a video of the event posted on social media. ABBA was very angry and asked Mr. Donald Trump to stop this action immediately.
Previously, many other famous artists have complained about Mr. Donald Trump using their music without permission.
Dave Grohl, frontman of the rock band Foo Fighters, once spoke out to deny Donald Trump's representative's claim that they had been granted permission to use the song "My Hero" at rallies.
The rocker also promised to donate all of the money Foo Fighter earned from "My Hero" to Kamala Harris's election campaigns.
Another artist, Celine Dion, also criticized Donald Trump for illegally using the song “My Heart Will Go On” last month. Trump was also asked by the representative of artist Isaac Hayes for a licensing fee of up to $3 million.
Many other artists are in the same situation, but very few of them have been able to get justice for themselves, even though there are laws in the US about this. Specifically, musical works can only be used in election campaigns once the artist has given permission and is granted a Political Entity License by the BMI Music Copyright Agency (USA).
