1. All of that family makes me sick.

[ALBliberal]

2. OMG as a lifelong Petty fan... he is none too pleased.

[blm]

3. They see themselves as marketable, the Trumptrashians.

These people see themselves as stars.

🙄

[tosh]

15. Trumtrashians.

Perfect!

[senseandsensibility]

4. Petty is rolling over in his grave

and I hope she faces legal action.

[onenote]

23. No legal action possible. See post #22

5. Laura could be the next Dolly Parton.

Steal everyone else's music and have a few gold albums to her name. She should get a big gold star on the sidewalk in Hollywood.

Eric must be so proud.

[madaboutharry]

6. She has no talent.

This is a family where no one seems to tell anyone the truth about anything. How sad for her that no one took her aside and said “Don’t do this. It disrespects the Petty family. But also, your singing sucks.”

[underpants]

13. Whew. That brief clip was bad.

So she on a horse that’s wearing a tiara and she “won’t back down”? Back down from what exactly?

Jesus. These low rent clowns are like a reality show you watch to laugh at.

7. FUCK HER. Petty is rolling in his grave.

The band should serve her a cease and revisit order. He despised these tupes of people.

[onenote]

22. The cease and desist letter was issued in 2020 with respect to the use of Petty's recording

It has no effect with regard to Trump, or anyone else, recording their own version of the song. Anyone can take a song that has been released and make their own 'cover' version without having to get permission from the owner of the copyright in the song (the words and music). Permission is granted automatically through a form of compulsory licensing known as the mechanical license.

8. Who stepped on a cat's tail and recorded it??

[Delphinus]

17. Haha!

That is a laugh out loud response!

[regnaD kciN]

9. While she's at it, why doesn't she promote her stepsister's "Lick A Bird"...?

[pfitz59]

24. Autotune overload

Is there a real person slinging their feces in this song?

[ARPad95]

25. Did you mean to type "Lick a Bird"?

[Blue Owl]

10. Don't Gum around here no more....

[FSogol]

12. ROFL.

[demmiblue]

26. Omg!

[FakeNoose]

11. Not news

[Solly Mack]

14. Yeah, well, Ivanka's proud when her father only uses 3 diapers a day, so...

[Johonny]

16. Man, too cheap to even use auto tunes.

Typical Trump cheapo production, cheapo talent.

[struggle4progress]

18. Be sure to preorder her album: "As the garbage disposal caterwauls"

[jmbar2]

19. Ron Filipkowski's review...

And, claims this song is what Ron DeSantis used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo.

20. Have we heard anything from the Petty family/estate yet???

Just say

[onenote]

21. There isn't much that they can do about it.

Once a copyrighted song has been released, anyone can record the song without having the obtain the copyright owner's permission. All they have to do is pay a "mechanical license" fee, which is a form compulsory licensing.

The headline on the MediasTouch post is somewhat misleading. The cease and desist order that it suggests Trump ignored was issued in 2020 with respect to the Trump campaign's use of Petty's recording -- an action that does require a non-compulsory license.
