It’s an American tradition that dates back to George Washington himself. Sometimes, though, candidates appropriate music whose authors and rightsholders may not approve of its use, for a variety of reasons. Past campaign cycles have generated a long list of artists angered by the use of their work, and already it seems the 2016 campaign season will follow suit.
