Music’s emotional power is often exploited by politicians and corporations who use artists’ work without permission to evoke feelings that align with their agendas. Donald Trump’s unauthorized use of songs like the Foo Fighters' "My Hero" highlights this ongoing issue, with artists finding themselves powerless against legal loopholes. As campaigns misuse music that contradicts the creators' values, it's time to stand with artists, ensuring their work remains respected, personal, and under their control.
