    The Electronic Music scene has the Association For Electronic Music (AFEM), because the RIAA are insane about public performance rules and would completely kneecap the club scene if they were in charge. If DJs can’t perform the shit in their collection without explicit rights for every track, the scene falls apart.

    Interestingly, Trump could likely get away with hiring DJs and playing club anthems at his rallies, but that would probably alienate his base pretty severely.
