    Ah yes that’ll definitely stop him doing whatever he wants.

      She and the rest of those involved in the business of her music have no means to preemptively stop him from using her music, but by speaking out against the anti-trans message she is still doing more than most US politicians.

      Of course it won’t, but it’s not like she should just throw her hands up in the air and go “oh well absolutely nothing I can do, better just stay quiet about it”

            She’s not suing him and the video in question is still using the music so no copyright claim has been made or upheld yet. So this is performative nonsense. Pure virtue-signalling “look at me I told the nasty man to stop using my music I’m on your side” whilst actually doing nothing about it.

              Oh yeah if she doesn’t actually do jack shit about it then yeah, 100% performative nonsense.

                The article says

                Later, the audio was blocked on the the post and Ari’s comment was also removed, but fans have circulated screenshots of it online.

                but I didn’t feel like verifying myself
