"We can sue him," says one of Chumbawamba's founders, if Winston Peters continues to useTubthumping song.

Politicians being told not to use a song happens surprisingly often actually, I know Donald Trump was told not to use one, I believe it was “rocking in the free world”. They’ve also told Nigel Farage off, apparently.

    I can find no record that someone sold the rights to ISWC T-011.513.266-5 for the purpose of this use. Where are you getting your opinion?

    Note I’m not litigating the copyright system, just your comment.

      I don’t know about those codes. Is that the one for Rocking in the Free World? It just seems very unlikely to me that Neil Young would personally oversee every single use of this song
