110. Protesting (frozen water) from using your songs

Mon Dec 29, 2025, 10:13 PM

Monday

Without permission isn't political, it's business.

If they are using her songs without permission and she says nothing then that is absolutely approval of its use because she is allowing them to use it without permission or compensation.

I will also add that speaking out against the overtly illegal detainment of innocent people also isn't political, it's the clear difference between right and wrong.
