The Tom Petty estate says,"We're shocked to find out that Tom's song was stolen and used without permission or license to promote Kari Lake's failed campaign. This is illegal. We are exploring all of our legal options..."The Tom Petty estate and our partners were shocked to find out that Tom’s song “I Won’t Back Down” was stolen and used without permission or a license to promote Kari Lake’s failed campaign. pic.twitter.
Good. Take her down plz.
Hey why doesn’t abc do what cbs just did…. Jus sayin
Is that all you leftie “news” weirdos have… yeah, good luck with that
Are you going to fight every one that says that? A lot of people say that phrase!!!
Get a life
Good! That’s an awesome song, And tell her “Don’t Come Around Here No More”
Just going to point out casually that the DingDong the witch is dead song from Wizard of Oz is public domain.
He's dead, so he probably voted for Hobbs.
Sue her a$$ off!
Spare me! A song is out there😃
I never liked Tom Petty anyway!! Proves I was right!!
She should have went with a Rascal Flatts tune.
Why? Its our song in spirit. We made it popular. We made them rich. Tom is gone. Give it back!
Well, he is a Petty man. I hope he would be against voter suppression and for true democracy. Where are all the big corporations who were upset about the GA election laws, but are not saying a word on the actual voter suppression that occurred in AZ. AZVoterSupression
ABC15… and why nobody watches you!!
Sounds pretty 'petty' if you ask me.
Kari is a Krook and Kon Arti$t
Surely they have better things to worry about.
Seriously? Guess you haven't made enough over the years - tacky Petty. Who would've guessed you'd live up to your name...
I love it!
Kari won!
Tom Petty voted for Hobbs this election.
Why do you want rigged elections? How much are they paying you to want rigged elections? Do you understand how long eternity is to burn? Is it worth lying to everyone for money? Oooof
Oh grow up man!!
She plays? She neds to pay.
Tom pettys estate sucks
blah blah blah...KariLake shouldn't back down and they are pathetic
Can they prove it cause last time I checked a general music license covers this which is not hard to get
If they didn't try to sell it it's none of your business if they played it
I wouldn't expect anything less. Kari should know better. Fuck this style of life. We screwed. Let's see who invented talking, communicating? Watch out we might get sued.
Yeah he had the correct last name. Very, very, petty. Doesn’t really matter anyway because there is no real journalism , just a bunch of partisan hacks. Absolutely no objectivity.
Playing the song of some heroin addict no talent in public is not a “case”
Screw that has been, deceased, drug addict. It was probably the first time the younger voters had even heard a Tom Petty song.
Yawn 🥱
🥳
Give it a rest
Hasbeens have to make a living somehow suing people that actually work...
Who’s Tom petty? Hahaha..
Living up to his last name.
You'll keep Losing!
Brazil 2020 Flashback
That’s not ‘petty’ at all 😂
HEY ! Tom Petty's estate
Sue crap outta her
How Petty...
Good! Rip that Bitch apart!
It seems petty to report something like that when at least half of Arizona’s voters don’t trust our election system.
Funny how Petty Tom is 😂
Proof, people will literally complain about anything.
I hope he sues you for at least $10M. Then again that won’t teach you a lesson. Get your checkbook out Krazy
“News”
Pretty much a non-story, liberals always looking for a negative story to stir the pot .. how about the story of the bidens men being investigated, ABC15 I hear that’s going to be a big story.
Even The Losers...
Good she’ll keep losing like trump! Watch her margins drop by count
What liberal pukes, he’s lucky to get some publicity
'Free Falling' was the appropriate Tom Petty song!!
Good !
chrisadonnelly She'll deny it!
Get’m Tom
We have been through this before - with Trump. No one care what liberal singers think any more. Trump won.
Go Kari !!!
Good, she should not use things she has NO right to use.
hope they sue her pants off
Blah blah blah. How about you focus on the tens of thousands of AZ Republican voters who were horribly treated and disenfranchised on election day due to Maricopa County Election fuckery? It is breaking of law what happened to them.
You Wreck Me. Tweeter (Hobbs) and the Monkey Man (Bill Gates). Don’t Come Around Here No More. Don’t Do Me Like That. You Dont Know How It Feels, The Waiting. Listen To Her (Kari’s) Heart. While My Guitar Gently Weeps. End of The Line. Here Comes My Girl (Kari). American Girl!
She is starting to sound like that ex that won’t accept your break up. Watch out Kari Lake is going to randomly show up at your job and call you at random times in the night asking to come over 🫴
Why don't you report on half the machines going down on election day instead of something irrelevant.
Is Tim Petty telling her to back down from using his song 'I Won't Back Down'? If there's one learned one thing from the song 'I Won't Back Down'. It's that she won't back down.
Sounds Petty to me 😎
That's all the b**** knows how to do it's used people her and trump or just alike
I hope they sue her narrow little ass all the way off!!
Now this is hard hitting journalism.
Really? How petty he is
Courtesy of Motley Crue. Arizona voters to Kari Lake. 'Girl, don't go away mad. Girl, just go away.'
Whoppe fuckin do ya'll gonna sue the people that sing it during karaoke to?
I thought it would have been free falling.
Hope they sue her. Such a thief she is.
Go for it!!
I see the family is living up to their last name ........ 'Petty' .... Tom would be embarrassed for them.
Leave her alone
Oh, his estate will survive! Good God.
tompetty is PETTY PETTYTOM
Dkdc
lmao how petty
She’s so much like trump that she’s gonna start using orange tanner any day now. She’s grotesque. Shame on those of you that voted for her. Your vote reflects your judgment.
Sue the crap out of her!!
Boo hoo boo hoo
I’ll add one more thing tol my previous tweet, .. for those thinking lake is being picked on petty… remember a few years ago the recording industry went after thousands of people for down loading music for personal use , saying it cheated artists out of their copyrights
it's not her fault. her team should have taken care of this before posting. she shouldn't be blamed for every single thing. KariLake
Seriously What a bunch of losers!!
DanRiehl 🙄
She should of just used YMCA like Trump. Maga loves that song
Oh please 🙄
Seems this is a recurrent behavior in the GOP...🙄
There are none. It’s a good song and she can use it. “Come on man”
My God people it's a song. MIck Jagger DIDN'T complain.
This is getting SUPER ridiculous
If you don’t respect intellectual property rights how can you govern? KariLake of all people who has worked in the broadcasting industry fully understands accreditation to the originator. She heard that powerful anthem & thought wow my team got Tom Petty to endorse me? WRONG.
Go ghost of Tom. Shut her down.
BoycottTomPetty
What, she couldn’t steal “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me”?
Good, so glad she is not our governor, Arizona deserves better than a crook like her.
Wow if she keeps this up she'll have more law suits against her than Donald Trump.
Omg. I post car videos every single day and use everybody & their mama‘s music because it’s available!!!
Good
Love it! I'd be pissed too .. Kari Lake associating herself with anything is toxic. She's despised. Glad AZ got rid of her
A loser and a thief
Kari shows no R E S P E CT. That’s why she needs lawyers.
Why would Kar-i-Lago use Petty music when there are Ted Nugent's Great Hits available?
Why is it all these GOP so-called ‘business savvy’ candidates think they can use artists’ work for free? Aren’t AZGOP TeaParty Libertarians like Lake the ones always bragging about how they succeeded all by themselves? Stealing not cool.
Unless she made money off the use of it not sure what sort of a case they gave.
Kari finding out Karma is a b$t(h!
Hilarious how these musicians don't want any of these jackasses using their music 🤣
Well, at least his last name fits the situation. 🤔
Waste of time
That’s so Petty
