Trump Campaign Ordered to Cease Song Usage
News summary

A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump's campaign to cease using Isaac Hayes's song "Hold On, I'm Coming" at events, following a lawsuit from the artist's estate alleging unauthorized use without a proper license. Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. issued a temporary injunction, stating the campaign must not use the song again, though he declined to require the removal of past recordings featuring the track. The Hayes estate's legal team expressed satisfaction with the ruling, viewing it as a victory for artists' rights. Trump's campaign has used the song over 100 times at various rallies, prompting the lawsuit. This ruling adds to a growing list of musicians who have contested Trump's use of their music, including Jack White and ABBA. The Hayes estate is now pursuing further legal action for compensatory damages over the unauthorized use of Hayes's music.
