Federal Judge Bars Trump from Isaac Hayes Song
News summary

A federal judge has ruled that Donald Trump and his campaign must cease using Isaac Hayes' song "Hold On, I’m Coming" at rallies due to a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Hayes' estate. The court's decision followed claims from Hayes' family that Trump did not have permission to use the song, and they are seeking $3 million in damages. Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. granted an injunction to stop future use of the song but denied the Hayes estate's request to remove past recordings featuring it. Isaac Hayes III expressed satisfaction with the ruling, hoping it encourages other artists to protect their work from unauthorized use. Trump's legal team stated they were relieved that the judge did not mandate the removal of existing videos and acknowledged that the campaign would no longer use the song. This case highlights ongoing tensions between musicians and political campaigns over the unauthorized use of music.
