A federal judge has mandated Trump’s campaign to cease the unauthorized use of Isaac Hayes’ song, a significant ruling impacting artists' rights against political campaign usages.
Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. reiterated the need for licensing, granting a temporary injunction but not ordering removal of past campaign videos that featured the song.
The Hayes estate expressed satisfaction with the ruling, asserting their goal was achieved by affirming that Trump could not use the music without a license.
Despite this setback, Trump's campaign quickly shifted to using different songs like Y.M.C.A., showcasing ongoing conflicts between political campaigns and music copyrights.
