Soul legend Isaac Hayes’ family is the latest to take legal action against the Trump campaign for unauthorized use of one of their songs. They are demanding $3 million in damages for the infringement. This comes after Céline Dion’s team also protested against the use of her ‘Titanic’ song at Trump’s rallies. This is not the first time the Trump campaign has faced backlash for using songs without proper authorization. The campaign has a history of using music without permission, leading to multiple lawsuits and protests from artists and their families. The unauthorized use of music in political campaigns is a common issue that remains a controversial topic in the music industry. Artists and their families often speak out against the use of their music for political purposes, citing copyright infringement and seeking damages for the unauthorized use. This latest lawsuit filed by Isaac Hayes’ family serves as a reminder to political campaigns to obtain proper permissions before using copyrighted material. As the legal battle unfolds, it brings attention to the importance of respecting artists’ rights and the legal consequences of not doing so. In the meantime, the issue of unauthorized use of music in political campaigns continues to be a contentious issue that raises questions about copyright laws and ethical practices in the music industry.
