The former president used Eddy Grants song in his failed 2020 re-election campaign
A New York federal judge on Tuesday declined to dismiss a lawsuit from musician Eddy Grant against former President Donald Trump over the use of his music during Trumps failed re-election campaign.
Trump used Grants song Electric Avenue in a video he posted to Twitter on Aug. 12, 2020. Following Grants copyright claim, Twitter removed the video. The social media site has also since banned Trump, theGrio previously reported.
Grant filed suit in New York last September, alleging copyright infringement. The animated video featured a train with Trumps campaign logo followed by a small handcar operated by his then-opponent, President Joe Biden, with Electric Avenue playing in the background. Trump argued that the copyright was fair use.
