“The estate of the late soul singer Isaac Hayes is moving forward in their lawsuit against Donald Trump for using a song co-written by the artist. “The Federal Court has granted our request for an Emergency Hearing to secure injunctive relief,” the late singer’s son, Isaac Hayes III, wrote on X Friday. According to Hayes III, Trump himself will have to appear in court in September. The lawsuit was originally filed earlier this month and sought $3 million for the former president’s campaign’s unauthorized use of “Hold On, I’m Coming,” a 1960s song originally performed by duo Sam & Dave, more than 100 times. Prior to the filing, the Trump campaign was asked to discontinue the use of the song, but things came to a head on August 10, the anniversary of the singer’s 2008 death, when Trump used it again at a Montana rally. “Donald Trump represents the worst in integrity and class with his disrespect and sexual abuse of Women and racist rhetoric. We will now deal with this very swiftly,” Hayes III wrote on X.”

The judge agreed to an emergency hearing. It is hardly a victory.
These click bait titles are one of the reasons that the media is not trusted.
Edit: For those suggesting that it is a victory. A ‘day in court’ is a far cry from winning the substantial settlement being asked for.

They should do a class action suit against him with every band he used illegally. Wonder how many there would be and how many times they were used.

Imagine if every artist they used without permission did this and Trump had to appear at every hearing. It would severely limit his ability to campaign.

While I’m all for anyone sticking it to Trump, I’m also very much opposed to Hayes and his 100% hypocritical take on his role on a certain popular animated series. The man took plenty of money when they were bashing christians and jews and muslims and just about any other religion, but the second they make fun of scientology suddenly it’s a big no no.
And yes, I’ve heard the excuse used. I don’t believe it. With everything we know on how scientology operates I don’t believe one iota of the excuse.

Trump should license this one from Isaac Hayes AKA Chef:
Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)
Song by Chef
Two tablespoons of cinnamon,
And two or three egg whites
A half a stick of butter
Melt it
Stick it all in a bowl, baby
Stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a cup of flour,
You’ll be in heaven soon
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They’re big and salty and brown!!
If you ever need em’ quick,
Pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth
Ooohh!!
Suck on my chocolate salty balls,
Stick ’em in your mouth and suck ’em
Suck on my chocolate salty balls,
They’re packed full of vitamins and good for you,
So suck on my balls!!
Quarter-cup of unsweetened chocolate
And a half a cup of brandy
And throw in a bag or two of sugar
And just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookie sheet,
Cause I hate when my balls stick,
Then preheat the oven to three-fifty,
And give that spoon a lick!!!!
Say everybody have you seen my balls
They’re big and salty and brown!!
If you ever need em’ quick, pick me up
Just stick my balls in your mouth!!!
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
Put ’em in your mouth and suck ’em
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
They’re packed full of goodness,
High in fiber!!
Suck on my balls
Sniff sniff sniff
Hey, wait a minute,
What’s that smell?
Smell like somethin’ burnin’
Well that don’t bother me none
As long as I get my rent paid on Friday
Baby you better get back in the kitchen,
Cause I gotta sneak in suspicion
Oh man baby,
Baby,
You just burnt my balls!!!!
Help me!!
My balls on fire!!
Help me baby, my balls are burnin’!!
Get me some water!!
Pour some water on me!!
My balls are burnin’!!
Oh my goodness!!
Blow on ’em, blow on ’em
Do somethin!!
Oooh
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
Put em’ in your mouth and suck ’em
They on fire baby!!
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
Blow em out baby!!
Oh!
Suck on my balls, baby!!!
Suck on my balls, baby!!
Suck on my red hot, salty, chocolate balls!!!
Come on baby!!
Whoo!! Whoo!!
Suck on my balls!!!!!

So? Lemme get this straight. I took a selfie vid of me in my car (car mount) cruising and listening to some tunes. Just so happened to be a guns and roses song on the radio. I had been working on my car for a while and was proud to get it running and wanted to show my FB car friends. It was a ~25-30 second video.
Facebook flagged the video in mere minutes because of a copyright violation. I wasn’t even trying to use their music in a monetary way and was confused when my video was flagged until I got the email from them.
These fuckers think that they can just use anybody’s song wherever and whenever they want and play it to thousands of people in a concert type venue without paying or asking for the right to use any said song?
Dude’s just plugging in their iphones to the DJ’s aux cord?
