Hayes Estate Sues Trump for Copyright Infringement

The family of the late singer Isaac Hayes is suing former President Donald Trump for $3 million over the unauthorized use of the song 'Hold On, I'm Comin'' at campaign rallies from 2022 to 2024. Hayes' estate accuses Trump of 134 counts of copyright infringement and demands the cessation of use, removal of all related videos, and a public disclaimer. Isaac Hayes III, Hayes' son, has publicly denounced Trump for his actions, citing repeated requests to stop using the song without permission. The lawsuit, represented by lawyer James Walker, claims the $3 million fee is a 'discounted' amount, with potential for higher damages if demands are not met. This legal action adds to a list of other artists who have opposed the use of their music by Trump.
