Musician Neil Young is again suing Donald J. Trump for using the song "Rockin' in the Free World" at his campaign rallies. He is seeking $10 million in damages from a federal court for harm to his reputation. El Pais ↗
Young claims that Trump is using the song without his consent, despite the ban the musician had previously communicated to him. This is the second lawsuit related to the use of the song during Trump's political events. Spiegel.de ↗
The dispute also concerns an agreement reached approximately six years ago. In it, Trump agreed not to use the song at his events any further. However, according to Young, he continued to include it in the program of his rallies despite this agreement. The Guardian ↗
In the lawsuit, the musician stated that the song represents the complete opposite of what, in his view, Donald J. Trump stands for. Young is among the president's outspoken critics and has long opposed having his work associated with Trump's political campaign.
The song "Rockin' in the Free World" is one of Young's best-known songs. Its use at political events has caused disputes in the past as well, since artists often object to their music being used without explicit consent.
There is no further information yet on how the case will proceed or whether Trump's campaign will respond to the lawsuit. The court will have to assess whether there was a violation of copyright and a breach of the earlier agreement.
