Trump campaign must stop using Isaac Hayes song after lawsuit from family
CBSN
A federal judge in Atlanta ruled Tuesday that former President Donald Trump and his campaign must stop using the song "Hold On, I'm Coming" while the family of one of the song's co-writers pursues a lawsuit against the former president over its use.
The estate of Isaac Hayes Jr. filed a lawsuit last month alleging that Trump, his campaign and several of his allies had infringed its copyright and should pay damages. After a hearing on the estate's request for an emergency preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash ruled that Trump must stop using the song, but he denied a request to force the campaign to take down any existing videos that include the song.
Hayes, who died in 2008 at age 65, and David Porter co-wrote "Hold On, I'm Coming," a 1966 hit for soul duo Sam & Dave — made up of Sam Moore and the late David Prater Jr.
