Trump Still Has To Face The Music On 'Electric Avenue' Copyright Lawsuit

The suit will continue after a judge didn't buy the former president's excuse for lifting the Eddy Grant song for a campaign ad.

Former President Donald Trump lost his bid this week to jettison a lawsuit that accuses him of copyright infringement for helping himself to music for a campaign video mocking Joe Biden.

The suit was filed by musician Eddy Grant last year over his popular tune “Electric Avenue.” Trump used the music as background in an odd video posted to Twitter featuring an animated version of Biden driving an old-fashioned railway handcar.

Twitter removed the video a year ago after Grant complained. He had his attorneys issue a cease-and-desist order, and then sued Trump.
