Federal Judge Rules Trump Must Stop Using Song

A federal judge in Atlanta has ruled that Donald Trump and his campaign must cease using the song 'Hold On, I'm Coming' while a lawsuit filed by the estate of Isaac Hayes Jr. is ongoing. The lawsuit alleges copyright infringement and seeks damages from Trump, his campaign, and allies.

'Hold On, I'm Coming' was co-written by Isaac Hayes Jr. and David Porter and was a hit for soul duo Sam and Dave in 1966. The judge's ruling mandates that Trump must discontinue the song's use, but denies the request to remove existing videos featuring the song.
