Twitter Removes Trump Campaign Video after Queen Complain

2019/10/16

The music publisher of the rock band Queen has instrumented the take down of a campaign video posted by US President Donald Trump, which it said infringed the group’s copyright.
 
As reported by Buzzfeed News on October 13, the video, which featured Trump speaking at rallies, used the entirety of the song “We Will Rock You” as its soundtrack.
 
According to the report, a representative for the band told BuzzFeed that Queen had not authorised the use of the song for the video, which was posted on Twitter on October 9.
Additionally, the representative said the band had “already entered into a process to call for non-use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign”.
 
The video was removed on Sunday, four days after it was originally posted, but not before being viewed more than 1.7 million times.
 
In space of the video, Trump’s tweet now reads: “This media has been disabled in response to a report by copyright owner”.
