Musician Eddy Grant sued President Trump’s reelection campaign on Tuesday, alleging that it was infringing on his copyrights to the hit song “Electric Avenue.” Grant filed the complaint in federal court in New York in response to a video Trump promoted on his Twitter account on Aug.12 that attacked Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Grant argued in the complaint that the president and his campaign “have continued to willfully and wrongfully infringe Plaintiffs’ copyrights.” “As of the date of this filing, the infringing video is still available on Twitter,” Grant stated in the complaint, which argued that the campaign’s use of his music was unlawful.
