Abba Demands Trump Campaign Remove Rally Footage Featuring Its Music

Breaking News: Abba Takes Legal Action to Protect Copyright

Trump Campaign Defies Cease-and-Desist Letter, Faces Lawsuit

In a significant development, the legendary Swedish pop group Abba has filed a lawsuit against the Trump campaign for copyright infringement.

The lawsuit alleges that the Trump campaign used Abba's music in a campaign rally without permission.

Abba's management sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump campaign on August 18th, demanding the immediate removal of the music from all platforms.

Trump Campaign Refuses to Comply

Despite the cease-and-desist letter, the Trump campaign has refused to remove the music.

The campaign claims that it has a right to use the music under fair use doctrine.

Fair use is a legal defense that allows the use of copyrighted material for certain purposes, such as criticism or commentary.

Abba's Legal Claims

Abba's lawsuit argues that the Trump campaign's use of the music does not qualify as fair use.

The lawsuit states that the campaign used the music to promote Trump's political agenda, which is not a protected purpose under fair use.

The lawsuit also alleges that the campaign's use of the music caused harm to Abba's reputation.

Legal Experts Weigh In

Legal experts believe that Abba has a strong case for copyright infringement.

One expert, Professor Jane Ginsburg of Columbia Law School, said that "the Trump campaign's use of Abba's music is clearly not a fair use."

Professor Ginsburg added that "the campaign's use of the music is likely to cause harm to Abba's reputation, which is a factor that courts consider when evaluating fair use claims."

Trump Campaign Responds

The Trump campaign has not yet responded to Abba's lawsuit.

However, the campaign has a history of defying copyright laws.

In 2016, the campaign was sued by the Rolling Stones for using the band's song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" without permission.
