Read previewShould Taylor Swift sue Donald Trump or just shake it off? "Swift could sue Trump and those who misappropriated her likeness by creating AI-generated images," Neama Rahmani, the president and a cofounder of West Coast Trial Lawyers, said. "So I wouldn't be surprised if they send the Trump campaign a cease-and-desist letter at a minimum," Rahmani said. Firmly in the "sue Trump" camp is James Walker Jr., a veteran entertainment attorney from Atlanta who reps the estate of Isaac Hayes. Swift would need to prove that the Trump campaign sent these images out with intent to deceive voters."

"Each songwriter belongs to a single PRO, so the Trump campaign would have needed to secure a license from the appropriate PRO," Litman said. According to BMI, Trump's campaign has taken out a "political entities license" from BMI for his 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns. Advertisement"If no license was obtained, the copyright owners in the songs can sue Trump, and they would win," Litman said. Trump's campaign has used Hayes' music at the former president's rallies more than 100 times and as recently as Saturday, Walker said. Walker, a 30-year entertainment-copyright lawyer, said the Hayes family hired him "after getting no response" from the Trump campaign for two years.
