Queen Forces Removal of Trump’s ‘We Will Rock You’ Campaign Video

A Trump campaign video featuring the band’s song “We Will Rock You” has been taken down from Twitter following a copyright claim by the band. Trump tweeted the video on Sunday.

Buzzfeed News reports: ‘The video, featuring Trump speaking to supporters at rallies, was posted on Oct. 9, and it used the song in its entirety. At that time, a representative for the band told BuzzFeed News that the song’s use was unauthorized. The band had “already entered into a process to call for non use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign. This is ongoing,” the representative said within hours of the video going up.’

Don’t expect this video — which uses Queen’s “We Will Rock You” in its entirety — to remain up for long.

A rep for Queen told me tonight that the band “has already entered into a process to call for non use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign. This is ongoing.” t.co/VTLRnLx87p
