also will be in the description box as well so I'm going to go ahead and start the second video for [Music] you okay here we go guys thank you all foring my name is James o Walker Jr I'm the league counselor for Isaac Hayes and Isaac Hayes estate as well as Isaac Hayes Enterprises I want my client Isaac Hayes III who I'm so proud of today no one has ever stood up to Donald Trump like this my co-council Reggie green Reginal green and Mr Greggs we still with this man and he and his family stood up to Donald Trump today and I'm very proud of him very proud of you thank you appreciate it uh we are very uh grateful and happy for the decision by just drash Donald Trump has been barred from Ever playing the music of Isaac Hayes again um you know I couldn't ask for a better decision I want this to serve as an opportunity for other artists to come forward that don't want their music used by Donald Trump or other political entities um and continue to fight for music artist rights and copyright any questions and your reaction to the judge uh saying that he would not ask that the videos be taken down that's temporary once we get to trial and we prove that they do not have a license today was a preliminary injunction to stop them from using it any further now we'll go into an evidentiary process my co-counsels will start Discovery you can elaborate what happens next on Discovery so today was uh called the preliminary injunction and the purpose was to stop him from any further use the case the underlying case for the infringement is still proceeding forward and we're going to take the steps necessary to ensure our client of Victory there was a lot of conversation today just about whether or not it was communicated to them to stop using the song I think you guys Mo over and over that you have several times you go through the steps which tried to get everyone's attention to stop using it and then the sub over and over yeah so this has been a fouryear process uh initially in 2022 right after the eval day mass shooting at the NRA convention in Houston Donald Trump used uh hold on I'm coming I made a tweet that I was not pleased with that um assist and deist was sent at that point over the next four years uh he continued to use the music um after the rally here in Atlanta um James and I had a conversation said we really got to find a way to stop him from using the music and this was the only means to be able to do that um he was also notified by BMI at a point a 100 days ago to not play uh the song but he continued to play the song multiple times after he was told not to so that's copyright infringement textbook copyright infringement we under copyright ERS um a lot of artists are not often in this position to stand up for their copyrights because publishing companies typically own the rights to uh the music but I always want to make sure that we are able to protect my father's Legacy my father lost the R's music um a year before I was born that music started to come back so after 56 years the last thing that we were going to do is sell our copyright and we're going to defend and continue to gather more Isaac Hay's copyrights you know the former presidentes watching May watching what message would you like message to the former president yeah it was it was it's made very clear don't play Isaac Hay's music songs anymore Mr Hayes one of the things mentioned in court today was basically that your father isn't here to speak for himself say whether or not he wants that song played how did you react to hearing that and what do you think your father would say I mean that's not I mean that that's fine copyright law states that um after 56 years of publication the rights of those songs either return to the author or The Heirs which is our family they've returned to our family we have a right to defend and protect our copyright and we did other than that um I've never wanted this song uh to be associated with Donald Trump in the manner that he was using it because it was something that he wased repeatedly more than any other song at his rallies he's been playing the song for four years almost um over and over again in rallies um as I've said before my sisters are behind me my my father uh uh was a father uh Seven Daughters I have seven sisters Donald Trump has been found liable of sexual abuse I know my father would not want that man playing his music uh man has been found liable of sexual abuse and some of the things that he says about women especially black women and women of color especially in this election and so we have to take a stand that we want to separate ourselves from someone with Donald Trump's character this is not a political issue this is a character issue um that's been made very clear today and I I want to say something hold on a second I want to say something to the brother who asked about the former president if you heard the judge clearly the judge said you need a license and that's a very very telling statement because there are 51 52 plus illegal uses that do not have a license so for a judge this morning to say to Donald Trump and team Trump okay guys guys let me just take this ad down and I will continue with the uh video the defendants who've now capitulated and said they will get us documents or they will work it out they will pull things down it's a very important point that the judge said you need a license under title 17 they argued fair use they argued political speech they argued a bunch of things I think their theory was we're going to just throw something out there and hope something sticks up against the wall and it's a tactic lawyers use where you throw something out and hope something sticks with the judge to help you get a victim this judge who I applaud understood intellectual property he understood title 17 he understood copyright law and by him understanding everything he was able to tell team Trump you don't have a license you don't have a license so don't use his music anymore period now that gets into us moving this case ahead as attorney green and attorney Griggs know we'll move this case ahead now and start with Discovery depositions and a lot of other things to basically make them pay and the damages are in the millions the damages are in the millions when you talk about this many willful copyright infringing songs and videos no it's after after they after that license being terminated by BMI there's no any opportunity to return to use the song and that was told to him over 100 days ago and he continue to use a song so there's no coming back from using the song and how do you respond to the suggestion in court today that this is all politically motivated on your that's totally not totally not politically motivated I've been doing these cases for almost 30 years we've gotten probably 250 plus artists out of bad contracts and situations like this this is what we do I saw him post something on August 3rd and I called him from Chicago and said do you want us to handle this and he said please step in so from August 3rd to September 3rd he has shut Donald Trump down he and the team of lawyers Ava LZ gon back here quietly our copyright administrator Gina Ryan there's a whole team of people Paul Wilson one of my associates some Associates who couldn't be here really did a heat of work a whole lot of work here large P of work and our Howard law students also stepped in so I want to make sure we recognize a body of people who work non-stop for 30 days to get a prary preliminary injunction on Donald Trump that is an unheard of unheard of order by a court is one of the highest and hardest things you can get a court to a war but this man got it in the beginning you wanted to play a video of evidence correct the opening was powerful are you disappointed the judge didn't allow you to play the entire you said in the elevator he played it through yeah he played it exactly where I wanted him to know that Isaac haes was a songwriter and had written amazing records like hold on I'm coming in Soul man uh for artist like Sam and David he established himself as a writer so where people think that nobody knows that Isaac Hayes wrote hold on I'm coming that's just simply not true he was inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame along with David POR in 2005 so very many people that know and more importantly the people that we do business with that could affect Donald Trump using our music know who Isaac haes is and who the writer of that song is GS you want to take that one Discovery and where we going to go again we have to go through Discovery we have to go through the litigation process and so it's a process we're looking at uh months but I think the message was clear here from the court that you have to follow the law and I think in Georgia it's repeatedly been said that nobody's Above the Law they're not above above copyright law not above any law and so I think a message was sent today because Mr Hayes and his family stood up for the rights and Legacy of his father and a message was sent from a federal judge you must stop using these Works without a license that is a powerful and profound statement from a federal judge so we rebut the fact that there's an election coming this is about the law mattering and Mr Hayes uh is a champion of Rights he's shown that today by being one of the first to actually have Donald Trump enjoined ordered to stop doing something and so that's historic we're honored to work with him and these lawyers as we will continue on the process but it'll take months can you talk about for those who don't know what the significance of that song is what does it mean what does it mean to America what does it mean to music what does it mean to your family and why would Donald Trump want to use that specific song I mean I don't I don't I don't care about why he wanted to use it I know that my father was you know one of the pillars of stacks as a songwriter before he became an artist he wrote songs that um were the soundtrack of the 60s and the civil Rights Movement um hold on I'm coming and soul man those records were part of that and that's extremely important that is one that song is one of the gyms of our catalog um and it's licensed you know plenty of times every year and that was that was the point about this injunction is the fact that I don't want um that song politicized in any way because it's not about politics but it's also about the character of the person that's using the song and so let the song speak for itself we don't need Donald Trump's help to highlight um a song that is classic powerful is holding I'm coming and the judge also said that um you couldn't prove that you were being harmed by Future Brands so he wanted to use that song can you talk about that a little bit well let me answer that he said we couldn't prove that it was irreparable and imminent he didn't say we couldn't prove it down the line at trial he was saying is it something today and obviously there's still licens in the music so I think the judge's petition was hey I know you're hurt but you're still making money you're still licensing the song and we respect that you know we could go back and forth but we understand the judge was trying to be fair and balanced and attorney green pointed out some things you know about the decision of being fair right and the way it works is that today was to stop Donald Trump from unauthorized use of the song and to protect our right to go forward to be compensated for the use that's already been done so at the end of the day it's a victory across the board are there any Brands out there who actually use the song that you're allowed to use it yeah I mean the song gets license dozens of times a year so it's it's I couldn't tell you but enormous you know very powerful Brands these are always even when we talk about the the uh the penalty for copyright infringement is $150,000 we get licenses that exceed that sometimes double triple that for this for this song and so um I want to continue to be able to do that this is something I'll say say all the time that my father lost the rights to his music so the ability for him to actually benefit off his Works was something that he never got to do but we have a family here that never really got the opportunity to do that we are his heirs we have the right to continue to uh defend his copyright and benefit of it we are proud of our father's Legacy that he left the Legacy that's so lasting even Beyond his life and is part of black American culture and American culture itself so um you know I'm not worried about uh you know Trump using that song or any you know adding any value to that any other questions well we thank you all for coming out thank the people watching at home for supporting Isaac Hayes and the family of Isaac Hayes and I thinkk all my staff that are here some here some in the office I think everybody this is just the beginning we still have a lot of work to do we have to go through all of these uses and show where there is no license and I want to point out when you put a video up and someone downloads it now we feel that's another form of infringement just as if you download back in the day something on a CD or dvd we want to go through thoroughly all of these and figure out where the video went from Donald Trump posting it to the internet you know CF people downloading it and hold him accountable for all of them as willful copyright infringement so we thank judge thrash for granting our motion we thank all of the people who worked here and all of you who kept this story alive it's very important I want Mr Griggs to talk about just artists and their interests and the rights of artist I actually want to say that myself yes yeah I I think I want artists to come forward that don't want their music politicized um I know it's something that is standard done by these PR's BMI askat but if you don't want your music used by someone like Donald Trump contact your performing rights organization tell them directly that you do not want Donald Trump using your music and they will remove your work from his uh ability to do so which is what we have done and then we've taken that step further to Bar him from Ever playing that song again so I hope all the other artists that out there that have been in the news lately that have had a uh an issue with him playing music take this next step to Bar him from using their music as we wrap up we got to get back to our black jobs we think all of you but I got another hearing tomorrow so I gotta get to our black job thank okay guys thank you for watching like man says they got to
