According to media reports, Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled from the bench Tuesday that the estate of Isaac Hayes is entitled to a preliminary injunction to stop the Donald J. Trump campaign from using Hayes’ song, “Hold On, I’m Coming” during campaign events. The family of singer-songwriter Hayes, who died in 2008, and Isaac Hayes Enterprises, became the latest in a growing list of artists who have threatened to sue Trump when it published a letter last month claiming unauthorized use of the song at Trump’s rallies.
