Eddy Grant's lawsuit against Trump questions when a copyright applies, as Grant claims Trump infringed on the copyright by using 'Electric Avenue' in a campaign tweet.
Judge Koeltl expressed skepticism over Trump's claim that copyright only protects the complete compilation, noting that the song's performance is integral to the compilation.
The judge asserted that existing caselaw suggests the copyright owner can sue for infringement of a portion of the copyright, complicating Trump's defense.
Trump's defense cited cases related to other artists like Taylor Swift and Bob Dylan, but the judge's inquiry highlighted the lack of supportive legal precedents for their argument.
