Trump loses 'Electric Avenue' lawsuit as judge finds he has zero defense for tweeting the song

In the first legal blow, the judge found that the song was properly copyrighted. And in the second blow, the judge threw out the only defense offered in the case: a claim that Trump had made "fair use" of the song.

Perspective.
