Neil Young sues Trump for $10 million over unauthorized use of his song

Canadian musician Neil Young has filed a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump, seeking $10 million in damages for copyright infringement, according to Variety. The lawsuit states that Trump used the song 'Rockin’ in the Free World' as musical backing at campaign events supporting the Republican Party, including a rally in Ohio on October 12. The artist, who openly criticizes the current president’s policies, is seeking a monetary penalty and a ban on the use of his work in political activities.
