“Tribute”

Maybe we'll get some DMCA reform now.

tl;dr

Someone filed a copyright complaint against the video. The complaint is substantiated. The article does not say who did it.

Trump is of course saying how twitter is biased against him where literally twitter must take down that ad due to the DMCA and them being personally held liable if they didn't.

Trump doesn't understand the law, or at least pretends not to.

Surely the Trump campaign's response should be to claim that they are not infringing. This should put the video back up, according to DMCA rules. I'm not really familiar with Twitter's DMCA work flow. Do they not allow the user to challenge the claim?

They are supposed to allow the user to challenge the claim, and if so, the video can be put back up after 10-14 days, if the complainant doesn't start a lawsuit, if I understand the process correctly.

Are you saying Twitter, or Trump, should do something?

This would break Republican victimization narrative, and they probably do infringe. Under DMCA Twitter must takedown contested content.

I for one am happy to see Twitter not take his crap anymore. He disrupted politics, now they’re disrupting him. He’s such a crybaby, this is genuinely enjoyable. Had he any sort of professional/presidential tone to him, this would have never happened. He did this to himself.

Seems like fair use to me.
