my name is Ronald Coleman I represent uh president Trump in the Trump campaign c o l m n us perspective what the judge well the judge I think was very deliberate very careful very thoughtful he did order a partial injunction with respect to Future use of the song which had we had already agreed we would not be making so that we consider to be a a wash we decided not to do that because of the interest of the campaign I'm sorry the interest the campaign doesn't has no interest in annoying or hurting anyone and if the Hayes family feels that it hurts or annoys them that's fine we we're not going to we're not going to force the issue uh most important to was at the moment was that the judge in recognition of really important free speech and political speech uh interest acknowledged that it would be an excessively broad use of his injunction power which is prohibited by the federal rules as well as the United States Constitution for him to have issued an order that would have a uh would have resulted in the campaign being forced to take down videos so we're very gratified about how it came out in fact you suggested that might well if certainly conceivable I I think it's just as conceivable that the timing was used as a pressure point as much as being the result of Frank political motivations I everyone I've dealt with on the other side has been a complete gentleman I think it's very important for us to understand that the fair use argument that we that we've been making is based on the way the video appears more or less in the background of the video I'm sorry with that the song appears in the background of the video we did when alerted to the issue um get a license you got a license because creators are entitled to be compensated for their work we believe in We Believe obviously the campaign believes and Mr Trump Believes In following the law when when the issue was brought to our attention we got a license in terms of fair use though that comes in at the video level the idea that that entire videos that have that music in the background should be taken down that's where the fear use uh argument comes in and i' be happy to to to to give a primer on fair use but I don't think I don't think we we're up for that today especially we actually have not conceded that we're not clear that the Hayes family does have an ownership right the judge felt that there was enough in the record to at least make a prim AAS of finding that they did have some kind of ownership right it's a little bit murky and the judge acknowledge that it's murky that is something that we're going to actually be talking about before we left court we we spoke to the um to the Hayes attorneys and and to Mr Hayes III uh about trying to work something out we wanted this to be as Cooperative process as possible going forward mran can you talk a little bit about the political part of this that you brought up do you think came to because are close to the election again I I do think the timing is implicated by the election but there's every reason to believe that that choice was a tactical litigation decision I have no way of knowing I I don't have an impression that Mr Hayes is particularly political but I could be wrong I don't know the matter what message do you take back to your Cent Donald Trump he should understand that the northern of Georgia is a very good court that listens closely that doesn't take sides that calls it as as they see him that's the message we have been meticulous about securing rights through the front door whenever possible so you will not this song again directly we actually already directed our client and one of our submissions that was filed on Friday night stated in an a declaration by the deputy campaign manager that out of consideration for the sentiments of the Hayes family and in order to avoid further litigation on that score we would stop playing it so it's not being used anymore but you're going to keep it on theb we're going to keep it on existing videos we're not going to go and add layers of it that would that would not be within the spirit of the of of the order that's for sure any other questions Ronald Coleman Co l m an with the Dylan Law Group I I I work with harit Dylan you you know her that's a political question and I'm just a a country lawyer thank you
