Warner Bros. Is Filing A Copyright Claim Over Trump's 2020 Video For Using The "Dark Knight Rises" Score
President Donald Trump on Tuesday posted a video on Twitter that appeared to be part of his 2020 re-election campaign. In less than three hours it had already amassed over 1 million views, but it might not be up much longer.
BuzzFeed News has learned that Warner Bros. Pictures is filing a copyright infringement complaint to have the video taken down because it uses part of the score from the studio's 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises.
The roughly two-minute video juxtaposes brief shots of prominent Democrats — from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to comedians Rosie O'Donnell and Amy Schumer — against images of Trump from his first two years in office, including his meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Brazil's far right president Jair Bolsonaro.
Dramatic text exclaims "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they call you racist." There is no spoken dialogue — instead, a driving, dramatic score plays underneath everything, crescendoing just as Trump raises his fist into the air.

Trump ripped off the track "Why Do We Fall" from Hans Zimmer's score.

would he be proud of his dealings with Kim Jong Un. 
Kim has made a monkey out of Trump, but Trump thinks he's been "the man" in that sordid relationship. They're "in love", remember. 
Usually when you hear about a candidate stealing music, it's a republican. 
Now, think of all the fines people have had to pay that pirated music for their own benefit, or even the ones that burned copies and sold them at flea markets and such. You know those ones that were making money off pirated music had to pay outrageous fines for copyright infringement. Again, think of how much money the tRump campaign brings in. Why he's now had over 2 million views!!! He must be taught a lesson just as those others who infringe upon copyrights. The tRump for pResident campaign should probably be fined the largest amount ever as they undoubtedly will be raking in the most money for their campaign. No one is above the law. Especially copyright law. That's some serious shit there....
