Musician Eddy Grant secured a partial win in New York federal court on his claims that former President Donald Trump and his campaign improperly used the composition of Grant’s song “Electric Avenue” in an animated video during Trump’s 2020 campaign and on his personal Twitter account without Grant’s permission. The Trump campaign did not substantially alter the song, so its use was not transformative, and Trump and his campaign could not show they used the video in a non-commercial manner. In sum, use of the song was not defensible under the fair use doctrine.

The sex discrimination claims filed by a former waitress, now manager, survived the restaurant owner’s motion for summary judgment in North Carolina federal court. After the two had a relationship for three years, the owner began berating the woman, calling her names such as “gold-digging whore,” blocking her entrance to the restaurant and putting and electronic tracker on her car. This harassment was a pattern, not just one incident, so the manager’s sexually hostile workplace claims survive, and they are not time-barred.

An Illinois federal court ruled on various motions in the FTC’s case against convicted fraudster and infomercial personality Kevin Trudeau, who has since allegedly violated the settlement, contempt and consent orders that bar him from misrepresenting the benefits of any product he sold in infomercials.

The Fifth Circuit has previously ruled that indiscriminately confining pretrial detainees with convicts is unconstitutional.
