State of the Union video tweeted by Trump is ‘removed’ after copyright complaint from R.E.M. publisher

The publisher of rock band R.E.M.’s music asked Twitter to remove a satirical video clip containing one of the band’s songs that President Donald Trump’s account tweeted Friday, CNBC has learned.

The clip, which was first posted by another Twitter user and runs more than two minutes in length, plays audio from R.E.M.’s early-’90s hit single “Everybody Hurts” over excerpts from Trump’s Feb. 5 State of the Union address.

R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills took notice, saying that the president had retweeted the video from Twitter account CarpeDonktum, who Mills says created it. “Measures have been taken to stop it,” Mills said.

As of the early hours Saturday ET, Twitter users could not play the video posted by Trump, and many saw a message that read, “This video has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”
