Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood and director Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for a segment of music from their 2017 film Phantom Thread to be removed from Melania Trump’s controversial Amazon documentary.
The musician, who composed the score for the film starring Daniel Day-Lewis, alleged in a statement that the usage of the music was a breach of his composer agreement.
“It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary,” Greenwood and Anderson’s representatives said in a joint statement obtained by Variety.
His attorneys claimed that while Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, the film’s distributor, Universal, “failed to consult Jonny on this third-party use, which is a breach of his composer agreement. As a result, Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary.”

In recent years, Greenwood has been a more active film composer than rock musician, writing or contributing to the scores for 12 films, including One Battle After Another, There Will Be Blood and Liquorice Pizza.

Who ?
Even before this stupidity, I thought Radiohead was way overhyped.
Their first album was good. It’s been downhill since then.
I bought OK Computer after someone told me it was killer, circa 2000. I bought it; the lyrics were wtf, and the music was meh.
To wit….
[Verse 1]
A heart that’s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won’t heal
[Verse 2]
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don’t, they don’t speak for us
[Verse 3]
I’ll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
Silent
[Verse 4]
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
If they paid the royalty, too bad.
If you read the article, he does not even own the copyright. He just wants to whine.
” Melania Trump’s controversial Amazon documentary.”
Oh FFS. Lighten up Francis
That was my take as well.
He claims he should have been consulted before third party use. Well, Radiodickhead, was it in writing?
First I’ve heard that is controversial
It seems his beef should be with Universal whom he says didn’t consult with him per their contract.
I have never in my life heard of this group.
It upsets my artistic fee fees.
I don’t understand. While a movie is being made, they have a person whose job it is to clear all the rights to any music used in the movie? Was this agreed to, then retracted? Or was it a major screw up?
The rights are often owned by the label not the artist so someone can pay to use it even if the original artist doesnt want them to have it.
Looks like Radiogiveshead’s loser composter Jonny “Softwood” is Virtue Signaling for his Lefty buds back in Crackifornia.
Jonny Softwood
He’s a creep, a weirdo.
Nothing left-wing is ever “controversial.”
Is he in ASCAP? Then anyone can pay the fee to put it in their film. It’s not cheap. But this stuff is cleared for every movie.
