Nickelback Issues Copyright Claim on Funny Trump Video
PJmedia ^ | 10-3-2019 | JIM TREACHER

Posted on 10/03/2019 1:09:18 PM PDT by servo1969

Yesterday, President Trump did something he doesn't do that often, at least not intentionally. He made me laugh. He tweeted a funny video about the Hunter Biden/Ukraine mess, set to the 2005 Nickelback song "Photograph." No matter what else you like or dislike about the guy, you gotta admit that nobody can troll quite like Trump. Not even Obama could troll his enemies like Trump does, and Obama trolled 'em like a mofo.

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH! pic.twitter.com/QQYTqG4KTt

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2019

As you'll notice, when you click that video you get a message that it's been disabled in response to a report by the copyright holder. Uh-oh. What happened?

Alex Hern, The Guardian:

A video posted by Donald Trump has been removed from Twitter after a copyright claim by the rock band Nickelback.

---------------------------

And now the band is falling prey to the Streisand effect, where any attempt to censor something just makes people even more curious about it. What's the big deal? What doesn't Nickelback want us to see? Shouldn't the band be happy that anybody still cares about them in 2019?

I thought that was George (Kellyanne) Conway, in ‘happier times’.

Clip was less then 15 seconds so no copyright infringement going on. Plus its parody as someone else mentioned weird al.

But they get to take it down for now.

I honestly don’t think they have a copyright claim. I’m pretty sure a parody is covered under “fair use” in copyright law. That’s why there are still multiple versions of this video all over the place.

They issued a “copyright complaint” just to give Twitter a reason to block it on the President’s page.

The only time I have ever heard people talking about Nickelback it was in relation to how much they suck and that anyone who listens to them has no taste.

I loved the line, “And what the hell’s on Joey’s head?”
We have the greatest President!

I agree that it wasn’t a copyright infringement. Even after it was taken down, I was able to watch it through many twitter feeds. I hope a lot of people were able to enjoy President Trump’s humor!

I don’t either. I remember him as a dour, humorless prig. Fortunately, it’s getting harder to remember his worthless eight years at all.

As Captain Sobel pointed out to Corporal Malarkey in Band of Brothers, his name is Irish for "Bull$#!+". In a similar vein, the name Biden must be Irish for "Dumba$$". The billionaire in the White House, and/or his political party currently breaking all past pre-election fund raising records, can easily afford endless broadcasts of fifteen second spots of the video showing Dumba$$ bragging about forcing the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his cocaine snorting boy, or "they won't get the f***ing money".

Suckiest band, ever.

I've heard that from many sources but I've liked their music from the first time I heard it. Sure is better than a fairy voice at high octaves to my ears.

I haven’t been able to figure that one out.

The other day, I did find several siblings of Devon, and it looks like someone has removed the description at the top of the page, since then. They still show up further down the page.
