I made this one, so am I going to get sued by these no-talent jerks?
Here’s one:

If it’s gone just go to Youtube and search for “biden nickleback.”
There will be one somewhere.
Trump is a PR genius. No other way about it.
He knows how to bait and troll the media (and politicians who stupidly follow them) so they will react as he wants. And then, of course the “woke” dullards in Hollywood and “entertainment” rise up as well.
every. single. time.
I saw the President’s small snippet of the Nickelback video, maybe it lasted all of 3 seconds and was chosen only because the lyrics applied to Biden saying he never did squat about blah blah. And the one lyric refrain was “Look at this photograph!”. That was it,
I had never bought or listened to anything by Nickelback so I did a Youtube search and understood why i never got caught up in their music. They seemed to suck and not a little.
But I thought most losers in the entertainment world will blast Trump because they think it brings them approval from the industry.
So I thought to expect a copyright violation charge and sure enough today it has arrived.
Then I thought Nickelback should be grateful for the Trump micro clip of their song “Look at this photograph” because they will get more publicity and curiosity than probably they ever saw before. But it doesn’t work that way. They suck so bad they probably are grateful when people don’t want to see them.

It was hilarious.
In the beginning the copyright owners of ‘Downfall’ tried to stop the Hitler satires. They eventually realized it was actually helping otherwise moribund sales so they stopped their opposition. A word to the wise for Nickleback.

Open and shut case of satirical fair use. The clip is far, far, far too short to serve as a replacement for Nickelback’s product or for a consumer to gain (I’m not kidding here) value apart from its satirical purpose.
As the saying goes, once you post something on social media it is forever. YT and Twitter can take it down but if it’s popular it will reappear somewhere. Someone has a copy and will re-post it.
Always.
TMZ said that Warner Brothers is the one that filed the copyright claim
..and Obama trolled them like a MoFo.
I’ve no recollection of that. Would like to see some examples.
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.
It was probably the greatest day of their careers!
Nickle-who?
