The photo of Trump’s wife was published in the magazine GQ years ago and has been in the public domain. For the Super PAC to use the photo, they had to pay for the rights to the photo.

If Melania thought it was OK to pose in the nude why does Donald care if anyone uses the photo? Isn’t she proud of it?

and has been in the public domain.

Not trying to get into this mud fight but offer the following regarding works in the public domain:

The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it.

If it’s copyrighted it isn’t in the public domain, two different issues.
