Neil Young Hits Trump With $10M Lawsuit for Playing ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ at Rally — Again

"The song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for," write Young's attorneys in the copyright infringement complaint.

Years after Neil Young first sued Donald Trump for playing “Rockin’ in the Free World’ at political rallies, the rocker is once again taking the president’s team to court for using the 1989 hit without a license.

Young sued Trump’s political action committee, Trump 47 Committee Inc., for copyright infringement on Monday (Oct. 26). The lawsuit, obtained by Billboard, seeks $10 million in damages for the use of “Rockin’ in the Free World” as Trump’s walk-up song at an Oct. 12 rally for the upcoming midterm elections in Youngstown, Ohio.
